For some reason I must be keeping suppressed, yesterday's therapy session really kicked my butt

I came home, got the back lot mowed and then fell asleep. I even wondered if I should mow because I felt so exhausted.

And still today I'm not back up to speed. It kind of feels like a 'Sword of Damocles' is hanging lower, over my head. I'll probably just hang out with the kidcats, all day. They are a great distraction.

So I really do wonder if there is some suppressed memory trying to break free. Which, I admit, kind of worries me.

What I've been pushing myself through this week. I have no real ambition but manage to force myself into action. Going hiking didn't help, just made my back hurt more. I don't even feel like cooking anything to eat, no energy. Granted it's been super smoky here since Tuesday and that puts a damper on many activities and can weigh you down after a day or so.

Feels like I decided to become a three pack a day smoker over night.

Are you doing journaling after your nap about your sessions? I did that and the things that came up were often discussed in the next session.

28 years ago, that happened to me, when the memory broke free. Big hugs to you. You can handle this. I'm so grateful for my psychiatrist and therapist.
