Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your responses and support!
The latest is that at first today my case manager responded to my e-mail saying how stressful this must be for me, but that unfortunately she was busy all day and so didn't have time to talk. I said this was fine and was just happy with a response.
Then, unfortunately while I was at a meeting with a staff member of where I live, she called and e-mailed saying that she could come by at 11 to discuss this with me because one of her appointments got cut short. When I got the mesage it was 11!
I was able to call her and we did talk for a few minutes. She suggested writing down anything I'd like to ask him in response to what he sent and we could go over it on tuesday. She was so sweet to offer to come over when there was a cancelation!
MKAC: You're absolutely right! This guy is not the best to be discussing my feelings with! I was doing it before mainly because he came across originally as such a nice sensitive guy and I was naturally inclined to open up. This was a very hard time for me back then as I had no therapist. Now that I do, I won't be talking to him about this stuff anymore.
Rainbow: Yeah, sounds like CBT to me, which is wild because I just never expected that from him! I'll think about what you said about compromising on the goals/ time table for things. For what it's worth, the case manager was just as confused about the overfocusing on feelings as I was. Don't know what t will say. I don't know her well enough to know what reaction she might have, and she doesn't know me well enough to be able to weigh in on the issue as we've only had two sessions. I'm sure she'll be very empathetic though.
"Most young adults don't need a nap," LOL! I guess I'm not like most young adults! I did tell t about this yesterday and she said it's part of depression. Hopefully when I get a new pdoc and get my meds evaluated this will improve.
Thanks again everyone!
