I spend a lot of time up their in my head and avoid a lot of stuff outside my head.
Yes I have two therapists but is has been a sad realization that they can not be my parents, guardian, husband or take care of me outside of that 60 min weekly session and that if I did not pay them then they would not even bother with me soo it is all on me and I just feel like I am trying to survive until I die the way I am suppose to. |
yes sometimes I get these thoughts and spend time daydreaming about them. but I have learned that for me the best thing to do is either call my treatment providers or a friend. or I do something caring for myself like baking myself something I dont usually have or taking in a movie or show, treating myself in the caring ways that I would like others to do. this was taught to me by my treatment providers. here its called self care, self nurturing and self parenting.
suggestion maybe start out with something very easy like if you want someone to act like your parent and hold you , maybe put on a blanket around you while sitting in the corner of the sofa or chair. I have found this gives me the same feeling as if I was safely sitting against someone wrapped in their arms,
