I Feel in Pictures, visual thinking

Or rather, I can tell you how I'm feeling in metaphor. Today, as an example, it feels like "there are so many doors, and all the windows are locked." (The doors are consecutive, one right after the other....like my therapists office...four entire doors to push from office to out)


 Meaning...I'm feeling kinda trapped and to make any progress will be arduous.
 Therapy today, was soft. Still not sure what that one means.
I see pictures in my head, of objects that represent my feelings, emotional state, subconscious and conscious. Some people can flat out tell you how you feel. My brain sometimes works like that....but words are abstract. Symbols and objects are concrete. Yet another reason that writing is really positive for people with Aspergers. Putting words to the images, and getting a handle on the ever present confusion of mind.
 I'm just sayin.
I used to call it, "talking in riddles" because it boggled me as to why I would say, seemingly senseless things. My speech is quite unique. I'm not purposefully trying to confuse anyone, or myself. It's simply how my very cool brain works:)
