He called (unsolicited) to check up on me. I am in a rather bad place, but plugging along - like I have any other choice.

I've been with this guy for 8 years, and he has never called just out of the blue. I so appreciate his concern. I actually didn't even know he had my phone number.

It's a good (surprising, outstanding, warm) feeling to know that someone is thinking about me, even though this is one of those times when it is all up to me to abide the circumstances and emerge.

Someone (and I'm sorry I can't remember who) wrote on these boards once, that a burden shared is a burden halved. So true so true.

I'm grateful for his attention and grateful that I have a place to share this good bit of news.

Take care all. There is good in life, and sometimes we happen across really good people along the way.

Awww that was really nice of your T. I'm glad its helped

those rascally t's..always doing something nice to mess you up!

my t has done that twice..

the first time she apologized for doing so and the next time i saw her (and was in a better place mentally) i told her never do that-apologize again)..it was great she called..it meant alot to us to know she cared enough to call. it was the same day after a really intense and difficult session.

the second time she just called out of the blue...later in the week...we were teetering on THE EDGE...and she was worried...and she called to see how things were going and to say she cared.

its just nice when they do that...boundaries be damned sometimes..it can make such a difference...and i think that for me anyway it shows me she does care (even tho i know she does deeply) when i am in that deep dark place.

we have told her she can always call here if she is concerned or has something to say that she thinks of and feels it can't wait...we like the 2 way conversation...and she doesn't abuse it..which we are grateful for (!)

Thank you for sharing - you sound really good! I love that saying: "a burden shared is a burden halved"!! Love it who ever wrote it. Keep plugging along - were here for you every step of the way!!

umm i really didn't have anything to add..but i noticed i had 399 posts and oh boy my life is shallow and wanted to see me hit 400....

hey it snowed and i've been stuck in the house with the dogs so i'm a little crazier than usual....okay.

it's a shallow life...but it's mine...woo hoo!!!!

(((((((((((Elliemay))))))))))))) I'm sorry you are having such a hard time.

That is awesome that T called. My T has done that maybe once or twice. It is SO outside of what is "normal" that it completely shocked me both times. But felt good too.

You matter, and I'm glad T let you know you were on his mind.
