I wish there was something I could do to help ready it...exercise, eating well, etc, just something to make it stronger for when the time to recognize my feelings has come. I have actually been able to do it before for a brief time but was unable to keep it up unfortunately and I can't remember...
Yeah, I'd say so. A lot of the time while i was being abused I hadn't really felt anything. The thoughts of "I don't care that this is happening." and "This isn't ACTUALLY happening." Would sort of replace any feelings I would have or should have gotten. Now it's just kind of...well, I don't...
Basically, I have been having this problem where my emotions go by in in my head at the speed of light and it makes it very hard to do any kind of therapy if you can't tell your T how you're feeling. I've been attempting mindfulness for over a year now but i don't think it's working very well so...

I struggle to see how work and school are different. You have to get up everyday at the exact same time, you do the exact same thing every day, you have a lot of responsibilities, you have to deal with people and pressure and to me it's the same thing...the thing is with work is, I can't leave...
