I had a session yesterday, and I guess I had what would be considered a breakthrough, because new memories surfaced and she was able to help me work through them. But since leaving there, I've just felt so heavy and upset. I've carried memories from my childhood abuser, emotional abuser, my rapist, etc. around for so long that I just hide them away, and if you met me or were friends with me you'd never know. No one knows of my experiences besides me and my T, and she often comments on my resiliency and mental strength. But today and yesterday, I felt that resolve breaking. I guess having her as my only support system isn't the best scenario, and I don't know how to keep myself from becoming depressed or upset until next week. I've never felt so tired or heavy or sad about my past until now, and it kind of surprised me. I was just wondering if anyone has skills that they've learned that might help keep me from despair when I'm not in my T's office, because I still need to function and go to school. She told me I need to 'sit with' my feelings, but I just end up feeling alone. I'm not sure how to deal with these thoughts/feelings, and though I plan on bringing this up next session, right now it seems so far away.
