Why is it that anytime one of my healthcare professionals takes anytime off for a long time I think they are quitting? My GP has been off for about 2 weeks and I am thinking he is just going to quit. He has been taking a lot of vacation this year and my twisted mind thinks that it is just his way of using all his vacation time before he drops the bombshell that he is taking a job somewhere else. I don't really think that but my mind is playing tricks on me trying to tell me that. I see him this week and it will be all I can do to keep from asking him if he is going to quit on me. I don't know what I will do come the day he does retire or quit. He has been so good to me. None of the other docs at the office know me real well and don't like to treat me.
So how do I keep my mind from telling me these things when my healthcare people take vacation time? Jbug

I'm not sure there is one single thing you can tell yourself. There are things you can do, like perhaps ask your GP if he intends leaving soon? I think testing our thinking with reality is the only way that we eventually learn to live with the nagging doubts, but also I think with life there is also a certain amount of uncertainty and we can never guarentee 100% that people won't eventually leave. But its hard I know.

What I understand about ths is that its about abandonment. And all of us with self disorders have that as an underlying issue. We werent given the secure support to separate from our other with a sound and solid feeling of love and support, to go, to take with us, (internalise), so when we get thes important relationships, it takes us back emotionally to about 1 1/2 years old, the time when we should have been getting support and love for exploring and separating and going back, to emotionally 'refuel' then exploring and separating again. So, if your person, is in fact genuine and not liable to behave unreliably, and if he is supportive to your growth, ...........well, I'm kind of experiencing similar stuff at present, but just managing to scrape through by understanding what it is that is happening to me, and trusting my other, so then i can manage myself through it. But I believe that the other really does have to be trustworthy in reality, for us to be able to grow through these experiences, and get restarted where we got derailed before. ......? that makes some sense?? river

He is back from vacation and I talked to his wife a few days ago and jokingly asked if he was quitting so as not to sound too needy and she reassured me that he wasn't quitting and also gave me a heads up that in a few months he will be taking off again as they are going on vacation again to Myrtle Beach.
