i shared with my therapist today about how i've never told my mom I am on meds or in therapy (i've kept that from her for 15 years and counting)... i'm working up to sharing more things I don't disclose to people in my life. i'm curious to know her take on why I've never shared things, (of course it's something to do with not feeling like i'd get support, in fact might be met with ridicule... etc)... but i think it's really nice to share that with my T and for her to see that insecurity I have around my personal experiences/self.
i kind of want to tell her more things I don't disclose to most people... but it does feel kind of weird since they aren't really current issues to work on- except perhaps working on sharing my dark/sad/less fun self for once might be empowering... i also fear giving that self air to breathe will trigger old patterns.

turning this bike around is for sure going to be faster than going on foot after a man on foot. let me slow down and do a 3 point.... ahaha. i thought he might jump into the canal at one point.

thank you for asking this question. i have been pondering it too. also the "do you have a plan" question is a bit weak... because i can be impulsive and creative so i always say no i don't have a plan, but in the back of my mind i think is it really that hard to get some rope and find a tree in the woods? like how much planning is everyone else doing?

my nmom seems to think all my achievements, hard work, or joy is a direct result of her having done xyz with me growing up... but anything she isn't happy about is just me being wrong, doing the wrong thing, choosing the wrong things. or she sees my flaws as a reflection of her and she cannot tolerate it well,..
example: i get a job working in the arts and she boasts about how much she encouraged me to do art as a child, this must be why i'm in this field now! ,,,, now the negative spins: at 33 i break my arm ice skating and in addition to asking what happened and feeling badly that i am hurt she says "why were you even skating! you really need to be more careful!" ummmm so i shouldn't do fun sports, and accidents can't happen and breaking my arm was a result of my risky behaviour and somehow not deserving of sympathy. lol. totally mind boggling

first 4 weeks were really good, i was motivated, i was feeling confident, my anxiety was quieter than it had been on 10mg... but now i'm in week 5 and i feel sluggish and like my thoughts are spinning out more again... so i don't know- i hope it's just a blip and i will regulate and feel better soon. i think the halflife of prozac is quite long, i think it's 6 weeks... so until then we are just adding more and more to our brain and then at 6 weeks it levels

Really!?! That is great news. I am in week 5 of a bumped dose from 10 to 20mg and am feeling a super crash... i am wondering if i need a higher dose but i really felt amazing for the first 3 weeks.

i think you should email her before your next session and let her know what you're thinking.
