Here is the image/sensation for me. I don't know if it will make sense to anyone else...
Have you ever made a Jack-O-Lantern? You know how you have to scoop out all of the "guts?" Sometimes you have to really scrape at the sides to get it all out. That's how my depression feels. Like someone has scooped out and scraped out my soul. And I feel sad and empty.
I've had that in my head for a long time and never even shared it with my T. I hope someone can make sense of it.
Best,
EE
