I wonder if there are really people like Marla and Tyler from Fight Club, who join in on meetings because they know they need some type of therapy.
Is everyone able to find some kind of therapy on their own? Is the depiction in this movie just an exaggeration of what those of us who are able to stay sane do every day? Otherwise how do we get through it? When things are rough and tough and ugly and make no sense. How do we pull through to the other side?
Is the simple admittance that you need to do something, that they way this is is just too insane to be real- is that all it takes? Is the kind words of another? Simply their ears, the idea that they've heard, that they understand?
Most of us don't need to call on the larger facets of need. Maybe it is the little things, like a singing session in the car or shower. The pleasantry of small talk. The smooth feeling of cheese cake sliding off a fork. A daily hug.
For the larger things, is that when we turn to talking? A lended hand? A professional?
But when is it too much? When do our emotions take over our body? How much do we need to suppress before our hearts explode or our minds go to the wayside- literally.
I think we need these things. We need a way to let it all out. There is no sense shouldering it alone. There is no sense holding it in- even for the sake of someone else. Sometimes they need us to be strong, but sometimes we need someone to be strong for us.
So find your way, whatever it is. Find it. Because when you need it the most, there won't be time to locate it.
