Sorry to butt in on your conversation here. I recently decided to reduce my sessions with my therapist to once a month, partially because my insurance company was delaying on paying, partially because I wanted to see where I was going "to land" after my daughter moved out and I wasn't constantly stressing about how she was doing. She's got her boyfriend now and he seems really nice and caring. They seem like soulmates. I thought that I may just come out of all it doing better and be able to use mindfulness etc to keep myself on track.

I'm thinking that was a mistake now though. Some major stress is building at work and then finding my daughters med stockpile yesterday has me majorly anxious. If I could keep all stressful situations out of my life I guess I would probably be ok. But realistically, that isn't going to happen. My insurance has finally started paying again so I guess I'm ok there too. I might see if I can move my next appointment up a week.

Why is it that CPTSD constantly makes you think that you are ok, that you really don't, or shouldn't have a problem. Must be bad coping mechanism that was created "during those years".
