Someone actually pointed that out to me in a reply to a previous thread I had posted last week. It is true, of course.
I was sitting here thinking "only two more days until my weekly therapy appointment". It feels weird because it is on Thursdays now, the day of the week bounces around depending upon her schedule, it has been either Monday or Tuesday since late winter.
The realization is that I wait in anticipation for that hour a week, or the appointment with the psychiatrist every 4-8 weeks, for "answers".
And, that means I am wasting the other 167 hours in the week, or the other 671 hours in that month by brooding about a past I can't change. Because these people are only able to offer guidance, they can't actually "fix" anything. I have to do that.
