I'm still confused about therapy. I want New Guy to work out, but there are so many opinions inside that I don't know what to do. I'm tired and I'm hurting really bad. Yesterday was terrible. I dreamed that I had missed my appointment with New Guy Tuesday night. Then I realised why I dreamed it. I dreamed it because not ALL OF ME went. And the crying little part that did not go felt very left out and alone and didn't understand what was going on. I went back to sleep. I dreamed of Old Guy and I woke up crying. Then the teenage girl took over and I was forced to relive the betrayal of Old Guy and the terrible pain that still lives here. Why did he hurt me like that? How? It's because I'm bad and no one wants me. I ended up wanting New Guy. But I could not call him or email him lest I burn him out and he turn into Old Guy. I opted for the safety of my husband, but that didn't feel safe to all of me because there is the sexual element. I finally managed to go back to sleep by knocking myself unconscious with various substances. I dreamed of New Guy. I dreamed that he would truly accept me and understand what is happening inside and help me without hurting me. And then the little one cried for her mother (Old Guy). I found myself searching again for local therapists later on. I found one that sounded great and then I googled him and found his profile and reviews on Amazon only to find that he is a DBT fan. I am alone. It makes me want to die. And so I pursue chemically induced unconsciousness so I won't feel the pain.

  1. I have been up all night trying to figure stuff out. I hope you and the new guy can work together I'm not making too much sense, but I wish you the best.

  2. Thank you, Wanda. I want to work with him. I think I'm just scared sick from too much sadness and pain. I guess I'll go to sleep now. I just want to be asleep.

    I understand how confusing it is for all of the parts of you - and how hurt the little girl is and how protective the teenager is becuase of how hurt she got.
    I know how hard it is to hurt so much for what you lost, for what you never had, for what you always wanted, which is to be cared for, understood and loved. And it sux! Big time!
    It's so scary to try to "trust" because the pain always bubbles up again!

    So sorry you're hurting. I don't have any poignant words except to encourage you not to protect New Guy by not "burning" him out. He's the professional and can take care of himself.

    Sending you safe hugs if you need them.
