Things have been better since we finished our therapy. I was admittedly a difficult client in the beginning I was cruel and rude towards our psychiatrist. Sam helped get me past the first part of opening up, a step I never took when I went to my mandatory therapy. When I went to that therapy I did the same thing but instead of pressing forward my therapist gave up.
I dislike asking for help, that just seems to be apart of the many issues I struggle with. I never would have gone if Sam hadn't made me going apart of the deal for her to go. I seriously considered just calling the therapist that was recommended to me by Doctor Raynor (apparently Bucky's old therapist) and not going myself regardless. I couldn't do it though Sam trusts me and that's something precious these days. I realize now why I felt that way I was afraid, afraid to let anyone see behind the illusion I'd made.
Since we've gotten help, I've found myself less bitter and angry. My violent tendencies have become a bit less prevalent though I still find myself getting carried away sometimes. Sam keeps me from finding myself in too much trouble. I used to get into trouble a lot for overdoing it on missions but now it's less of a problem.
Sam's a lot braver she still has an innate fear of men but she speaks more in public spaces now. Though I didn't know her before all of this I think she's even more herself now than she was before therapy. We still haven't done anything her experience with the man from her past set us back. She didn't want that kind of physical contact for nearly a month after.
When she started to again we started again from square one. If there's anything worth being patient for it's this. I will give her as long as she needs. I will not push her to do anything before she's comfortable with it. She's too precious to me.
Stark and Barton have been more welcoming to me since they learned of Sam's relationship with me. I think she somehow makes me seem more approachable. Part of me hates it, that's the part of me that's scared of the possibility of their rejection later down the line, and the part of me that feels superior to them because they're mortals. A bigger part of me is excited at the prospect of being accepted into the group in this capacity.
Is it foolishness to seek companionship from these beings? Perhaps, but what's wrong with a little foolishness? Thor seems to get along fine.
