I did like the therapist, and she liked me. She led some groups I was in. I've never been good at therapy outside of short-term or group. The continued honesty is wearing. I started this particular journey this time with the desire to do it differently so as to get a different outcome though.
I like the part about (by Caraher) about the big picture being the depression and maybe not looking at it. I've called it a default mind set before. We can get lost in our moments and forget the big picture (such as realizations from the past), but maybe we can also get lost in the big picture and lose our moments.
All self injury is self injury. hitting things (not others) is self injury and no damage just means we can go farther next time. I hadn't hurt myself for a good period of time before that. I have to struggle when something goes wrong. If not immediately, then later in processing. If I'm aware I'm feeling it, it becomes a choice -right or wrong. When it just happens, it's a sign I've given up too much choice in my reactions.
oh well, bedtime.
