I'm so itchy. I can now say that I truly empathize with my mother's dog. So, my rash is a stress related occurrence, and thanks to some breakthroughs in therapy, which include acknowledging the various walls continue run into like a lunatic in an asylum ( yes my mental walls are padded), the rash is back. Actually this coincides with breakthroughs in M's therapy, the stress level has been through the roof. Both of us are happy, then sad, then angry, then content, then happy, etc. Every repressed emotion is being dredged up, and we are always together, so we both get to bear the brunt of each other's... therapeutic breakdowns. We get to be there for the rebuilding, too. It's very strange, not in a bad way, to watch someone's reality change. Not in the sociopath kind of way, but that a lot of bad things lose their power over in another's life. You can almost see it slip away...
But, in the grand scheme of things, is good mental health really worth a having an itchy rash for a few days?
