How can you make therapy productive when you're a rapid cycler like me? Sometimes I go in there and I'm so elated and happy, that we end up just shooting the BS the whole time. Other times, I'm so down that I just spend the whole time pouring out my frustration and hate. It seems like then that the only productive sessions take place when I'm down. Well, I'm not really down yet, but I'm on the way down. That's probably why I've been so pissed off lately. But this morning I dumped my feelings out on the table before my T. I don't feel any better. He made some good suggestions but I'm just like, "What's the point? When I'm down I'll be down, when I'm up, I'll be up. " It is what it is. Mindfulness. I'm aware of my state. It just is what it is. I can't make myself happy be acknowledging I'm down and then trying some technique to rectify it. I'm down. That's it. That's all it is.
