I've just been going through some shit lately and don't know what to do with all of it. I haven't written in a journal for years, I don't know if I still remember how to use a pen. I don’t have money for a therapist.
The problem with talking to friends about how shitty life is, is that they’ll never say “yeah, you’re right, you fucked up” or “yeah, you’re right, you really don’t have any skills”. I don’t want a cheerleader, I want a reality check.

I'd give you one, dearie, but I don't know what you need one *about* <g>! I've used my Tribe pals for a more objective point of view, though...especially my friends from Europe, for some reason. I think that they aren't as steeped in the glad-handing stuff that we are trained to spout on command. And they don't have as much of an investment in my mood/happiness/whatever to bother with not being honest with me. It's nice : ). At any rate, I hope that you find a place or a person to bounce your thoughts off of. That's the only use I have ever had for therapists...someone to talk to whose feelings and relative objectivity you don't have to worry about as much (unlike one's best friend, or spouse, or whatever).
<big hugs>, in case that helps, too : ). |
