My appointment with my T was cancelled and the STEPPS class was not quite as promised. I was upset to the point I started laughing with nerves a couple times. The class packet spent a lot of time talking about BPD, which they like to call Emotional Intensity Disorder (EID) That is what the teachers of the class will call it from now on. They called it an inability to regulate emotions. They used an analogy of a floodgate that is either tightly closed holding back a raging river or wide open letting the river flow and destroy everything in it's path. The class is supposed to teach tools to identify and manage the intensity of emotions(The Raging River). They say to give it three sessions before making any decisions about dropping out.

Monday, the 11th. I am looking forward to it- therapy has been really productive lately. I have been letting my structure slide a bit- she will likely give me a much needed kick in the ***. In the meantime, I am tightening it back up- before it results in symptoms.

I have mine March 14th, a day squeezed in to his busy schedule. Which is great, Im glad he has become an administrator and has found time for me. Things have been crazy stressed on my end lately, and I am just coming down trying to find some peace.
I have a lot of great things to report to him though, like the dropping of 10 pounds! Woohooo. Things are looking brighter. Im glad and he will be too. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

Well I am seeing my T Wednesday, May 29th.
I haven't had much to tell him lately, just that I am stuck in a rut. I have no motivation or drive to do anything. I feel like my life is passing me by. Maybe he can help me find some meaning and a reason to get up in the morning. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

May 29th I see my new therapist for the first time. I'm nervous. I struggle with being completely honest... not because I tell lies but because I hate how it feels to just go in, sit down and start b*tching. No one wants to do that. No wants to hear that. I hate the thought that my therapist might not like me or that she may dread my visits. Ugh... just a little paranoia to accompany my other problems.

So I just wanted to bump this thread for extra support for others. I actually just saw my T on Tuesday and was nervous about a new job I started on Thursday. Well things went well my first day and T really helped calm my nerves.
Anyway, with my new working schedule, lack of money, and new job schedule I won't get to see my therapist till after the new year. But it's good though, I will get a chance to be on my own, working and being less dependent on T. Also it's our 10 year anniversary so it will give me a chance to buy something nice for T as well. Please feel free to post as much as you want as you countdown to see your T! __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I see my T every Thursday afternoon. I don't like therapy, so I don't look forward to it. I have been seeing him for 6 weeks. Hopefully it will get better.

My countdown is still the same, two weeks and three days. Jesus did I really think I can go so long without seeing my T? Ugh. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I don't have a T but I have been counting down the days to my appointment with my Psychiatrist. I have spent the last 6 weeks undergoing a lot of medical tests and I'm looking for awnswers.
I assume my psychitatric meds must be changed. I'm eager to know how he wishes to do it - cold turkey? Hospital stay? Taper off? This not knowing has been so stressful. |
