Venting I guess

I dont' know why but is am very frustrated today, i don't know if it is cause i am bored or if I have actually been awake most of the day. I just am frustrated. I have been doing my best to not think about things from yesterday in therapy to much but as usual I feel it overwhelming. It's like a never ending battle to feel comfortable in my own skin. I know dealing with abuse doesn't happen in one session but yesterday went so well I though I would be able to work off that high at least until the weekend. I am trying really hard to think of healthy coping skills but I am stuck because everything I know to do either will make things worse or is not working. So now I am frustrated because I can't do anything with what I feel inside. I just want to curl up and disappear for a while. be off in an area that no one can hurt me or anything. I have an area like that in my mind but I can't stay there for long anymore, I try but my minds ends up going back to the bad places. Anyways like I said just venting. I can't journal for while so this is all I have for now.

Hi Violeteyestwo, it seems that after such an intense therapy you can go through a wave of emotions, where you can feel like you're on such a high at one moment and then a low the next moment. I think that it's key to allow yourself to go through the waves of emotions, as it's part of the healing process.
