I don't have asked so much as different sources to my personality that are stronger at various times. Lately the inTegration had been better, but not by much. (I'm doing this on my phone, so please excuse the horrid spacing). I think feeling like your t is frustrated with you is common with many people. I know i have felt that way a lot of the time. I struggle with it must when I'm feeling more needy and a mess. My therapist has been kind enough so far too tell me that i do not bother or annoy him. Out can be hard to believe when the abuse and other life experiences make you believe you are s bother - definitely something i deal with a lot.

Although it isn't a pleasant experience to feel as though we can't talk to family, and it feels like we are a burden at times to T, it is good to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way. Coming on here, and finding others has really made a big difference for me.
