therapy.

i went to a therapy session. my mom just dropped me off at the office and left.

when i walked in, the receptionist asked where my mom was. i told them she had a meeting at school for my younger sister.

i don't have a younger sister. i didn't want the lady here to know how worthless i was to my mom.

i think my mom plays a big role in all this. she's always put me down. it makes it hard to get back up.

i went in to see the therapist lady, and her name was dr. wood. she was really nice.

she asked if i talked to anyone about my "feelings" and i said no.

she asked if i wrote them down, and i told her about this diary. she said it was good that i wrote it down.

she asked if my writings tended to be more positive or negative, to which i replied the latter.

she suggested i try to write about the things i do like about myself. i'm going to try my best.
