I'm glad that you are finally in a day program that you like!!! That is such good news!!
I'm sorry that you are upset with the OT head's treatment plan. He sounds very much like a CBT T, with his concern about your overfocusing on feelings rather than on actions to change your feelings. I think it's healthy to be in the middle somewhere.
I think the best course of action for you is to discuss the plan with your T and see what she thinks of it all. I'd bring up your concerns about the overfocusing, since dealing with your feelings is her expertise and what you're seeing her for. I know that you sent her and your case magager the plan. Try not to worry more until you hear what they both have to say!
You don't have to do anything just because the OT head is suggesting it. I think it's a lot to do, and would be overwhelming to me too! I'm sure parts of it are acceptable to you. Volunteering and/or working is a goal that you have too. Maybe riding on the bus yourself isn't a goal right now, but maybe in the future.
I'm wondering why you nap during the day. Is it because of your depression? I don't mean to pry, but young adults usually don't need to nap. Maybe you could discuss your sleeping habits with your T? If you are so tired from all of your activities, maybe you're doing too much!!
I understand the stress you're going through right now, but I think you're on the right track now that you have a T and a day program that you like. I hope your T has some good feedback for you about the OT's treatment plan. Lots of hugs for you. I'm not using the hug icon because I think you said that your reader/machine can't say them. Is that right?
Hang in there, Adel!!!
