Therapy

To anyone listening,

I don't know why I got so heated thinking about this but it needs to be said.  I have gone to therapy at a young age and can practically tell you why I feel everything I feel dating back to birth and the rest, well I'm on bipolar meds for the rest.  I'm not embarrassed for saying it either.  I'm actually proud that I took the steps to want to cure myself.. my mood swings.. and my family issues.

That being said, why is it that everyone is so quick to say I need therapy when I am verbal about an issue?  Is it a person that needs therapy or the one that holds everything in that needs it too?  I would rather be open and honest about my feelings to a healthy degree then to be in a silent denial and act like everything is fine or hide behind technology like an email.  I just don't understand that.  Honestly I understand my behavior more than that behavior.  I think it is harder to be honest and open about your feelings and weaker to hide it.  Don't get me wrong, there is a right way and wrong way in doing it, hence my bipolar meds but I WANT to get better and for some reason that makes me the crazy one?  Just because someone shares emotions or honestly faces issues face to face does not mean they need therapy.  I should be able to go to my friends with an issue without "maybe you should try a therapist."  I can see that in extreme situations but I would not turn down a friend by saying that when they come to me with issues.  I want love from people and not for them to reject me by pushing me to  stranger.

Everyone needs to decide, are they holding it in or letting it out?  Who is the one who really needs therapy? Both?

Because

  To whoever is listening:   So, here we are. Another day and a new pain. My neck this time. Sometimes I think about how different my life was before 2015. It was so much better. I was able to help both physically and financially. I was able to do things without pain. Oh to wake up in the middle of the night hoping it isn't pain that woke you.   Sometimes I see glimpses of hope in all aspects of myself. I've learned to appreciate some people more and I'm learning to shut my mouth more and more hence this blog where I just talk. Ironic isn't it?   I have an amazing husband. No one would ever take care of me the way he does. He loves me and works very very hard.    I look around the house and realize just how much crap I own and drawers to go through, closets to throw things out of, and then I look at a life that's lived. I'm not saying without stuff you haven't lived. I'm saying that for me, each thing was a time in my life, a memory, dreams, loves, and s...

Lies

 To whoever is listening:   I'm trying to figure out what are truths and what are lies... for myself, from others, for those I love. It is a painful thing to watch someone who means the world to you get lost in lies and destruction. I am not one to smile all of the time. I am one who has a sensitive heart. I am one who has hope in others but none in herself. I think about it but haven't given up. Please don't give in.. we can do this together Let me in or let yourself out I can't stop pain but with all the love I have, I would want nothing more then to take all of yours away. All of the hate, the anger, the lashing out, the pain I go through, all of it to see you happy. If only I knew what to say I know you won't talk to me but it doesn't hurt to talk to someone Please just know that when I look in your eyes, I see someone I truly love I'm hurting. It does make me want to give up sometimes. Raise my hands to the sky and say, "If this is what you want li...

 To whoever is listening: I just spent the last 2 hours crying. Not only from the pain. There are 3 things I hate when people say them to me: fat, ugly, annoying. I don't know what my next step is but I have to make one.
