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!

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.
