i think... people are at much higher risk of picking up a virus or something when they are stressed out. i'm in australasia, remember... the weather is getting warmer here. there aren't any bugs going round that i know of. i don't expect one would last long as a therapist if one kept getting worried sick because of what patients are saying. i'm not really worried about how he does or doesn't respond to other patients, though, i'm worried about how he is responding to me.

i just feel... alone sometimes. like i've been dropped sometimes. i'm really stressed out right now with my mid-term. and then this other stuff... i don't know. have one more session with him and then i'm off for a while... expect that when i get back he will stake his standard one month off holiday. or maybe he will wait until i come back from the US to do that.
