I don't even know what to say, or where to begin. I'm so effing nervous. And I'm so, so mad that I have to go back into therapy.
But I just stopped back in September. No good-byes, no explanation. I just stopped. I felt fine, and capable, and just plain done with therapy. I'm kinda overwhelmed now. __________________ "Every person, on the foundation of his or her own sufferings and joys, builds for all." ~Albert Camus Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.

Therapy can be overwhelming, but since you made the appointment I assume that you think you need it again. I'm sure things will go fine. Is is a different therapist than before? That can be scary, seeing a new one. I get nervous when I see a new t.

I can understand the feeling of being overwhealmed. Hang in there. I am glad you have the appointment. I do believe that this will serve you well in the long run. |

My pdoc thinks I need therapy again, my new therapist agreed, by the end of the appointment. It's kinda frustrating, thinking I made progress, and then suddenly whatever disorder I have makes progress. I felt like crying after I left the appt, though, even though it ended on a positive note. Quote:

I'm glad it went ok. Therapy can be overwhelming.
I DID cry after my first appointment. My T retired. Never did seek out another one. Partially because of cost and partially because I didn't want to start all over with a new one. It took courage to start it back up. Proud of you ((((velouria)))) |

It's definitely overwhelming to start all over again, adjust, get used to a new person, hope that you jibe with each other. And I'm not happy about the cost, either. But, everyone seems to agree it's necessary. It's funny. Some don't want to take meds. I'm fine with taking meds, but I'm not fine with weekly therapy. I dunno, maybe I'm afraid. I used to never be afraid of facing things about myself before, or even starting with new therapists. This time it feels totally different, and I don't know why. Thank you again.

You can't have a setback if you haven't made progress! That means you've made progress! Setbacks ARE going to be part of life for us. It's just built into the scene. I guess the question is what the triggers are that push us into setbacks. Go easy on yourself. Everyone does that back-forth cha-cha.

When I saw the T in my pdoc's office it was great as she was an advocate for me.. it really gave me a voice with the doc....but she could only see me during day and work started riding me over missing so much,, hopefully they will work together for you and make this time very constructive....good luck, best wishes.....

Thank you. I'm hoping they can work together. I just have to be sure to not leave things out, and have to remember things. __________________ "Every person, on the foundation of his or her own sufferings and joys, builds for all." ~Albert Camus Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
