So another week in therapy. We focused on the word trust today and I said I want to start trusting others but my therapist says I need to trust myself first. How do I recognize that I trust myself? Such a loaded question.

MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don’t want to be too graphic, here, but: Have you ever seen a space shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet.

‘Nuff said.

Do you harm yourself? Do you do things you feel like you shouldn't? Do you trust your instincts? Ask yourself a bunch of questions like these. I hope this helps.

Time alone is never a waste, it's an investment. Seemed like what your self needed is sleep. Thank your body I guess for allowing you that.
 
Just got done with therapy. It was tough today. I was back in person. I just seem to connect more with my thoughts and feelings when I see her in person. I needed help grounding before I left today. Ugh trying to relax now and keep my mind off things. Been a tough week mentally for me.
Therapy over the phone!! And even with those dam masks just doesn’t work for me no true connection.
