I am having lots of anxiety due to a bunch of c**p going on. Just a lot of stuff piling on. Hard to sleep at night, short fuse, that constant "enough, I can't take it!" feeling. Is it useful to go to therapy when that is happening? If I went there I would just sit and be stressed out--how can you have meaningful conversation when you feel like that? Do any of you find therapy helpful at all when you are totally stressed and anxious? Does being with your T help? Should I even expect help? Probably not--what am I thinking, that they can just wave their magic wands and say, "be not anxious, my client"?

I can't remember being quite this way for a session before. What I really feel would help would be for people--family, co-workers, employees--to leave me alone. Going into a hole for a week sounds good. Seeing T isn't compatible with being in a hole, it means reaching out.

My session isn't until Thursday, so maybe I'll feel differently by then, or maybe I should just cancel now (need to give at least 24 hours notice) and hope for a better frame of mind next week.
