My therapist tells me that I have issues with opening up to people in my daily life, and it's causing a strain on my marriage. He suggested writing a journal, and then letting a close friend read it, and then talking about the contents with whoever I chose. So here is my new journal.
I'm kind of at a loss as to how this is supposed to let me open up more with Ed, and really, we've been married for 12 years, why is this an issue now? Unless I let Ed read it. And now that I've thought about it, I wonder if Dr. Gilmour is going to suggest that next. That would make a hell of a lot more sense than just letting Jess read it. We already talk about everything.
I think this is the most I've ever typed on this damn thing since we bought it three years ago. Even my e-mails aren't this long.
"Don't think about what you're writing, just write it down." That is a quote. Just stick every single ridiculous thought that pops into my head into Wordpad and then let people read it. Yeah, no, I don't think is a very good idea at all. Dr. Gilmour can go stick it in his ear.
