There are a bunch of things we didn’t get to cover but the broad strokes hit the mark(s). I really needed this session. It helped give me perspective and to bolster some thoughts I’d had about certain behaviors. First Therapy Session to get past shit with M

Ok. Today I got up feeling like maybe I can actually get something done. I have a couple of servers that I need to configure and ship out. I have an afternoon appointment with my psychotherapist to discuss getting past this recent traumatic event (the break up with M.) and then maybe I’ll get to…

I was a dick to M after she ended things. I’m not proud of what I did but here let’s get it all out in the open. There that’s the list of intentionally shitty things I did after she kicked me out of our home. I’ve apologized. I tried to explain to her that I…

“When are you going to trust me?” That’s what M asked me one day when I told her that I want to compliment her on her looks and tell her how sexy she is constantly but that I have an apprehension that it will come across wrong because of my alexithymia (emotional blindness). It was…

Today I discovered that the disconnect I experienced with M not only has a name but that the name is Cassandra Syndrome. Ironic to me as one of the first comments I got on my post (the poem on the autism group) said “…textbook Cassandra scenario, sorry brother…” Like, it was great finding out that…

This is a great break down of the anecdotal experience many people have with Emotional Blindness. My experience is quite different but parts of what she discusses really resonate with me. This video on the other hand brings it all home. The part where she discusses the example of two people having lunch is exactly…

For those of you who have found this place because of the poem I posted, thank you. I appreciate you stopping by. As I don’t advertise this little corner of solace. I don’t expect to see many visitors in my server logs but am pleasantly surprised when the number of visitors increases. Let’s be better…

Today I got taken off a project at work because I’ve been “…too distracted and melancholy…” I can’t blame them. I was getting the work done but communicating about it was an issue. When I go through PTS episodes I lose the ability to mask. My autistic traits become more pronounced. I do more fidgeting.…

I don’t subscribe to the idea of self hatred but I do relate the the concepts and feelings discussed therewith. I definitely relate to the feeling of being a burden and the whole acceptance complex. Part of what I’m struggling with in the breakup with M is that she told me that I was safe…
