I've got issues. Who doesn't? But it's getting increasingly difficult to find the light out of the tunnel that is my brain and I need to get rid of some of the torments taking up residence. Before I go buy a ticket to the funny farm, I'm giving this a shot. I welcome all who want to come along for the ride. Only one rule on this trip -- be kind to your fellow passengers. I'm sure we're all judging ourselves harder than we should already, so let's stick with encouragement, k?

2nd verse, same as the first?
Second therapy visit tomorrow and I wonder how it will play out. I feel like I dumped so much on this poor unsuspecting woman the first time that she may want to take the lead on this one. She wants to delve into my past, but I find the more I try to remember things, the harder it is to really know if the memories I'm giving her are true or just what I feel now. How can I answer a question about how something made me feel 25 years ago without letting my present feelings get jumbled up in the process? Sure wish I had total recall and could really feel strongly about the information I'm sharing. And why is my memory so bad these days? I've been taking vitamins, trying to exercise my brain with memory tests, etc. but I have lost so much already and am only approaching mid-30s!?! So this worry leads me to the ultimate fear of dementia and Alzheimer's, which my grandmother and great-grandmother both had, but in varying forms. And that's just what I need is something else to worry about. I'm starting to gather that each thing I try to lay to rest in therapy is just going to open up something new to explore. These therapists really know what they're doing -- they getcha for life!
