There's a lot going on that I want to talk about, but for right now, I will confine myself to mentioning that I had a really good therapy session today, in which, I kid you not, I quoted Ces's Eight Sessions and it worked as a way to express myself; my therapist and I decided that I have accopmplished one of the primary goals I had when I began therapy, namely, becoming informed and comfortable with my decision to cut my biological father out of my life. Now, I think that if and when I accomplish scholarly life in the coming months, I will be capable of functioning without the need for constant emotional tacking, as performed in weekly sessions.

I don't think that I'm ever going to be 'cured,' of course — I have dysthymia, this is a chronic condition, but I am not in a state of crisis the way I have been for the last few years.
