Instead of quitting altogether- could you take a semester off? (I am not sure I understand what you are quitting - so I am assuming you are an adult and you mean school of some sort).
I have students who have needed to just take a break for a semester and then come back and can work.

stopdog, I am in university, have been for like 7 yrs now. I got derailed when I found a cool job in my 3rd year. I've been trying to get back into it for 2yrs now. It's a last chance situation so I need to spurr into action like, yesterday. But no later than within the next few weeks or it's just over. And I've been trying and trying and I recently started therapy but it's not gonna help me in time. I am so stuck in -not- doing anything. It's crazy.

I see T in just over an hour....and I have no idea what we'll be discussing today...except the mirror thing. And, sure, it has the potential to lead to stuff - but many times, I end up shutting down and it's a struggle to find something to talk about.

*sigh*

Wish me luck!

Is this fate or what.... I went to text my T to cancel tonight's appt and realized that I haven't had my cell phone in the office all day. Must have left it in the car. So now I have to walk all the way out to the parking lot if I want to cancel. Guess I 'll be making a trip out to the car.

Thanks for the support!

Yeah, I do make it a point to see T even when every piece of me is screaming NOOOOOOO and wanting to cancel. Even though there are times when I feel like it was a wasted session, I at least didn't have to face the missed/cancelled appointment anxiety. At the least, I'm consistent. LOL.

I know the power is mine to get to doing the real work in therapy. I just don't know how to do it. I don't know how to start or what to talk about. I hate the idea of bringing up "old" stuff because I feel embarrassed about things that have an affect on me after so many years. Therapy sucks.

RTS- Thanks for asking. The dinner went great! Only MC was there, and he sat very close to us.. we only really caught eyes right at the end. H and I see him today, so it will interesting to see if he says anything to me.

Anyways, I have been crazy busy the last couple of weeks and haven't had a lot of time on the internet. Things are going pretty well for me right now.. Looks like instead of being an aide I will going back to teaching next school year. I will be a pre- k teacher! Excited!

T session pretty much sucked.

Addressed the mirror issue....and we ended up pointing out all of the things that I do to my body because I hate my body...

The conversation staled quite a few times, and T commented about whether or not I was going to involve myself in the discussion. I honestly didn't know what to say.

Towards the end, he asked if I would make his wife a mother's day gift from their kids....a piece of jewelry, using the concept of being good to your body or loving your body or whatever.

Just what I needed, having to make a piece of jewelry about loving one's body FOR HIS THIN, BEAUTIFUL WIFE....
