I have noticed that when my life sucks, like right now, is when I wish to not see my T. And when my life is great I want to see T. Why could this be? Can any of you relate to this?

That is exactly what I was thinking today. My guess is that I feel I don't deserve her when I'm feeling low. I don't want her to see me like I see myself when I'm feeling bad. It's enough to know I'm a monster I don't want her to see it. But when I'm feeling good about myself, I just want to see her and tell her how much I love her. Weird maybe, maybe not... I don't know. Anyway, I hope you will get better soon...!

I can relate. Sometimes I don't want to put the effort into hiding how I'm really feeling, but don't feel I can be 100% honest otherwise I'd worry my T and get hospitalized or something.
It feels like it'd be easier to stay away, but I usually regret it if I cancel. |

For me it seems like when I am having a hard a time I want to see my Therapist more than ever.

When things are hard it can be a lot of additional work to keep going/be in therapy whereas when they are better, it is easier to talk and stay positive and not have to think so much?

When I am in a bad place the work tends to be harder and I fear saying something I might regret. So think about skipping sessions. On my 1st session with T she told me this is very common however, that is when it is the most important time to keep appointments.

I'm sorry I can't relate because I always want to see my T, in good times and bad ones.

I'm sorry your life sucks, GenCat. For me, therapy is my support system and my lifeline, so when my life sucks I do want to see T more urgently, and when life is good I tend not to think about him much. I fantasise that it might be easier if it were the other way around - when life sucks it just makes it more sucky if you're also missing your T, so if you don't want to see T it means at least you're not missing them - but I'm sure it's tough in a different way.

I have felt that way. For me, I think it is because I open up to her in ways tray I don't open up for anyone else. I want the person who knows me the most to think I have it all together. It's stupid, but I feel it nonetheless.

my life sucks because my college closed, I lost my dream job, my phone is dead, my horse is moving, I have no money to see T or my pdoc or to get meds. pretty much sucks isn't even the right word. unfortunate tragedies is more like it.

I do! I feel like I'm happy to report good news to my T, and disappoint him when I'm doing horrible and have been doing "unhealthy" things. I know it should be the opposite, but it isn't.

Yes, absolutely. The worse I'm feeling, the more I shut people out.
