Dear Mum

Less than one minute read time.
I woke up crying today. OH asked me a simple question and I cried some more. My first thought every morning is 'she's dead, oh my god'. He thinks i should talk to someone. I cant see the point. Is not going to change things, is it? You will still be dead, and I will still be here. Perhaps I am being pessimistic. Should I try it? Perhaps its the NLP training in me, i know the flaws of the counselling model. I know that all they will do is sit while I babble on and are presuming I have some problem that needs fixing. How can you fix this? You're dead, gone and that cannot be fixed. Not now, not ever.

  • Hi I guess no one can change it no one can fix it but perhaps what they can do is listen and support you while you try to find your way through it.Its difficult to be on the receiving end of therapy when you are or have been a therapist but sometimes even knowing the faults or the ins and outs of a therapy doesn't mean it can't be helpful.Also having the "right therapist" You ask "should I try it" well perhaps by asking the question there is the answer.It can't hurt to try it may even help.

    Perhaps. I'm not sure that I am red for talking though. Not with a stranger counsellor who really has no idea how I feel, you know? I could do with a support group or something.
