Could it really be so simple? I saw a therapist yesterday and she made a lot of sense. I was half expecting a drug pusher or a total flake. Somewhere in between fell this woman. She started really taking notes in the beginning and I guess when she missed buzz words like “cut myself” or “thoughts of suicide” she realized I wasn’t as depressed as a lot of people. She very quickly cut through the crap that we all wear as a shield.

It didn’t take her long to determine I am an approval seeker and I tend to internalize things. I was pretty impressed by that. So she is going to work with me to help build my confidence and most importantly to help me get over being so very sensitive to everything. While you can not change the essence of who you are, you can get tools that help you cope with your weaknesses and monopolize on your strengths.

The hardest thing she asked me to do was cut sugar and white flour. I’m beginning to realize I’m an addict. I suspect I’m not alone.
