I have no confidence anymore and my sense of who I am is full of holes. I can see through myself. Maybe I need a break.


Yes we have to feel worse before we can feel better...as my T always reminds me, that I am stronger now and more able to feel the feelings as awful as they feel....we have to know where we've been to find where we going too...you are not fall of holes as much as the false parts off you are dying and its the loss of those parts that served you well once but not any more that you are grieving...it is always darkest just before the dawn...if therapy were about hop skip and jumping I think it would be a very shallow affair?? Perhaps?
