My special place

that makes a lot of sense, i do find writing feelings/thoughts out is easier than saying them out loud. i know you've been struggling with being honest to your psych about where you're at, so this is really big step @Snowie regardless of the outcome, i hope you can see how much courage you've shown in sending that to her.

great to hear you're safe and reaching out. glad the podcast is helping! is this the body scan by Dr Lisa Ciechomski that you mentioned last time or a different one?

I'm so stupid and such a chicken. I didn't end up emailing my psych and didn't end up giving her the letter today.

Hey @Snowie, it's a really scary thing to do. Just writing a letter or an email takes courage!

Just because you weren't able to send the email or give the letter today doesn't mean that you won't be able to in the future, maybe it'll take a few tries to do it and that's okay.

I feel so pathetic @Ru-bee

I just keep going on about this stupid letter. Threw it away

That doesn’t make you stupid @Snowie You at least wrote your thoughts down. Thats cathartic in itself.

Do you have anything else on today?

Havent got anything on @Eve7

@Eve7 definitely agree with you there, just that act of articulating our inner thoughts and feelings can be helpful and provide a bit of relief.

And @Snowie throwing out the letter is okay too, there have been times when I have written all of my feelings out into a letter only to rip it up (or safely burn it when I'm feeling more dramatic).

Aside from this, I hope your appointment was good

Appt. was ok @Ru-bee Got through a few things, but not the important topics.

Sometimes it just feels like you stir the pot and thats it

Yeah I hear you @Snowie, some sessions really feel like progress was made, and others feel more like the one you had today - just alright. But I guess it's good to remember that progress is still happening in those less eventful appts.

Do you have anything planned for this week, or over the weekend?
