Yeah. I think sometimes therapy leaves me in a kind of fog. Sometimes it takes energy from me that I might otherwise put toward socializing. Sometimes I do want to talk and give a real answer when people ask how I am but one doesn't just say "oh you know, therapy has been really intense, trauma work is such a ******!" So I just say fine but then no connection is made.
