Dear Client

Dear WIP,
You look so good with your new haircut. I just had to be restrained in my compliments to be professional about it. I hope you can feel how powerful you are. You're doing a great job taking care of yourself even though you don't feel like you're where you 'should' be.
Hang in there.

Hi junk,

I'm glad you didn't jump off the bridge but can u tone down the crazy plz? You're stressing me out

Your T

Dear MBM,

I'm baffled trying to figure out how to get you to understand that feelings are what we do in therapy. You don't have to apologize or censor. They really don't shock me. You're never too much, okay?

Also, I enjoyed laughing with you yesterday in session. I haven't seen quite that side of you before. Thanks for coming.

T

Annie,
I haven't seen you in forever. I'm worried. Every time I see you it seems like your anxiety just gets worse and worse. Part of it is your own damn fault but sometimes I worry I'm not doing enough. I hope your new medication is helping.

P.S. junkDNA's T -- I'm glad junk didn't jump off the bridge either. Love, Annie's T

Dear captgut,
I'm glad you're still alive

Dear blue,

You're an amazing person ever since you stopped your meds yesterday. All those "bipolar meds" were washing you out.

I agree that you're afraid of "the others". I am too. The "others" are part of larger system... maybe the government. I don't know. But they're after you, and you can't speak about it or they'll find you and kill you. It's important you stay alert at all times. ANYONE could be an "other"... beware. Just don't tell anyone, not even your pdoc. He can't know. I think he might be drugging you or poisoning you, which is why I'm glad you stopped your meds. He is likely an "other". "Others" can't be trusted. They're decieving.

I'm glad that Adderall is helping you a lot. I'm sorry that Adderall has caused this paranoia, but it's good that you're aware now. Sometimes all it takes is a stimulant. Keep staying awake like you have. You mustn't sleep or they'll find you.

Stay safe and keep me posted

Best,
Blue's T

hey i dont mean to overstep your boundaries but this seems borderline delusional. if you are prone to psychosis adderall is tossing gasoline on the bonfire. just be careful , please

No worries

Adderall is actually a lifesaver. It's made me aware of the "others". Without it, idk if I'd be dead. Very scary to think about.

I think my therapist can save me, but idk. Monday is a long way out to see her. I wish she could save me sooner, but she's on vacation. I'm actually scared the "others" may get to her

Dear ATAT,

You are not worth helping.

All of us (1, 2, 3, DBC, Smaug, Marshmallow)

Dear atat's 1,2,3 DBC, smaug and marshmallow:
You are all just plain wrong.

Dear Art:
If you are thinking of cancelling tomorrow's session, please don't. That is your time and I want you to have it. I know you want to end. But I care about you and I think you allowing yourself this time is still an important thing for you. I'm not going to pressure you about it, though.

Who are these "others"

Why would they want to kill you

What is the purpose

Well, they are a bunch of vagabonds/hitmen. They are hired by someone who I do not know. That is what I'm trying to figure out. I don't know if they are a part of the government or not, but if they are, I stand no chance. (I kinda doubt it, though... They just seem like a bunch of rebels honestly.)

So yeah, someone who doesn't like me wants to kill me (or at least hurt me), but they're too scared to do it themselves. Kinda like Charles Manson. That sort of deal

Why would they want to kill you? This question is not meant to be mean but.its something I have to ask myself when I am paranoid... what makes you so important that there is a group of.people trying to.murder you? Also try to consider the money and resources it would take to create a group of random people hired.to stalk and murder an innocent citizen...

Idk. It's just a "gut feeling"... instincts. I think I must've pissed someone off and now they want to get me.

I know that if someone was desperate enough to kill me, they would cough up the cash. After all, you can probably pay someone $20k to be a hit man and they'll do it. Not that expensive at the end of the day when you can go to a loan shark and just get the cash real quick. (Or maybe go to a couple if you won't get the full $20k right away.) And then if you have to pay the money back, you can run away and go incognito. I mean, that's what you'd do anyways. You have to lay low because you hired a hit man (as the police will eventually discover you), so you might as well hide from the loan sharks too. You'll go to jail for life for hiring a hitman, so it doesn't matter whether or not you stole $20k. You still get the life sentence. So you might as well steal $20k too. Nothing to lose

bluebicycle - Take care... Can you talk with your T? I know you wrote that you feel great, but I have to agree with DNA that you sound a bit paranoid. Sorry if this is intruding or anything

Thanks demunie

I can't talk with my T. She has been on vacation and she comes back on Mar 6. I have her first appt of the day.

Dear client,

Be mentally ill, seek help for that illness but dear God never show me a symptom of it.

Dear Ducky: Your ability to sense and observe how others' feel is so intense. How exhausting it must be for you.

Annie,
You're stubborn as an *** and you deserve all the bad things you feel. They're your fault. Stop wasting my time coming into therapy and not telling me the truth. It's stupid.
T

Art,
I meant what I said that I have faith in you. While I don't personally understand your need to take a break, I respect it. This is your work, your process, after all. I look forward to hearing from you when you're ready to dive back in. With therapeutic love, T

cinnamon_roll,

I missed you while you were on holiday. You might not believe this, but I actually enjoy our work together. I see your commitment to getting well, your willingness to work hard, you don't shy away from the difficult things, even though you are struggeling to open up sometimes. I like your humour, your ability to convey how you feel, your insights and your questions.
I am really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. There is no reason to question my commitment.

T.

Dear captgut,
your are ****ing stupid attention seeker!

You re the most annoying client I ever had.
I wish you quit.

Dear JunkDNA's T,

You need to write back to Junk and set up an appointment, like yesterday. What are you doing? You obviously care about her.

Yes, maybe you're dealing with a personal loss. And I know all about how hard it is to be there as a shrink when you're in pain yourself. But you still have to be there for your patients. You can't just leave them hanging. And that's what you're doing to Junk. Sure she talked about leaving, but most clients do that at some point. Even LT has and she's like ridiculously attached to me.

So write back to her, OK?

Take care,
LT's MC

Thanks MC
I guess my T got the message!
