So many feelings after our session today. After I mentioned feeling like a failure for leaving my job because I couls not longer handle the stress, your comment was spot on.
Telling me that I find my value in what I do or accomplish rather than who I am hit hard. You were so right and it hurts. How do I change that? The after spending the session dealing with the anticipitory grief of saying goodbye to people I have work with for so.many years, it really hit home. We talked about next week being the start of the final goodbyes with people. A few hours later ( a half hour before the end of my work day) I realized today was the final day with one coworker I am especially close to...um I wasn't ready foe that. __________________ |

The urgent art-making happened today.
I'll probably muck around with it a little before sharing it, though. Or maybe it's finished...I don't know yet. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

If you don't know the answer, I would rather that you said you didn't know. Repeating yourself, waffling, and stumbling is irritating and a bit de-stabilising. It's fine to not know something, it doesn't make you stupid. You have plenty of other things which do that.

I went out to lunch yesterday and breakfast today. Lunch was hard physically since my stomach was feeling weird. But then I randomly decided on a place. Breakfast today was easy. I woke up and for sure wanted to go out to a particular place. Neither place caused me much anxiety though. I hope you'll be impressed when we talk about it on Monday.

that was a tough but good session today. one good thing that came out of it, it's very clear to me now the root of my codependency. you know me, i always have to know the 'why' about things so i'm glad to have figured that out at least.

I wish we'd had more time with it yesterday. Last edited by ArtieTheSequal; Jun 03, 2023 at 11:00 AM.. |

I made another version of the artwork that I am very happy with.
I think you'll appreciate the piece, and it feels weirdly right to have new art to share with you on that day. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

...and I'm confused. I don't recall ever mentioning IFS to you. Huh. If you have me confused with somebody else, that'll be my bye-bye sign right there.

You signed your email with a heart emoji which I thought was nice. At this point I think I'm ok to do in person. I'll see how I am in the morning though.

Dear T,
My parents just continue to give me plenty of material for sessions. I apologize in advance if your head explodes when I tell you the karate camp thing. Don't know if I should test again in the morning to be safe. I'm sure you'd say it's unnecessary, and I want to just trust my test from this afternoon. But I guess I should tomorrow again to be sure? Because I love you and all (and won't be meeting you outside like I did my parents). Love, LT |

Dear T Thank you for taking the time to learn about my struggles with living with DID. We feel very validated by you accepting us as individuals. It means so much to us.

Ot sucks, but one of my therapists (i am inpatient) said to me today when I expressed regret for all the things I’ve lost. She told me that if I look at life constantly in to the rear view mirror, then of course life will pass me by. You are missing being in the present moment. I don’t know, i rambled, sorry! |

L, gosh I am just so very grateful that you brought up the codependency thing again! You must have some spidey-sense or something that told you I was ready for it this time. This evening's meeting was so helpful.

Thank you so much for sitting 'in it' with me today.
Taking the rest of today one moment at a time, trying to afford myself some of the grace Steve so often spoke about.

I really don't want to meet today. I want to sleep. I'm very tired and I'm coughing and hacking up phelgm and I don't see how today would be productive. But you have that super strict cancelation policy. Just know that if I'm not doing my best its me whos the one with the issue.
