Ugh, I see T today. I've been on the verge of a panic attack since LAST NIGHT. I don't how I managed to sleep, but I did...and I woke up still in a panic at 4:30 this morning.

Too much stuff going on that mirrors things from my childhood. Nothing abusive, at all. Just fears, feelings, etc.

I know I've been saying for over a month that I don't if I can do this, but I really DON'T know. I keep showing up because I have this glimmer of hope it will get better.

hold on to that glimmer!

has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.

Hang on to that hope; there's a reason that you have it.

I've been thinking about you today... hope the glimmer of hope is brighter after your session today.

I saw T for 2 hours...my session ran over by about 30 minutes.

It was hard, but good.

It took a long, long time to get grounded at the end, and maybe that's why the session went for so long. Maybe T wanted to make sure I was okay to drive home...I was WAY dissociated for a lot of the session. Anyhow, at the end, I asked him if he would walk outside with me. I've never been outside of the room T works in with T. He said yes and we went outside together and stood there for a few minutes. I can't remember what we talked about, but I remember him being outside with me, and it sort of made a little bridge of connection between the safety of his office and the outside world where I live. Like, I experienced being with T out here in the world - he's real, the safety is real, it doesn't just exist in that room.

It actually helped a lot.

I decided to take the day off, and spent the day writing and reading and resting. I feel SO tender and vulnerable, and I just want to make sure I stay okay.

So far, so good, I think.
