I've only gone twice, but I'm already doubting that this will help me.
My therapist wants me to imagine putting my problems in a jar and locking the jar, then imagining being in a relaxing place. And when I go out by myself, I have to pretend like my sister is with me and that's supposed to make me feel more relaxed. Um, NO!! I've tried that already! I just feel like these are lame techniques that I could find in a self-help book. That's why I gave up on self-help books; because they don't help me. I've tried so many techniques with my "imagination," and they didn't work then so why would they now?
Gosh, I just wanted to cry on the way home because sometimes I feel like this is a life sentence I'll never get out of.
I'm gonna have to force myself to be optimistic and keep an open mind. I just needed to vent to get that out of my system.
