my therapist has adviced to imagine my feelings as characters, personify them in some way and it has honestly helped a lot with processing my emotions. sometimes i feel something unpleasant or difficult to cope with, but then i think of it as a character im sharing space with, and dialogue with it in my head. it makes it easier to figure out what to do about them or just ignore them. it's also kind of fun.

i've been having a lot of weird nightmares lately. i don't know what's causing them, but they all come with this similar feeling of anxiety. it's not super distressing or overwhelming, it just gives me this sensation that something is wrong. someone suggested i discuss it with my therapist, however i have loads of mental health issues, and limited time to discuss things with her, so i do have to decide which things to prioritize. the nightmares are weird, but ultimately they do not cause me major distress and i am still having normal dreams. so unless it worsens, i'm comfortable with it staying like this, and don't think i need my therapist's help.

other than that, i've been feeling kind of good about things lately. i don't know, i just get the feeling things will be alright despite everything. i like when i get those moments of optimism. they aren't super common, but they feel good.
