Just home from t and I feel really strange. In the session this feeling of despair swept over me and even though I said nothing t noticed and tried really hard to help. I stayed over by half an hour and instead of feeling grateful I just feel its not enough. That make me feel really bad about myself. I told her I feel really unsafe and asked her to remind me what to do but it's so hard. Now I am panicking as I have nothing for Christmas and two kids! One even has a birthday. How do I carry on, what can I do. I'm so sorry for posting. I told myself I never would again, but right now this place is so awful I don't know where to turn.

You put one foot in front of the other and do what's right in front of you.

What do you do? You come here, and you post as much as you need to, you accept caring from your T, you speak a little kinder to yourself and remember that this will pass! xxx

breathe... take a second, and think about whats going on *at the moment*. forget the session, forget the holidays... just *be*. in... out...
i know it sounds too simple to be helpful, but give it a try. it really can work... then, set about writing... maybe journal your thoughts. what is it that is making you feel this way? what is stressing you out? then take that list, and put it into two categories: what is in my control, and what isn't. Set the list that is not in your control aside. For the things that *are*, outline some steps. what are you going to do about it? For instance, for the holiday thing... ok. what do they like? where are you going to buy it? when are you going to buy it? what is the budget? break it down... it will seem a lot less overwhelming. and please post as much as you want/need to... we are all here to support eachother...

Thank you for your replies. I really appreciate it as right now I don't feel deserving of any help. It is good to see it written down so I can return to it when things get desparate. I think it could be a very long week and you will never know quite how grateful I am for your replies.

It's really hard to do, but I find if I write out everything that needs to get done and cross off as I do each item, it helps. Even if you only do one thing a day, it helps, trust me.

Thanks. I still feel really rubbish and a little out of control but am pretty sure now that I am angry which is an emotion I have big trouble with. On the plus side I haven't resorted to s h yet. Not sure if it is easier or harder now I have more idea of what is happening, but thanks so much for your replies it is making life slightly easier

You deserve help and support, Willowleaf.
One thing at a time. None of us can do more than that. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
