I had an interesting B.I.T last week (Breakthrough In Therapy) in which I realized that I sincerely believe that there are people out in the world who not only hate me and who are actively plotting ways to try to hurt me. While I'm sure there are people who don't particularly care for me, my fantasy is that these people are driven by a hate so powerful that they are willing to pass hours, days, weeks of their lives working on a campaign to destroy my credibility throughout the world in order to make my life as miserable as humanly possible. And try as I may to prove otherwise, there is such a substantial grain of truth in their story that I may as well accept that my efforts are futile and that I should resign myself to a life cooped up in my apartment eating frozen chow mein from Trader Joe's (although, I will cook it) and watching Sex and the City re-runs while snuggling up to my cat.
Just for today, I can have breakthroughs in therapy.

I also believe that my life is being actively sabataged, but I think of it as the world collectively rather than individual people.

I was referring metaphorically to the three-legged feline that I will someday get.
