ITS hard to self-care, outside of therapy. To act on the support you know you need outside of therapy. To work this all out WITHOUT the therapist.
But, if you don't, all you'll have to show for struggle is your therapy... and life has to have more substance. not to say, therapy isn't valuable. it is. but, I'm trying to find more. And it hurts when I do it alone like this. The End.

My T calls it self-soothe. She will remind me of the tools she has recommended when I call her in a panic. And when I do use those tools, it helps. It just takes practice to remember and to use them automatically. And so, the regular therapy visits are very useful.

Jazzy-girl,
Good to see you and I am sorry, I can hear you are in pain. I know that you have had a rough year with going off to school and having less time with your t. You are right self-care is so important. Your t would be smiling if she read your post. Is there someone at uni this next year you can meet with for t? |

It IS hard. I am hopeful, though, that you will find your way. And know that we are here....

It is hard to do self-care. But you can do it.

Jazzy,
I SO understand what you're saying! I'm trying to take care of my own needs myself more, and relying on my less, and it is hard and even scary, and i can feel really alone sometimes. But we are not really all alone. We can encourage each other.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
