When I was writing that title I originally was just thinking about therapy being tomorrow, but then also realized it's been how I've been living my life as I've been sloughing my way out this stupid depression. Just try to think about living through one more day before I worry about the one after that. And also when I have a really horrible day, I try to think, 'it's just one more day; it's not that big of deal, I can live through this.'

But, back to what I was originally going to ask, could somebody please reassure me that I can get through today without calling my therapist? Nothing really bad is happening. I see him tomorrow. Tomorrow is good enough, right? I'm just sad and grieving and feeling isolated. I can live through this. I should stop weeping at my desk and actually do some work. Right???

I understand why you're giving yourself a hard time about wanting to contacting your T; I do it all the time. But what would your T say? Would he mind you doing a quick check-in? I know my mine would insist on it. She says there's nothing wrong with it, and if it will help, then by all means do it.

Good luck!

Why deny yourself a really good thing? Will that make you a better person? If so, then deny away. Otherwise ... Why?

Wasn't there a song? Wilson & Philips?!

I understand where you're coming from, I'm just trying to get through one day at a time as well. It's hard, but the time does pass. Try to find things to distract you, to take your mind off the clock... Feeling isolated is no good, is there anyone you can reach out to or call - besides your T? Sometimes just a conversation with a friend can be a boost. It's good if you can connect to different people in your life (I'm working on it! )

Take care

i feel every day counts, if not for just because i am still breathing. when i feel hurried to make a appointment happen, or cook, or laundry, any thing that is like i have to do this now, i realize something is wrong . i guess by now you have seen the T. and i know you made it till time to see him, good.

It scares me Roadrunner, that it's too good. That I want it too much. That I NEED him. T describes me as "starved" for emotional intimacy. But I don't WANT to get that intimacy from him. Or I WANT it too much. Or something.

Once in a while I'll call my T's voicemail after office hours just so I can hear his voice. It helps.

I really want to do this but I'm afraid his phone is like my office phone where I can see who called.

Psychotherapy teaches that it is OK to want things because it is OK not to get what you want.

I know for a fact they can where my T is because I called one time and got the machine midday and the receptionist called me back and told me she saw I had called while she was on the phone!
