We laugh and talk about tv shows and books. I asked her questions and she always answers. She makes me laugh so hard and I feel like we can talk about anything except me and how I really feel.
I haven't told her how bad I am and that I want to not be here anymore. I can't bring myself to tell her. I like going to see her because I feel normal and she makes me laugh so much. Do I have to tell her how I really feel? I don't want her to read in the paper one day or see that I am in hospital thats why I haven't showed up to my appt |

During my last session I said (twice) that I wasn't doing a very good job of telling him how crappy I really felt. He really snapped into therapist mode & I found it quite helpful.

I get this button, I like my T too and sometimes find myself talking about football and BS instead of me, because its easy and he's nice and its easy... did I mention that? Tell your T you need some poking to get started. Chatty is OK and can even make you feel good, but its just masking the issues and is not really any help. Use your time wisely.

It doesn't mean you can't laugh and talk to each other; that's a healthy balance to the hard stuff. Don't worry about that! but laughing, talking, has brought you closer to T, and maybe now is a good time to give her your confidence. hang in there. ((((((((((((((button))))))))))))))) |

I always worry about her if something happened to me and I would hate for her to feel guilty or to think it was her fault. |

I know how you feel. I have the same struggle.
You want to know what's weird? Our sessions can often go through both extremes. Like yesterday's. I was all miserable and crazy, but the crying was interpersed with me listening to my therapist talk about her eye infection (via bladder infection ![]() I find that it's a compromise between having a totally light-hearted session and having a serious work-out session. |

We start with small talk then eventually it goes to "So what are we avoiding today?" or "So how are you feeling right now?"

New T, always answers my questions about my ex and my mother and why they do things, Ex T would never tell me anything and bring it back to me and why do I need to know all of this. I don't know how is right or wrong or they are both right in their own way. New T is not very sympathetic , or maybe its because she is around the same age as me, we curse a lot and call people bit**** hahaha.. and it does help because EX t tried to get me to get my anger out all the time but I could never do it with her because I liked her so much. Damn feelings :P I haven't felt this bad in a long time and it scares me again because they are so intense and I am afraid that I won't be able to talk myself out of them. T knew I was sui at the first session because we emailed but she never mentioned it since and sometimes I ask her can she start because I can't but she wont do this because she likes the client to be in charge of their own session. Sometimes I sit there for 30 mins saying nothing. |
