Dear Anita
Thank you for sharing your most inner feelings with me. I am 22 years old but probably i would be able to adjust to life and just live if my father wasn’t an alchoholic. This sickness he has took a great toll on me. I am saying this because there was a time i would beg for him to become well…but he didn’t…so i gave up. I remember thinking how much fun we could have had. He was afraid to change because he was, according to him, too old.
You don’t know until you smile again how many lives your mood will affect! That is where i want to sum up. You give me hope to keep searching for answers. I am glad you are gaining control over your self and your inner critic! I hope i will too. I am glad that i shared my feelings about my sadness with other people.
Self empathy is probably the most difficult asset one person can attain for her/his character…I think every obstacle is manageable if you are not too harsh with yourself. However just as you said,i have also putmyself down since i was a child.
Look, i already feel a little better talking with you! I know it is not permanent, that magic is not included, but i am relieved.
You say you have gone through several therapy methods. I am currently in psychodynamic psychotherapy and i like the talking approach and free accosiation (i think it is similar with dialectic therapy, as you mentioned). Hopefully i will see effects in the future, as you did…!
Take care
George
