This raises questions. Feel free not to answer them.

What is it specifically you dread:
  • The bother -- time & travel?
  • The counselor; their personality?
  • The topic you know you'll discuss?
  • The topic you fear you'll discuss?

The bother - this is a little bit of it. My dog usually goes all day without going out to go potty b/c I work from 9am-4pm. Now, he has to go until 6pm...that's a long time for him!

The counselor is nice. I think she thinks I'm more put together than I am. The last time I was there I was talking about going off my meds. I think she's going to be in for a big surprose.

The topic you know you'll discuss?
I really want to vent about stuff going on, so that will be good. I don't think I'm dreading or in fear of discussing anything. I feel, rather, that I might have too much to discuss.

I also think my tummy is bothering me - I have ulcerative colitis...and it's been flaring lately (and does so when I am stressed)...I would prefer to go home and just lay down, I think. I should call my doc - I'm up for bloodwork this week AND I need some refills. I'm avoiding calling during the day at work, though.

I think I fear I might not get any resolution from tonight's meeting. What if it doesn't help? Especially with my relationship issues/decisions. That's been weighing on my mind heavily lately.

What if she has an opinion as to whether I should increase or decrease my medication dosage...I fear both things, actually.
Thanks for this!

I went and I feel a lot better about things. We talked a lot about my meds, my relationships, pressures I have been feeling with my family members and friends.

I'm glad. I go back in 2 weeks.

I didn't want to go see my therapist today either, but I'm glad I did. Even though I have a lot of issues, he is seeing some improvement. I felt better after getting it all out. I highly recommend therapy to anyone.

I'm glad you went and you feel better! Take care!!
Thanks for this!
