In reply to Daisy--how are you today?, posted by antigua3 on July 19, 2007, at 10:42:28
Today I am subdued and sad. I feel kind of devastated and drained. Last night I found myself wishing I could undo part of my post, telling so much about myself...what must everyone think?
I so appreciate the support and kind replies. If I can help, of course I want to. It hurt to read how many here have the same or similiar experiences. And it feels really good to be known well enough to be reminded to take care of myself with things like COW. It is a gift really, to have this space to express distress and receive comfort and care. I've never had it before.
We talked about posting in therapy today and why I needed to share and how awesome the replies are. My therapist is just so impressed with how we help each other here, and he thinks it is great practice for me to show my vulnerable side.
I did check in with him about how he is feeling about hearing my stories and he said he is OK. He said again that we are doing good work and necessary work. He made a point to say that the way we are working is really important and he wouldn't have it any other way. I am relieved about that.
I don't have the words to reply to everyone right now but I wanted you all to know that I'm reading (and rereading) everything you all wrote. I'm so touched and I feel your support and caring. Thank you.
