Writing is cheaper than therapy or drugs.

So much truth in this article. I started my blog as self therapy because I could not afford a therapist and by treating it as a sort of online journal, I think I’ve learned more about myself and my abusers in the past 3 months than I did in any time I ever spent in therapy. I’ve also rediscovered my love of writing and realized I haven’t lost my ability or ambition to turn this into something more. Finally I feel like I have goals in life again, I’m no longer one of the walking dead, and this article nails that feeling, so I’m reblogging it.

    Therapy and pills well, I have everything fully covered now, and I take none of it, none. This is better.

    • I agree with you that some types of therapy probably can hurt more than help. Exposure therapy sounds like hell and is probably traumatic for some people.
