I’m having trouble thinking about topics for my next therapy session. Right now the biggest thing in my life is the pandemic (as in I think about it almost all the time) and I don’t feel like I need much support over that. I’m a little frustrated that all I can do is some volunteering at the food bank and the testing center my school is setting up, helping neighbors, and donating to charity, but it’s a minor frustration.

There’s a couple other minor issues we could discuss, and also I suppose our next appointment is the anniversary of my father’s death, but I don’t feel inclined to discuss that.

(ETA: I think maybe I didn’t explain myself that well. The pandemic also feels like the center of my life. So I can’t think of anything else to talk about in therapy. Yet at the same time I don’t think talking about it will help. And I don’t feel able to focus on anything else we have ongoing discussions about.)

So I might cancel. How are you using therapy now?
