talking to dawn earlier, i really lost my composure.  i cried.  and cried and cried for the better part of an hour.  put myself together long enough to walk out the door, along the sidewalk, and down to a picnic table under some trees around the side of the building to sit and wait for sheila to pick me up

Hugs.

Who is Dawn? A therapist?

I tend to hold painful/emotional things in check far too long so that by the time they escape, I need three days to recover. It can be so painful and exhausting. An understatement.

Take care of yourself, sweets.

Thanks for the response to the AA post. (And that link!) I so agree with everything you said. I'll respond more fully when I have more time. Right now, I gotta dash to the grocery store before it's a zoo.

More hugs.

thanks, you.
yeah, dawn is my therapist of 7 yrs. it took me almost 2 yrs before i even cried in front of her at all. and still, it's usually rare. so i can really relate to holding things in too long. i can count on two hands the major crises in my life that i have yet to acknowledge/process at all.
anyway, glad my response was helpful to you :)

I know what you mean. :( I hope Thursday is at least little lighter on you. And hopefully getting it all out will eventually help, even if it's draining and shitty. :/

yeah, that's my major motivation to keep going. there has to be an end to it somewhere, and i know i will be so much healthier for having gone all the way through.
