My therapist when I try to bring in a whole bunch of distorted thinking and shit:
Me:
When my therapist says wise things I’m like:
Confirming appointments like
Me: *tries to compartmentalize my emotions*
My emotions:
When I say something really twisted and my therapist gives me That Look™
I’m like
Therapist: *calls out my negative core beliefs*
Me:
Therapist: *points out that I seem anxious*
Me:
Me to insurance: “I need this treatment in order to survive”
Insurance:
Writing about my mental illness like
Me to my therapist as we start trauma work:
My therapist trying to teach me mindfulness:
Me:
My therapist: *asks me to open up and be vulnerable*
Me:
Safety planning
Me: “I’ll be safe”
Therapist: “Okay so what is your plan for tonight?”
Me:
Me: *wants to live*
Mental illness:
Me: *desperatly wants a secure attachment*
A secure attachment: *starts happening*
Me:
Therapist: “So you’re going to solve your abandonment issues by… abandoning people first?”
Me:
The fact that I can’t remember like 90% of my childhood sometimes makes me wonder if I’ve ever even been a child. Maybe I haven’t and the blurry 10% I believe to remember are just random pictures and szenarios I made up to convince myself that I once was a child.
Everything’s nice and I’m feeling fine, then out of nothing I’m losing my mind. I thought I’ve left the darkness behind. It ran after me, turns out I’m easy to find.
