Today is my birthday and just about everything that could go wrong, did. It got to the point that I was just sitting on my bathroom floor, crying. I figured I had nothing to lose so I texted T. Surprisingly, she offered me a last minute session so I went in. She was super sweet and she completely understood why I was upset. She even related an anecdote about something similar that happened to her. I'm not really sure why, but I left actually feeling a little worse, eventhough T was so supportive. Part of what upset me so much was that, even after bringing my dad in to therapy and thinking he finally "got it" he did something today that demonstrates he didn't get it at all. He did exactly what he normally does, which I asked him-- in front of T-- not to do. So it was very helpful to have T acknowledge that I had made myself clear to my dad, and he had simply not listened. When I told her what happened, she literally gasped and said "I can't believe it!" And then, from there, so many other really awful things happened and I've spent my entire day on the phone and running errands, fixing everyone else's mistakes, trying to just get back to the status quo. It's just so exhausting and frustrating. I'm supposed to go out to dinner with friends in an hour, and I am going, but I just don't feel like it. I'd rather just stay in a hole.
