I have this strange thing that goes on in my head when I'm in a session. I guess it comes from years of hiding. I don't like to be seen as weak. I don't like to disappoint people. And I have a severe issue with trusting people. Particularly with my T and pdoc, both of whom I really don't like all that much. But... I'm giving it a chance.
So I find myself lying to them to make things not seem as bad as they actually are. I'm not saying it's even all THAT bad comparitively speaking, but I can't get past the mental block long enough to completely let my guard down. Every once in a while I'll say something and immediately feel dumb for saying it so I'll shut down and immediately minimize it... like I make fun of myself and downplay it. It's just a natural reaction I guess.
One example: Until recently I thought those voices I heard in my head... that "radio" that plays 7 stations at the same time... I thought that was normal. Seriously. I thought everyone had their own internal voices that liked to yell at them from time to time.
I meet with both of them next week and am nervous about telling them about it. I don't want anti psychotics... more than anything that's the last thing I want. So why mention it, especially to my pdoc?

well seems to me you are not alone!
my therapy is worse even exactly worse like maybe twice as bad as a job interview...it's like I'm applying for a freaking JOB TO BE MYSELF!
and everytime I swear it's easy for me I am so out of tune with myself but hyper in tune with everyone else I cannot contain this stupendous ability I can tell when the doc is uncomfortable!!
and I have no damn time to assess the reality of this amongst the social complexities during such emotional dyslexities!
so often I feel like I'm saving them from ME!
and I know it's true and why the hell not!??
it's so POSSIBLE that this individual might be in calamity and I'm just there and I can help them better than they help me and then I equally consider that's their tactic to play down and be all ******** and make me feel functional...asssholes ...either way!!??
whatever it is...??
if it aint GOD of the freaking UNIVERSE right there in that room I never feel like I can really let go!
so it usually happens much later!...by myself I flip out!!...and give myself the treatment!..
maybe these professionals are just catharsis?
