My friend keeps saying I need a counsellor. I am going to join a group of women who journal all their experiences and then share them. If I sat and talked to someone I would just use all the deflections skills I have learnt to hide from my mom and ex. I have a lot of stories that need to be told. I also want to tell stories to do with my present, with the outside world. I am stuck in my head, in my past, isolated, I would like to connect with other people even if it is just a cotton thread between us. I think I am out of the whirlpool I created from my past.
