Hi ,I just wanted to outlet some thoughts since I’ve started therapy recently. I’ve had it before but this time is different for me. I feel more open and ready to talk properly about things. It took a while but it’s better than never. It actually feels really nice. It’s super emotional for me but I’m just hoping I can keep going with the progress. But I’m starting to realise more that helping myself means some harsher, more negative emotions and feelings are going to arise first. Listening to what people had in response to my home life post really helped me see this ; my mum’s feelings may be hurt initially but for me , it’s the first step in helping her understand her hoarding and helping me combat my own thoughts and mental health. I still feel quite alone often but it’s a start
