Why?

I don't know why I keep on reaching out to my T when I feel bad? I know there isn't anything she can do to make feel better. There isn't anything anyone can do. And then I just feel worse if she's doesn't respond. Or even if she does! She has a life and a family and I can't expect her to drop everything.

Maybe the act of reaching out to someone who knows you helps in itself, or sharing with someone who is emotionally available even if there really isn't a concrete at that moment?

I'm sorry that you are not feeling well.

I was just curious as to why she can't do anything to make you feel better? Do you know what you would want her to do that might help you feel better? If so, what prevents you from telling her?

Take care.

At one time i felt just the way you do. Is there anyone else in your life who can also offer support?

I completely get your post.. Don't give up x

I know exactly how you feel, although I don't understand why either. My T lets me text so quite often I will just send her a message saying 'Hey'. She knows that me sending this helps so she encourages it and will often respond back just so I know she's there.

I think we do feel better if we feel someone else is genuinely concerned for us.

When you sink so low there isn't much anyone can do to make you feel better.. She can't take away the pain...


You're right there.. Although when she doesn't answer it makes me feel like she really doesn't care.. Truth be told, I really don't know if she cares or not

I totally understand how this feels. I used to do the same thing with my best friend who was essentially my therapist before I found a real one.

What I've worked on with my T is being able to fill that void that I try to get others to fill. Now that I have more self-compassion, I have been able to not feel the need to go to others for validation and acceptance.

This is definitely something to talk to your T about if you want to really figure out why you do it.
