I'm waiting for my T to email me that she is home. I've got a lot of errands to do today and other stuff but I'm still waiting.....Waiting is hard! I'm wondering a lot about therapy too, but RL is taking up most of the space in my brain now. Everything is whirling around......I wonder if she's in the airplane or on the ground. I couldn't think about her with her family this week. It was too triggering, so I made my mind forget about her. Is that weird?

Nothing is Weird if it works for you, nor doesn't harm you
Whatever works - whatever it takes to get us through

if it worked, it worked......distracting yourself/making yourself forget was a good enough way to cope so that you weren't triggering yourself! I am actually glad you have RL taking up more space in your brain (like it should!
 ) than therapy...... but I hope you know soon that T is safely home.

Thanks!
 No, she didn't email me yet but I don't want to bother her. The weather changed and it's very windy and going to be stormy later. I hope she's home soon. I'm NOT going to worry, though. I've got more errands to do so I'd better go before I get in a thunderstorm myself! I don't like to drive in storms.

I was busy with dinner and just went back online and there was my message waiting for me! My T said "we'll have a lot to talk about on Tuesday". My stomach and heart are doing flip-flops.
 Not about discussing the meds, but about seeing her again. Reading her email again is making me feel too much. In a way it was nice not to have those intense feelings for awhile, but I am SO happy she's back, safe and sound!!I have my session Tuesday and then I'll miss at least 2 sessions again. I have to be sure to be there, 100% mindful and not get into arguments about meds or fish oil.  I want to hold her hand, but I'm embarrassed. I hope she looks "normal" and not like she did last time. I want to ask if we could take a walk, but I don't know if it's a good idea when I'm going away. I might not get to say everything I want to. Why is therapy so important? Why did everything change when I saw her email just now??? How am I going to survive until Tuesday????? I know I will, but the flip/flop feelings are so strong! I don't WANT her to be so important again, but she IS. I wish I knew how much is transference. I know a lot of you go through this pain, not just me. But why do I feel like this? I've never gotten an answer except for "unmet needs". I hate "unmet needs!" If meds will make these needs go away, I'm all for them, but I don't think they work that way. |

I emailed my T back and told her most of what I just posted about my stomach doing flip/flops. I said "I don't want to care about you. It hurts too much."

Thank you, granite. Do you have your session today? Good luck!
I am still in the mood from yesterday. I don't WANT to care about my T. I was all right while she was gone because I didn't think about her. Out of sight, out of mind. But now she's back and my feelings are too strong. I love her AND I'm angry with her about her bringing up meds and the other stuff last session. I'm embarrassed about being turned off by her hair being different and my telling her that. I want to hide from her.

Sorry to be so self-centered, but I don't want my thread to be on page 2 yet.
