and you begin to see that progress isn't always about feeling good or being told what you'd love to hear, its about facing ALL of the emotions and situations in life as they are. It feels like a letting go of the long held fantasys and being struck suddenly my revelations that you think will kill you but then you feel strong enought inside now to deal with this breaking down of the infantile thinking..It feels like I am in my feelings now and not looking at them through a glass wall. I feel like I have all these little people inside of me doing press-ups and knowing that each time I am hit with pain, I am now strenghting my inner world muscles and KNOW THIS NOW, before I had no understanding of inner strenght, no experience of it only of falling apart now its like a cycle, fall apart and then re-build...no more luxury of playing "victim" and having the fantasy that I will be taken care off, I realise I'm an adult along with all the other adults in the world...
DISCLAIMER... I use "victim" because this is my view of my experiences and am no responsible for how others read this post.

Growth... good, scary, good, scary, good... You are so articulate when you speak of your growth, your therapy, your feelings and struggles. </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font> no more luxury of playing "victim" and having the fantasy that I will be taken care off, I realise I'm an adult along with all the other adults in the world... </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> I *know* it, but I can't let go of it yet. |

I feel that in my life I have been very adult and very strong. But the last years, things have been tough and I kind of starting falling apart, very gradually. In therapy, I have recognized I am really not so strong and it is OK to admit that I need help sometimes. In a way, therapy has been somewhat infantilizing, as it has allowed me to not be the strong adult all the time, and give voice to my fears and wants and needs. It's been a positive for me, but I can't dwell there forever. I have to start building things back up and being a true adult instead of a pseudo-adult, who was just hiding everything inside and projecting strength to the world. Now I really want to be strong instead of just a facsimile. good post good thread
