therapy yields good fruit
in the past few weeks, more and more I am growing in awareness and cognition
that when alone I tend to want 'a relationship.'
Lately that relationship has been that I have wanted a partner but it's weird
when I don't have that partner to talk to -
and I have already reached out to friends
and family -
that urge to focus on another person or just 'something' really finds a way to manifest in
way of my moment to moment mentalizations..
whether it's a project or a memory of someone - and thinking about them...
I know this may sound incredibly normal to some but the way my illness manifest as I developed
was that I was lost in thought and didn't have the gift of understanding...
Now I am starting to understand and therapy has yielded this fruit.
I feel confident...and emboldened!
I feel like I can move onward.
We'll see what happens!
peace and have a good night!

Love your positiveness! Great job!
Great epitome, Mark. May the dots continue connecting.
Within my own social anxiety it seems that the more "Normal" or assumed a concept is, the harder it is for me to understand. The harder I work to understand ^it^, the more the understanding eludes me.
Acceptance precedes understanding.
I can't understand that 1 + 1 = 2 until simply accept that a one is a one and a two is a two. Believe it or not, that is not an instinctive understanding. I have yet to love a toddler who was born with that tidbit of knowledge.
thanks rich and arfie!
I'm glad you are doing so well and I hope you find someone when the time is right for you.
Thanks Becky!
