First, we discussed that I am still constantly scared. T suggested I get blood work done so we can try out some meds, probably SSRIs at first. He went over side effects as well as how it should help and what part it would play in therapy if I decided to go for meds. He also made sure to point out repeatedly that they might not work, given that not everyone with BPD shows improvement of the symptoms the meds should treat. I was fine with that discussion, nothing was really news.
Then we talked about me visiting my grandparents on Monday. We discussed how I could argue back against things they say, rather than just ignore and accept them. How even if they don't agree with something I say in front of them right away, they might discuss it afterwards and it will at least partly stick with them. We talked about this a whole lot, but I don't feel like going into it right now.
Then, we shortly discussed that I'll be gone Friday in a week for job interviews. T mentioned that he'd be gone a week after that, which means I might have two weeks of only one session instead of two. That will kind of suck, but it sounds doable.
