I've started therapy again. It's been about 7 years since I've done any intensive work on myself, and it shows...especially in my writing. What I mistook for lack of "the right words" or talent is actually pretty severe depression that has hijacked my brain, allowing only the most basic of day-to-day operations. This, of course, excludes creative thinking of any kind and doing anything good for myself. So, I'm back on the couch, Mondays at 5. I like my therapist so far, and hope to clear the mush and cobwebs from my brain quite soon.
In the meantime, I just have to keep writing. Even if it's crap, even if it lacks emotional connection: a problem which has spilled into every aspect of my life and onto the page. I'm in there, somewhere, and I'm working my way back.
Proud of you. You'll get there, because you are amazing. xo
