Why I'm Here

My therapist has been nagging me to attend group therapy, but I have been very resistant to go. Probably because I am afraid it will help me. I'm afraid of what else I will discover about myself and I'm afraid of letting go of all the crap I've done such a great job of holding on to the last 37 years.

My therapist has also told me I should write. Is there a therapist that DOESN'T rccommend writing??? But, I hate writing. Writing scares me. It scares me because I'm afraid I'm not going to say something grammatcally correct or not use puntuation properly. Oh the pressure!

So, I've started this blog as a form of group therapy and to get myself writing. It is my hope that I can share my insights and gain the insights of others.

    You are awesome. I am in a similar place, and hope that we both get where ever it is we are supposed to be going. The journey is always more interesting with more companions. Hopefully in a good way.

  2. Ah, never thought about the fear of being helped. In a lot of ways, I like who I am and afraid of anything that will change that.

  3. Some of it for me is fear of the unknown. I won't know what to donwith myself if I'm not freaking out about something.
