Hey guys
I don't usually post my own things very often but I have been feeling low the past few weeks. I really needed my session yesterday ( i see T once a week for 50 minutes - she doesnt offer longer sessions or twice a week etc) and was counting down the days until it came around. It started out fine, we got side tracked onto something that I wasn't really planning on discussing and it wasn't very helpful to the way I am feeling right now...it would have been fine if I was feeling better. when I asked how long we had left and she said about 10 minutes I felt my jaw drop to the ends of the earth because I felt like I had just sat down! I waited the whole long agonising week and it was over before I could blink and now I am back out to the crappy world for another week. I am supposed to be doing work for a course I am doing but I have no motivation  I hate feeling this way and realistically I know that T wouldn't be able to do anything about that anyway...argh why does life just totally suck sometimes

I am sorry to hear your session didn't go how you would have liked. Are you allowed to e-mail your T? If so, can you e-mail write everything you wanted to tell T and that way it out there and not in your mind, and your T knows exactly what you want to talk about next session. ((hugs))

It is horrible when what we have to say doesn't fit into the session - my T once likened it to "loss" - but as the above posts suggest, would it help to e-mail your T?

I'm really sorry you feel that way... and I so know this feeling. Even when I talk about what I really need, 50 minutes are always too short.
For the motivation, sometimes, when I feel so low, I "throw" myself in my work or homework... it doesn't make my worries go away but it makes the time go a little faster til the next appointment.. Hope you feel a little better soon... take care faith |

I'm sorry dizgirl.
Sometimes that happens to me and I'm devastated afterwards. I feel like: hey, I want to start over!! How could the session be over?! I want to cry and have a tantrum afterward, so I know how you feel!!!  I don't have an answer except to call or email your T but I have a feeling your T doesn't allow you to do that. If not, can you write it all out anyway? Can you post some here? We're good listeners!  I know, not the same as T, but we don't say "time's up" or "it's time to stop". Often I find that if I get involved in something very complicated or something I like to do, that is the best distraction. Or an escapist type novel. Maybe start the work for the course even if you don't feel motivated. The motivation comes after I get going on something, I've found. |
