Leaving a therapist, it being an anniversary on top of that must feel impossible. It is amazing what you survive through. It isn't much but I've not been able to open or pay for bills recently, not because of money but because opening and dealing with them was just too much. Anyway, did the stupid thing of opening my letter box after 6 weeks before work today...then I opened my letters. Stress. But I came home after work and told myself it had to be the first thing I did. I did it. I'm still anxious about whether it is sorted, but I have done my best. What is one of the tasks or boxes to unpack that is overwhelming you?
PS - perna I am really sorry to hear about your husband. I am sending you and him lots of good wishes and thoughts. Take care of yourself.

I find it helps to write on here, too. I can talk to my H about lots of things, but with friends, I just feel weirder. I do have a good friend that I share some therapy stuff with, but even with her, at this point, I feel strange being like, Yeah, the whole transference thing is bothering me again. Because she'd likely say, as she did recently, that maybe I should just stop therapy if it's causing me this much distress. But I know then I'd only be running away...
Therapy feels almost like an alternate universe sometimes. And I'm glad I found this group because I can talk about it and not feel weird that, just this week, I saw my T, my MC, and my p-doc, so over 2 hours worth of therapy. And that I'm having transference issues with two of them, one being especially intense. That's just something difficult to explain to someone who hasn't been through it, or at least hasn't had a close therapeutic relationship.
So, coming back around to the main post, TWO, talk to us on here!
