Me too! Definitely been through this. In the beginning of therapy, it happened all the time. I think it was a combination of being frutrated I couldn't talk, wanted to talk more and now had to wait another week. I have cried immediately leaving, all the way home and usually the next morning is difficult as well. Now, I've figured out a pattern. Night of session: sad. Next morning: cry a few hours. THe rest of the week I either suppress it or I've gotten it out of my system.

My T. says to be careful of finding patterns because we may set up an internal pattern. She says I have and so I expect to be upset the next day. She said to try to tell myself I'll have a good week. I thought most of the time I can't - feelings are too intense. I did it this week but worried the whole time I was just supressing the feelings. How do I know when I'm suppressing or when I've just changed my thought pattern? I plan to ask her this today.

My biggest feeling is a longing/dread in my chest. i can't describe it more than that. Recently I also realized this same feeling is the feeling I got when my parents wouldn't help me with something - kind of like T. not always able to help me. Maybe feeling alone?
