That's interesting @Former-Member. I'm not sure if I told you but I was in total shock when I realised my abandonment issues. For decades I would have argued against it but when my last psychologist really made me examine my past OMG it was so easy to see and my behaviours around them were all extreme but I couldn't see it until we worked it out. It sounds like this psychologist is really working well with you too to find an understanding of everything for you which I know will cause you distress and confusion at times.
This week I've been AWOL a fair bit from the forum putting pieces of my life together, possibly the beginning of building a new life which for me is scary and confronting and confusing trying to prioritise what needs to fit into my life now. I've tried not to overanalyse it but just go with the flow and see what happens. And for the most part it has been ok.
Keep working at it @Former-Member i know you'll feel disconnected and possibly broken at times. For now when my emotions and stress are in control I see the light at the end. Only a few weeks ago it seemed so far away and at times it was diminished. You'll begin to see the light and a path forward too at some point.
@Former-Member Hiya. I wanted to say your support today on the sleeping thread was beautiful but I didn't want to acknowledge it there as I thought today that page should just be support for her. Just one of my keeping things in boxes obsessions. So sorry your shopping trip was awful. I hope you feel better tomorrow. Some people make the world an ugly place at times.
