@lux. Thank you. Yes, I was given some of the same messages as a child. I guess they really stuck.
I was actually coming back here to reiterate what a fake I am. I guess because today hasn't been as bad as yesterday, it means yesterdays feelings weren't real? Except now you have me thinking. Recently my T asked me, if I'd say the same thing about positive feelings. If yesterday had been a good day, would I have said I was faking? No. I probably would have said I was lucky, but I would have accepted the feelings as real.
And I'm still not actually functioning well today. I was late too work (again!). I haven't managed to clean anything up and my house is not really sanitary right now (ugh, more shame). But somehow, since I'm not feeling in immediate danger of self-harm, a big part of my brain says all those issues are just laziness and I'm fine.
I see my therapist tomorrow. She canceled last week because another client was dying. I don't really want to see her. I know it will be bad if I don't but.. the joys of DID, I know if we see her, the others are going to bring up whatever is actually wrong (I legitimately don't know) and I don't want to deal with that. And yeah, I know that not dealing hasn't been working out so great either.
