Sounds like you have plenty to do with work and school to keep yourself out of your head.

Well then I don't see how you can be inside your own head too much! I have 4 kids and when they were young I also did child care and there was no way I could focus on myself at all back then!

Conversation with my therapist: Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here." Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here." (Pause) Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?" Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall." It's official. I can even make therapists crazy. |

Working with children would certainly keep you other focused.

Yes it is difficult to be in my head too much I think...

Yes that's for sure. They definitely keep me busy. That's for sure!!

I really just want to receive a text from her today...even if it says "I'm busy and can't talk right now" or "Stop being a fu--ing victim!". Ofcourse I would prefer the first one over the second one but at this point either will do.

Probably not eh?

Yah, it leaves you in a position to put up with anything as long as she pays you some attention. Do you think that you did this as a child? (Negative attention is better then no attention).

I just want to feel some sort of connection, I know she cares about me but I want to have her text me to see how I am doing, or how I made it through the weekend, or just about anything...

Hmmm....How would I have done that as I child? I didn't have a cell back then. Lol. Do you have any suggestions?
|

You are right though. When I am like this I am not very "Adult Cats", I am more like "L'il Cats"...

On another note I am starting to wonder if Zoo and I are seeing the same T?,,,Wouldn't that be something, I doubt it though...

How about when you were small you would take any negative attention rather then be ignored?

Definitely, my needs often went unmet...

So don't keep up that pattern and accept bad treatment as long as it is some attention? You deserve better then that. And if you keep putting up with it you won't get to a better place. And just think how it feeds into your hating yourself and feeling suicidal, and wanting to SI.

You put up with the bad behavior because she does give you good behavior too (the good behavior is the good bones). Maybe you would be better with someone who can always give you good behavior?

Ugh...I don't know about that. I would have to think a lot before I made the decision to get a different T...
