Dear T,
Thanks for fitting me in when you had a cancellation today. You said you were concerned you wouldn't be at your best because you were sick, but you seemed good to me. You listened to my rant and sob about things from my daughter's constipation issues (including graphic details) to my H calling me "irritating" to my worries about MC back around to my fears that I'm not a good mother, which you so kindly shot down. I can tell it's hard for you to hear me say those things about myself--it's obvious you care and even love me. I wish I could just magically shut those thoughts off. I don't think you have any personal experience with anxiety/OCD/depression, at least not to the level that I do, just from what you've seen in a clinical setting. I wish I could be more like you. But for now I'll do my best to stay in the "here and now," instead of thinking about the past (and the future), like you said...
Love,
LT
