I actually feel therapy-weird tonight. My head is foggy, I keep thinking about my session. Can't focus. Does everyone get like this? I hadn't ever gotten it from T2 until today. T1 though - yeah, I was a mess after every session.

I do believe I am back in therapy, people. Cool.

I call it a therapy hangover. I get it after nearly every session with my T.

I figure it happens when we're working hard on something and need to keep thinking about it.

Getting some work done I see

Sounds promising!

I get that often too. I'm probably horrible to talk to when I feel like that because it makes focusing really hard.

Yep. I get that way too. My T used to ask me at the end of every session what my thoughts were about the session. I told him I was incapable of thinking for at least day or more after the session. He finally stopped asking.

Oh, so maybe it's not OCD when I can't stop going over and over my session, especially the first night, like now. That's when I felt I HAD to email my T, and when I now feel like I MUST start a thread on here. Even so, the thoughts keep spinning around in my head. T said I don't have to do that. Just let the feelings be....but that's so hard! So, you're not alone, pbutton.

I have OCD-like traits, rainbow. So don't rule that out on account of me. OCD is an anxiety disorder, so I imagine there's a lot of overlap. My sister has severe OCD so I tend to discount the few symptoms that I have.

I am like that before. After not so much unless in a frustrated rage. Glad you are getting more comfortable with this one.

Ah yes. I get that too. Sometimes it's more of a therapy buzz and sometimes it's a therapy-weird but I think I know what you mean! Today I'm on a therapy buzz for sure!!

I never experienced that until I met current T (who is my third). I think it might be an indicator that something is actually happening this time around

Well, congrats and well done. I just feel/felt extreme fatigue sometimes at the end of session - like I could barely drive home fatigue.

[WikidPissah]

yup...I ruminate for hours afterwards. (I have obsessive thoughts too)

[Butterflies Are Free]

Yes, I have it at times and if I am able, I journal about my session. Do you like to journal?

I keep trying to journal. I wish I liked it. My former T told me that he thought it would help me. I just can't ever get in a groove with it. I do much better posting about it and sending PM's. I don't quite understand what the difference is.

It does seem like such a good idea though. I have a really nice journal. I might need to try using it again. Thanks!

I get the frustrated rage after every session without fail. Means therapy is working (from what I have read)!

yup... the "after session" feeling. Mind is all a muddle with what was said, what it meant, what wasn't said, replaying it over and over - glad im not the only one.
