I had a tough session in group therapy today. One of the women talked about having been given electroshock treatment, and she started crying talking about how it made her lose memory.
Now, I'm something of an emotional resonator - when someone I'm near is upset, I start feeling it too, but what happened next was much worse.
I started having flashbacks.
By the time I got home, I was no longer able to fight off tears, and wished I had someone to hold me while I shook.
Ah, well.

I am much the same way
When I am emotionally hurting or not feeling well, I cannot shield, so going out becomes nearly impossible for me. I am hoping that will improve as I learn who I am. Before Cassie, I was no one, just an empty shell, so I did not have a way to filter out what was not mine.
I wish there was a way to send real hugs. Being loved does not really help much when I am all alone in my bedroom.
Love & Light,
Cassie Ellen
