I am fine when I have distractions from my PTSD, but when I don't I feel the world coming down on me. I want to hide. I have T tomorrow and last session was amazing, but I am feeling uneasy with a sick feeling about going tomorrow. I don't want to face the terror, the truth, my childhood but I can't pretend any longer. I feel so torn from re surpressing the memories or letting them cry all over myself tomorrow. I am afraid of losing myself tomorrow. But yet I feel myself needing my T, like he will reground me this week. I don't know I just don't like this feeling.

> I just don't like this feeling.

Tell T. I think it is important that you both should pay attention to it.

Hey happy. I know that feeling. It's like knowing you're getting a root canal tomorrow.

For me, it was anxiety over having to let my guard down. I spend a lot of time and energy on maintaining composure and therapy requires that I remove that mask. Talk about counter intuitive!

So if that's what you're going through, I'd say it's natural, it makes sense, and it gets better.

Be safe.

I sure know how that feels.Let your T know what you are experiencing. I've gone through this myself and probably will again. Things did get easier for me eventually.

Big hugs to you and best wishes.

Okay I just realized I didn't respond back to anyone. I did tell my T like suggested and he seemed concerned, he didn't want such a big buildup of that feeling before coming in maybe because it makes PTSD even worse. I don' t know. Last week he decided to keep it lighter, well it did get heavy though.

Yeah, Cyrano, it is like going in for a root canal, well what I think it would feel like, I haven't ever had one, but getting a back filling done is bad enough.

I am not doing well, I called to see if he had a sooner appointment this week before Thurs. but he doesn't .

I am so freaking depressed and full of anxiety. I couldn't do my speech today for class, and I will probably have to drop the class because he isn't allowing any make up speeches. This whole onset is messing me up big time. I am an A student and grades are important to me to get into grad school, but I just am struggling right now. I just hate this feeling.
