My T is just like yours Pachyderm. However, when I needed to go deeper, he listened intently and one time said it made him sad for me.

I'll never forget this one time, I was telling him about a time when I took a bunch of Excedrin (I know icky!).

His response was 'when men try to kill themselves they go for a gun, with women, they go for pills'. I wanted to shout 'so I should've gone and got one of my dad's guns? I'm confused here.

I never did address that with him. It was last year and some time ago. This post reminded me of that.

If I try to stay in the past, he brings me back to the present. He doesn't think it helps to dwell. Sometimes I want to go back and I can tell he doesn't. I try anyway
