I don't know whether to take an ambien tonight or melitonin.
My waist long hair is so knotted it's above my shoulders. I tried detaingling it several days ago with no luck. This whole self care thing I suck at.
So T keeps asking to do Zoom but I'm uncomfortable with that. First off She's going to notice my hair. I'm always perfectly showered and well kept when I show up there no matter how I actually feel. Plus I don't want her to see my house that's an odd invasion of privacy. Plus my bed is up against a window (no other place in the house is private). Has anyone ever taken there own notes in therapy? So both you and T take notes. I "see" T next Thursday.

Sorry to hear you're struggling, MM.
It is ultimately up to you if you want to do Zoom, but I personally don't think she will care about how your hair, etc. looks. Therapists know and understand that these times are stressful on a lot of us, and that this stress impacts everyone in different ways.
If you still don't feel comfortable, it's okay to tell your therapist that you're NOT comfortable going on camera. You don't have to tell her why if telling her the real reason will upset you, but a good therapist will respect your boundaries if you politely tell them, "no, I do not wish to do this." If your therapist continues to push you, though, then you need to push back and again, say, "no, I do not wish to do this. This is what I have decided."
