Dear T,

Thank you, for today. I left feeling much better than when I arrived, and I'm really glad that we managed to talk about that thing... It's been on my 'to mention' list for a few months now, but I've been too scared to. I'm never quite sure what I'm fearful of though, which is strange. You always ask and yet I rarely know. Except the unknown. I can't control your response, which unnerves me. I think I'm scared of not being validated, if I'm honest. Today I think I was scared of you dismissing me, and thinking I'm stupid for thinking that I might be. I'm scared of not being seen. But of course, I couldn't tell you that. I probably should though.

But it went well, that conversation. You didn't judge me for telling people that I am, when I don't even know for sure, and I'm grateful that you also thought it was a helpful strategy at certain times, with certain people. That means a massive amount to me.

And yes, we do think similar, in that it doesn't really matter one way or the other. It doesn't really matter where the symptoms come from, and we will never know for sure, what matters is where I am at right now and how we work with that.

So yeah, thank you. See you on Thursday!
