The humidity is affecting my medications. My heart tablet instantly disintegrated on my tongue and it several swallows to wash it down.

I'm just too tired to write anything of use really... I need sleep, but I keep getting woken up.

That's good to hear, 888.

bpa, I don't think you're killing threads - I think it's mostly time zone silliness. It's late morning/noon in Europe, and the middle of the night in the US.

stopdog, panic attacks and hyperventilating sounds upsetting. I hope you feel better soon.

I just had a pretty good session with T.

And 1984 was the year in which I first visited the US.

I definitely do this. I go from thinking that my T is terrible and how could anyone stand to talk to her, and that she must surely lose a lot of clients (sorry T, those are unkind thoughts), to thinking that she is a genius and that she this way of looking at the world that is phenomenal and life changing and that I wouldn't like to have therapy with anyone else as they probably wouldn't have this.

Bipolarartist, very true. I go through idealisation and devaluation.

I haven't had these sorts of cycles because I never have the I love the therapist or the therapist is brilliant, fantastic whatever part. I am not sure she is even okay. Not completely inadequate is about as high as I can go for the woman.

I do go through the woman has completely failed to the woman has only usually failed.

I've never gone through those kinds of emotions. I pretty much see T for who he is with both positive and negative qualities at the same time. It doesn't really fluctuate for me.

My cat would not come in last night so I went to bed and this morning he was quite yowly at me when I let him in and is sitting here still swishing his tail and glaring at me even after the large amount of canned food I gave him as recompense.

I do this for sure. Came out of an "I hate t" cycle and into the "She is amazing" phase after we talked last week; right now, I am residing in a place where she is simply human. A human who is skilled at therapy yes, but not seeing any superpowers. At least for the moment. This may change when we talk later today!

How quickly they forget that THEY were the ones that refused to come in the night before. One of my cats does that every now & then -when I let him in in the morning he does the glaring looks and refuses to purr when I pet him. Same thing when I come home smelling of someone else's cat or dog lol.

Jan 22, 2015, 08:29 AM

This cold totally sucks! Oh well. I guess if I never had an annoying, sucky cold I wouldn't know how good it felt not to have one. Or so I keep telling myself as I drag my sick butt out of bed to go to work when I should be asleep getting over it.

stopdog · Jan 22, 2015, 08:35 AM

I have never subscribed to the school of thought that feeling bad is useful because when youn't feel it, you are more grateful when it stops or whatever the word would be.

My T has not commented on my super powers either.

In case anyone is wondering, conspiracy theorist never did admit to being a conspiracy theorist. It was kinda fun and amusing.

That's bad isn't it? I shouldn't be entertained by this sort of thing.

Your cat and my 7 year old seem to have very similar personalities. I've been having to remind myself that she is my child and I love her very much far too often lately :stressed:

I *still* do this with previous T and I haven't seen her in over a year and a half

With T I'm less dramatic, thankfully enough, or I'd drive myself crazy. I usually just go back and forth between you can help me-you can't help me.

I get annoyed when T discusses whether I am idealizing him. I am like, 'no really, you are VERY annoying and your tendency toward anxiety is too much like my husband's and makes my life harder sometimes. However, you are really freaking cute, incredibly funny, intelligent, and good at what you do and I acknowledge that as well.' He looked at me really funny for several minutes after that. Then I pointed out time was up for the day and we could continue there next week if he liked. I thought it was a pretty funny situation, anyway.

Jan 22, 2015, 11:12 AM

Someone remind me that punching others in the face is frowned upon in polite society. No matter how much they deserve it.

Haha. My T doesn't ever talk about me idealizing him. Probably because I argue with him every chance I get. He gets really happy when he "wins" one LOLOLOL.

I wish I could but I'm feeling the urge myself.

Yea, neither therapist has ever mentioned anything about me idolizing them. I am trying to picture what that would look like even a little bit.

And face-punching is generally not socially acceptable. Use your words instead.

Words do not adequately convey how frustrating and horrible and stupid I am finding certain people to be. Have had to use my icy cold 'I will kill you if you don't stop talking' voice several times today. I have actually said out loud, "STOP. TALKING. RIGHT. NOW." The person said I frightened them. I then felt compelled to point out to this guy that he is a fifty-five year old convicted felon; he cannot be afraid of me. His response was that I am a very scary person. Seriously you are in a penitentiary; me speaking to you coldly cannot be the worst thing that happened to you today. Suck it up. wussy.

Disclaimer: calling a 55 year old felon in a maximum security facility a wussy is not something I recommend. Don't try this at home.
