What Is Normal?

Thank you everyone for your words of wisdom. Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I needed a break.

I am still seeing the same counselor. She is great and explains everything to me. A big lesson I have learned (which may seem obvious to some) is all my feelings are valid. If I'm happy there is a reason, if I'm having a panic attack there is a reason. This helps when I doubt myself.

I ended up not taking fmla and just pushing through ... Somehow.

I got demoted right after my last post but I am being promoted again soon.

I am back together with my ex that I mentioned above (falling in love with and breaking up over an arguement). He has his own issues but he really has stepped up. He has told me that he knows he can never make up for hurting me when he broke up with me the first time but he's going to do everything in his power to do so..and he has kept his word. I have struggles with the relationship but I know a lot has to do with emdr and the fear of abandonment. I just think I am not used to a relationship (romantic or any other kind of relationship) going do well that I fear any second something will go wrong. Everyone has said that they really believe he is in it for the long run...even my T. (he actually went with me to a session, which was a big deal to me).

All in all things are well it's just about healing now. I can't see the light at the end yet but I know it's there.

Thanks again. This forum has helped me so much.
