Just got lots going round and around and around...
I feel a bit scared about therapy on thursday, and wobbly and emotional, not sure why....
Real life me is making dinner, driving kids around, cleaning the house, trying to avoid the wine.....sigh....,
I feel like a need a big hug from someone who won't judge me, or use it in any way.
Anyone?

Hi Red75, hope you feel better soon.

From the way I read your post, it seems perhaps you feel there's a big divide between the you who does everyday stuff, and the you who talks about difficult things in therapy? Is that kind of what's going on?

Awwww, thanks for all my hugs! Feeling better already

IG, I think that's really true. There's a big divide, and I feel that I have to keep the wobbly, emotional me far away from everyday, so that I won't affect my kids at all, or make them feel unsafe. It's so important that they feel safe.

I'm so touched by the responses I've had to this, and all my hugs.
Feel quite emotional....but in a good way!

I feel the same way sometimes. I hate how much I think about therapy and what I want to cover next session. I know my family gets the short end of the stick when I'm in these moods. Before last session I felt great and barely thought about therapy. Then last session made me mad and I'm counting the days until I can unload on T.
Hang in there and hug your kids!

Ugh! Hate it when your mind is taken up by thinking about that stuff instead of being able to concentrate 100%!

Sometimes it's hard to keep smiling and functioning when you just want some peace. How are you today? Thinking of you and hoping for the better

Thanks!
Your hugs and thoughts are really helping me through.
Feeling a bit crazy really....I'm making bad decisions....
Maybe it's the time of year
I came back from holiday feeling good, and thinking that I didn't really have much to take to therapy. Now I have so much I wouldn't fit it into three hours, let alone one!
My poor, poor T.

I think it's a good idea to let the kids see a little of that emotion. Not more than they can handle of course, but trying to hold it back all the time is worse, and it ends up seeping out anyway, usually in less than desirable ways... Ask me how I know
