it's so funny, "going all the way down" is a process I hate doing and often have to be nearly forced to do by friends/my therapist, but I relate so completely to what you've written here. almost always, I do already know what I want, and I don't really care about the advice from others. it's the accepting what we know we want that's the most challenging

i feel

precisely as you do. although there is almost no one i ask about my state cause i AM willing to go all the way down painful as it is but worth the price of returning to surface. a teacher of mine calls it ‘being crucified’ on difficult feelings.

This is really beautifully articulated and I’m thankful it’s presented first as what you do rather than as advice for what someone else should do. Thanks.

Do you write when you do this?
