Okay, tomorrow is my weekly appointment. For the past few weeks I have asked to change the focus of our sessions to current family needs, my children's needs and how to cope. Last week at the end of our session T asked if I was ready this week to return to other needs-I said yes, but now I'm not sure! Just the thought of this scares me and triggers many memories. I have had a harder time than usual staying asleep each night. I know I need to get the past out, but I never have spoken of any of this out loud. I'm already in an agitated, restless state and this definitely isn't helping. I'm glad I'm off to work to get some relief from my mind!

Your emotional state means that this is important stuff. Good luck at your appt! Let us know how it turns out if you feel like it.

My session didn't go very well today. I was so wired, I guess from meds, that I couldn't sit still. We spent most of the time trying to figure out what's going on physically with me-meds?, adhd?, etc. It was embarrassing because the more I tried to still my movements, the worse it got. Meanwhile, I have called the doc and asked for meds adjustment. I guess I'll never get through the emotional stuff if I can't get physically straight!

I'm sorry that the restlessness overcame some of the work you wanted to do. ...I can definitely see myself foot tapping and head jerking, clothing-picking my way through my own appt...here I go!

mcl6136,
Good luck! I hope you do better than me. I had to go back to family therapy tonight, and even though I was restless, it wasn't so bad because the attention was mainly on my children, not me. Still, I thought two hours of sitting was going to do me in. At one point this evening, I caught myself trying to hide my head with my sweater. I'm sure that would have embarrassed the kids had they been watching!
