Wow, what a completely awesome session. You have a lot of courage!!! I hope talking to us on here makes the wait a little more bearable between sessions.

Sometimes I'm actually relieved when something really anxiety-provoking happens to me between sessions -- because then I get distracted from the wait. Like recently when I had that eye problem, that was during the 2 weeks I couldn't see my therapist. Even though I was dying to see him, I got so anxious worrying about my vision that I temporarily stopped worrying about missing my therapist. That's dumb isn't it. I definitely don't want major problems! But it's hard to figure out how to wait without obsessing over the next session. I have to work on healthy distractions, but the easy distractions are the ones that cause anxiety (I think I'm a little bit OCD here).

Hm, maybe I should get married, buy a house and 3 parrots and enroll in school as well as my job. But I notice it's hard for you to wait also so I guess it wouldn't help. Just remember you're not alone at all here.....
