Hi Sky,

Thanks for the note....putting one foot...paw...in front of the other is logical. This is one of those times when I am having a struggle doing even that much but yes, of course, I'm trying. This is really hard.

thanks for listening

Hi Rhapsody,

I am scheduled to meet a new counselor on June 7th - we'll see how that goes. It was a referral my counselor was able to find at the last moment, and hopefully it will work out. We've talked briefly by phone, but I think it's hard to tell until you have the chance to meet in person. So I don't know the answer to that question yet. I hope so but I don't know.......

Thanks.....

Take care,
ErinBear

Hi Bipolar Bear,

Thanks for the message, and your support. I'm supposed to meet with another counselor on June 7th. I do have that set up. Right now I'm not sure about going but....I do have that set up. sigh. This has all turned out to be a lot harder than I imagined! Thanks to everyone here for their caring and kindness.

{{{{{{{{{Erin}}}}}}}}}}} I am so sorry for your pain. I went thru the same thing with my pdoc and I still correspond by email with him although they frown on it (he and my new pdoc).

Be good to yourself during this time of transition.

Erin, do you still get to keep in touch with your T? I know that the *only* thing keeping me from being in the place you're in right now is that I get to email Gregory (my ex-T, who just moved out of state) and kind of keep in touch. If it weren't for that, I'd be a basketcase right now too.

Let me know if I can help.

Love, Candy

Hi Mary Alice,

Yeah, I know sometimes therapists and mental health folks sometimes have rules about how they stay in contact after you start making a transition..... (((((Mary Alice))))). That sounds really hard there, and I'm sorry.

I am allowed to email my former counselor at this point, and that is okay with him, although he didn't respond when I was a client and I gather he won't be responding now...I'm not exactly sure about that or how it is working. He left it a bit undefined. I think that he will probably talk with the new counselor once I get connected with one, and if they say I need to stop contact for awhile, I guess I will do that, although that would be hard. I understand the reasoning though. Hopefully after a year or so, I could be in touch at least occasionally with my former counselor. We went through too much together to fall out of contact permanently. We both would like to stay in touch, although it's still not clear to me how that is happening.

Thinking of you, Mary Alice, and thanks for the note.

Take care,
ErinBear

Hi Candybear,

I'm so glad you can be in touch with Gregory by email. I bet that does help, at least some! I'm able to write email to my counselor. I was able to email him during our working relationship, and at that point, the clinic's rule was that he couldn't write back. I'm not really clear on what the situation will be now. So far he isn't writing back. So I guess that if I am writing him, it is like half of being in touch this way. I don't know. It's hard to have a one-way conversation in email without the sessions inbetween. It was do-able before when we were meeting, but it is feeling a little awkward now without some face-to-face conversations or feedback periodically, if that makes sense. sigh

So anyway, yes, we can sort of be in touch. Thanks for listening.

hugs,
ErinBear
