PS I agree, if you have things to tell your t (or anyone) I think it means you’re not done with life

Your posts here also help at least 2 people (Mopey and I) and I’m guessing many more who are reading silently (maybe as “guests” or maybe members) and relating to some or even much of what you’re writing.

Authentic sharing isn’t as common as I would like it to be (imo... this probably sounds judgmental.. I guess like everyone else I have opinions So thanks for all your authentic posts dear Sinking

Also some of us don’t have therapists and have been discouraged from opening up by professionals so you are modelling being more open than is often found in some forests And being open, IMO, is an important step in healing. Certainly much more helpful than bottling everything up... negative emotions (I don’t mean negative in a pejorative sense, I mean not happy, joyful emotions ) are not a “weakness” - they are a result of pain and trauma (I’m sure you know this already)

I think you’re a warrior to keep fighting this depression ... I know how much it sucks
