Just wondering:
What is the most important thing you learned from therapy, which you would hardly ever have believed before you started it? |

The most unbelievable thing happened last week: I went to the crisis unit for intake, on my own,completely ready to be admitted.
Now for me that is beyond comprehension. Even t was amazed. Given that the first thing I said was if you ever mention the CU that'd be are last session. So after 3+ years I finally learned CU is actually an option for me. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

That the world is full of love.
Also, not all love is like an open fire. There is central heating love, too. __________________ Mr Ambassador, alias Ancient Plax, alias Captain Therapy, alias Big Poppa, alias Secret Spy, etc. Add that to your tattoo, Baby! |

It's really, really, really best not to trust anyone. Therapy can be very dangerous and traumatizing. Therapists lie. NEVER ever let one get close to me again. I am truly the only one who can fix me. Lots of other bad stuff.

That being vulnerable and depending a lot on someone isn't a death sentence. Actually, the opposite, though I *still* struggle to believe it sometimes, haha.

That relationships with other people are a need, not a want. I'm not selfish or bad or too dependent for needing to be in relationship with others. And they probably actually enjoy it, too.

They are just guessing and stabbing around blindly all the time.

That the people I believed I could trust were not trustworthy at all. It is still unbelievable and heartbreaking for me to come to terms with it.

That I'm forgivable, and most recently, that I'm worth taking care of myself.

Wow, I love the positive vibe in this thread!!
And for me: that even when you think you're completely rational, you can make your heart get involved... which makes life so much more interesting after all.

What I think to be true of myself is not necessarily true. Its just what my parents planted in my head.

That I am not invisible when I cry.
That my thoughts don't always come from within me but may be my parents' voices. |

I'm not so sure I've actually learned anything yet, I just see so many things I need to learn that I was never really aware of before.
I guess I have learned that hiding behind a smile and skin thick enough to rival an elephant's is no way to live. I still have no idea how to go about not hiding though...
