I don't really see any progress in my life, only how I react to things differently. I don't get upset over things people say to me anymore.
I am not sure t is helping me anymore, I am not sure therapy is helping me. I feel frustrated with my situation right now and I think therapy is keeping me stuck here in the bad place right now.

If you are anything like me, getting back into painting is going to help you a lot!!
For a long time my T had been asking if I'm drawing or painting and I said I like writing better. But she kept encouraging me. Finally, I listened to her, and it's such a great distraction/hobby for me! She wanted me to paint every day but I can't do that yet. When I paint, I'm in another world. My T calls it "flow". It's pure mindfulness, and calming except when I'm frustrated with my drawing. Water colors are more relaxing.
So, do it!! Just start painting and let me know how it goes!
