[QUOTE="Renly, post: 1773673, member: 51261"] This is what I've been talking to my T about. This is hard for me, although I am trying to befriend my SI. Right now, I am angry an frustrated at my SI - it is something relatively new I am struggling with (instead of just repressing or numbing) and it is triggered by (IMO) the dumbest things - I realize the surface triggers or stressors aren't the real issue, but it's what is immediately in front of me. I hate feeling like "oh, you made 1 error on this document - life is no longer worth living just go die." Which has been pretty a pretty consistent feeling across the last few months. Part of my therapy is growing my support system. You are right here! I need to ask for support more specifically and not expect it from whoever i ask because that is unrealistic. THIS really made me think. I guess I didn't really when I was asking - maybe just some sympathy or for someone to say "wow that does suck." But I didn't communicate what I was looking for when I brought it up - so that is my bad. This is great advice. I have not shared with many people, maybe 4 or 5 - just those close to me/those I am hoping to be in my support system. This is what I am learning. Love the analogy. I am just not sure who has played the game and I guess I found out the hard way. [/QUOTE]
