Unexpected reaction to my first therapy session

[keopeli]

5. For me, therapy is exhausting. It's like running a race. My body gets whooped though my mind feels

normal. It's a weird phenomenon. But, when I think about it, I realize that my depression is my mind and my body not being in sync. Everything is laborious. So, when I get my system to work as an ensemble, it's like exercising for the first time in a long time. My mind and body are spent and need a recovery day. I have to remind myself that it's okay, even good, to have recovery days and allow myself that personal time and space.

I'm so glad to hear you've jumped onto the healing train. The journey may be short or long, but the effort is cathartic and rejuvenating.

Congrats on getting some really good sleep! Hug all the little ones for your DU friends!
