So t called today, asked how I was, I kept it short because

T called today, I have been aggravated, because of everything, anyway I guess she noticed, She said she was looking foward to seeing me on the 27th, and also told me that the new t, would start next week, and she and the other therapists were happy about that, because they have a heavy caseload. I just said ok. She also told me, that my next appointment after the 27th would be sept 10th, because it would take a while for the new therapist, to get her new clients from the current therapists, and would have to get trained on the computer systems. So my schedule is still messed up.

I am feeling so aggravated, my mom is sick, possible throat cancer, I wont know results for another 2 weeks, she also has a weak heart. I am in alot of pain from a damn pinched nerve which i got from, lifting my inlaw a couple of days before she passed to get the bedpan under her. My knee is numb, hurting like crazy, the same knee i had a torn miniscus years ago, I can hardly walk too much without being in pain. So I have a reminder of her through this pain, I am feeling resentment. More than before. She is gone, but left me pain to remember her by.

Im starting to feel a bit down, because I am aggravated by all this. My h refuses to do grief therapy and wants me to help with his emotions, so I told him I am not available for that. Through all this, its unfortunate my t is not available weekly, I asked her if she could estimate when things could get back to normal.

She said she couldnt tell right now, we could discuss it in session, but there is really nothing to discuss. I know one thing, when I do go on the 27th I am not going anywhere near trauma talk.

It must be so frustrating to need/want to see your t and to have her so unavailable to you. I hope they get the new therapist on boarded soon so you can continue with your therapy less interrupted.

I'm sorry her call was not all that helpful. On the plus side, you have an end in sight to the crazy schedule, and she actually called you (many T's would not do that). I hope you are able to get what you need from the coming sessions. I also hope your husband will decide to do grief therapy instead of relying on you... sending

Agree... sorry it's been so difficult and crazy for you, but hopefully the Ts get their schedules worked out soon, and you can get back to seeing your T with some kind of normal schedule... hang in there!

It really sucks that you don't have access to your T right when you need her the most.

I just want my regular schedule back. Going from weekly to every 2 weeks to almost a month now . It's not right, even if the new t will start next week, god knows when my schedule will get back to normal.

Just wanted to say I'm going through the exact same thing with my h at the moment. He's reserving all these painful emotions for me and looks really hurt when I tell him I'm not in a place to hear them and he needs to see a T. I did make some progress last night and I felt like maybe he was thinking about it, so maybe it just takes longer for men to realise they need professional help (I also approached it differently which helped I think)

Sorry to hear your schedule is so messed up at the moment; routine and stability are so important at times like this. I know it's scant consolation but all I can suggest is to try and stay mindful. This disruption isn't a permanent thing and coping techniques like that may just make a difficult period slightly more bearable.

So sorry Sweepy. I am thinking of you and hope you can get things sorted asap. You really need weekly consistent support right now. I hope your H will see that it will benefit you both if he gets some external support. I am so sorry to hear about your Mum. My thoughts are with you. Take good care of yourself.
