My friend asked me about it at lunch last week. I was like, this is how I used to get into trouble. I hated the letter management sent out (about the papers) so much, I felt personally responsible for making things better. But it wasn't necessary, really. All I did was make myself look like a fool. Or at least undependable. Stupid, stupid, stupid! (My mantra!)
just call them if you can and say you are no longer going to do it and then be done with it .you will feel better

MUE, I'm sorry your head is so bad. The one I had last week was intermittent over the weekend, but is back with a vengeance today. I hate the post-triptan feeling, too. I hope you're feeling better soon.

I had t this morning. Awful session, just awful. We spent most of the time in silence, which I find awkward at the best of times. When I did speak, it was to say things that I'm ashamed of. We spent most of the session with him watching me staring at my travel mug.

It's always stressful to move house and sad if you don't want to. But it looks like you are spared the pain of waiting for a decent offer. That's something to be grateful for.

January is the best month to sell property.

Hi Lola... been thinking and praying for you today. Hope you are able to find some peace...

You are probably right. It's like I'm hanging onto it, to not call myself a failure yet. This is what we were just talking about in T. How are you so smart?? I hoard my mistakes, trying to spin them into gold. Hmm...

Sorry you had such a difficult T session.

I find it troubling, too, when sitting in silence in T. My T tends to have a different take on silence than I do, so I wonder if it'd be worthwhile to discuss it with T and see where it takes you.

Thanks for the support about the migraine. I'm sorry that you're suffering too.

These migraines tend to take me down a very destructive path of hopelessness. I'm trying not to let that happen, but I am so worn down by it all. My daughter is upset because her day at her cousin's house will be cut short because my mom (who is also visiting my sister) will be leaving there at 3 PM to bring her home instead of me going there to pick her up - since I'm in so much pain. I am trying not to let the guilt set in and lead me to feeling like I'm an awful mom and a total failure because I'm letting my daughter down. Not rational, I know. It's the migraine talking. Ack.

Silence doesn't have to be a bad thing. Sometimes T and I sit in silence and the room fills with love.

My T dimmed the lights for me last week and it made me so much more relaxed. I'm going to have to ask if she can do it again- it's much easier on my eyes.

MUE, MKAC, thanks you guys. I'm working through it. I've got T wednesday, then pdoc next tuesday and t wednesday after that. So I should hopefully be able to do this.

GoodLuck PButton.

Lola-I'm thinking about you.

Well folks, after all day-the dogs are bathed, house is clean and only a couple more loads of laundry to go. I have a headache from using so much bleach, but at least the house is clean and fresh.
Thanks for this!

T came out in the waiting room, grinned at me and turned on the lights. I didn't ask why it was dark, but I did learn where the light switch was. Not that I'd ever use it.

I would not turn on their lights either - not my office, not my place to mess with the lighting.
Thanks for this!

{{{{{{ Lola }}}}}}

My T has only overhead fluorescent lights. He has a couple of table lamps, but doesn't use them. When I went in on Thursday, my head was really bad and he asked if I wanted the overhead lights off. I did, but his lamps didn't work. I tried to tell him it was okay, but he went next door and brought his wife's floor lamp in. It was nice to not have such harsh lighting.

Just wanted to say thank you. I did see it before my appointment (I'm heading off in about 20 minutes). I feel so dreadful. So really, thanks so much. It's going to be a rough day.
