I found the piece really poignant because I feel I'm at that stage of wondering whether I'll ever be able to internalise a 'good enough' experience, and whether therapy is actually just rubbing salt into the wound... the let downs, the breaks, loving someone who doesn't love me back... feels like a continuous replay. So, for those who have, how do you break the cycle?

Hitting bottom helps. Unfortunately. When you have been SO down, and then when you get there again and again and again, what is the one thing available to you to change? For me, it was my relationship with t. The disbelief in the relationship fades to the background instead of being right in front of your face all the time. Like you cant worry about dying all the time so much that you cant enjoy life (maybe not a good example!).
