Was finally honest with family...

I am so proud and relieved that you told your mom! Most mom's hide there feelings about their children too. I'm sure she is fearing that you might get injured even more. She would want everyone treating you like a china doll. Now that you have opened up to her, have a long talk and let her open her heart to you. The more you share about it the closer you two will become. Counseling will make it that much easier to cope with the feelings, but mom's have the power of unconditional love. The mom's that use it get loved unconditionally in return!

Now that you got over the initial hurdle please try working on the meditation I send you in a message yesterday. It can't hurt and can help in so many ways mentally and physically.

Cheers.

P.S. My mom said you should go get your hair and nails done. She said it will help you feel better.

HUGE step forward to open up to mother, piinksugar!!!! Can only lead to deeper relationship as "adult child"--we're always kids to our moms! You have a great sense of style, so creative fashion around vent and whatever else you decide to dress up is going to succeed.

I love the way the shirt covers the vent, very stylish and YES to telling your mom
I am a mom and moms mostly want to know i think because they want to help even if the stuff is hard
You are smart and brave to be reaching out to family, strangers ( us) and also going for therapy.
Betwen the three you are already making huge headway.
Way to go!!!

Great to hear you making positive plans for dealing with your feelings piinksugar, power to you! What else is achievable that you want to do but haven't yet? I am quietly confident that you could make a list...?
