I write alot to. I can't bring myself to say some of the things that have gone on w/ me. I have just recently began to be able to write them. I told the T it was extremely difficult to write cretin words she said to write the hard pasts small. The harder and more difficult the lighter the pencil marks or the smaller the letters. I can't recall very well once I walk in here office. I also have a difficult time when something she says sticks out and I want to let her finish her sentence of story. Now I keep a note pad and write down what it is that I wanted to say or come back to. If I don't have to try so hard to hold that thought I can pay more attention to what she is saying. I have PTSD and the trauma's have apparently affected my short term memory and my recall skills. The dissociation doesn't help either. So writing keeps me focused.
