Spoke With Therapist About "failing"

[xena21]

I have been so overwhelmed lately due to many things...life in general, and the loss of my dog. I asked my therapist why I am not feeling better at all and all I think about is dying every day. I have been so frustrated with therapy and going on with life. My therapist told me that they were the ones that had the hope for me (meaning my treatment team). I was lost, but my therapists held the hope that I couldn't see. They were the ones that saw me moving forward in life.

It frustrated me to hear this because I wanted to see the hope myself. Why could someone else see me surviving but I couldn't? It is crazy to think others can see things for you and you are oblivious to what they see. Anyway, I just want to say I do hope there is a positive in the future.

Oh, I am sorry about your dog, I know how heartbreaking that can be....someone once told me that their passing is sad but it makes way for another critter to be so lucky to find (you). It helps me to think of it that way.

I feel the same way, lost these days, life feels surreal and I'm wandering around aimlessly. Where did "me" go?
