Examining Feelings Probably Helps

I had another good head shrinking today. See below.

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 2, depends on position
-Tingles: 0
-Dysesthetic pain: 1
-Paresthesias: 0
-Numbness: 1
-Vision: 1
-Nerve pain: 3
-Hearing: 1, and I think it is from the fan I sometimes use at night. Darn it.

Motor:
-Walking: 6 to 2, VERY stiff when I woke up, barely able to walk. But I loosened up and mostly dealt with weakness after that.
-Sore muscles: 2, definitely the tendons, especially around my knees
-Fine motor: 1
-Weak muscles: 5
-Spasticity: 4

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 1
-Memory: 0
-Attention: 0
-Confusion: 1

General:
-Fatigue: 2, but I did very little moving today. Worked on my laptop.. went to the shrink.. went to a little organic grocer.. back home and working on my laptop the rest of the day.
-Balance: 1
-Sleep: 3, woke up a few times but went back to sleep. Yeah! Crying my little heart out yesterday worked.
-Bladder: 0
-Proprioception: 1

Emotions: Funny, although I think that counseling sessions are helping me, I sort of do not want to go. I want to go, but I don't, you know? I think it is because in the last two sessions we have gotten deeper inside me. It is uncomfortable. It makes me feel vulnerable, which I do not like. But I have felt stronger and calmer after the last few sessions, so it does help. It gives me things to think about. I have thoughts and insights during therapy that really do not come to me on my own. On my own I just cry until I am exhausted and empty. Not that I do not cry during therapy. ;)
