I have session tomorrow with my shrink who has been away for two weeks. So much has been going on that I can't even imagine how to prioritize it to use the session well. And it is crucial because all my projects for the end of term are due next week. I am so distracted that I even rear-ended someone in my commute today. I haven't been able to work or concentrate at all. I slipped into a major depressive episode before a while ago and have had to go on meds. So there is that to talk about, since he does meds as well as my therapy. Plus I had an ugly fight with my partner about a triggering event and the anniversary is coming up. Then there is school stuff. Internal doubts due to my lack of concentration by both being triggered and also depressed. And on top of everything I've been the victim of identity theft and someone emptied my bank account, which feels creepy and like a violation. I can't possibly discuss all of this in one session. Some are not even connected. Usually I am clear about how I want to use session time but right now I can't see clearly.
