I already took it this morning so I will skip it tomorrow morning and take it tomorrow night and hopefully that will take care of the problem. It's lasting 3-4 hours or more a day. Sometimes I just can't eat. Other times I just force myself to eat to see if it will improve the nausea. I was sad today because I got an Annihilator (Iced coffee from Dutch Bros) but I was too nauseated to drink it. Boo!  But I am hopeful this will fix the problem. It was just nice that he was empathetic and compassionate and kind with me. He always is. I don't know why I was so freaked out. Stupid anxiety! My Mom was actually helpful for once. I called her a little before the appointment and I was telling her I was anxious about it. She said to cut myself some slack, that a lot of people get anxious before doctor's appointments and that it is "normal." So that made me feel a bit better. It's surprising my Mom was actually helpful and sort of empathetic! I wonder what got into her?!!
When does Dr. T return?

That's too bad about the coffee! I have nausea issues at times, too (in part from migraines as well as anxiety), and I hate when we've ordered or cooked something that I usually like, but then I can't eat it. I'm glad your mom was helpful.
I'll next see Dr. T on Monday. I know it will only be a total of 10 days (or 9, depending on how one counts days), but it's the longest he's been away in a year. He's had a couple times where he was away for 5-7 days, but that seemed more manageable the way that we scheduled.
R helped quite a bit this time, and I'm really only starting to miss him right now, as I'd normally have a session tomorrow (I saw her on the days of my usual sessions). I suppose that's progress of a sort? I haven't emailed him either and am not feeling a particular need/desire to do so. (Though I wonder if our recent conflicts regarding outside contact could be playing a role in that?)
