But you're right that I'm sure he's fine with it. I mean, I guess if I'm still thinking about it, I could always say at the start of next session that I reflexively said "You too" when he wished me a good Christmas, and that I had no idea if he celebrated, that I'm not asking him if he does, but if he doesn't, hope he didn't take offense because that's not how I meant it (only maybe rephrase it, because that's kinda long!) I'm sure he'd probably find it interesting that I was even concerned he could have been offended...which could be a topic of conversation. Because that would suggest I worry about the same with other people in my life (or even strangers). So maybe it would be worth bringing up! |

LT, I would not worry about that at all. You have no way of knowing what he celebrates unless he tells you. Besides which, your intentions were to include, not exclude. I give my therapist a Christmas present every year and have no idea what/if she celebrates. It's from the heart. If someone wished me Happy Chanukah, I'd love that.

Morning couchies! I'm off work today cuz 1) i had 8 hours of purchased PTO that I had to use-or-lose, and 2) my son's flying out this afternoon to visit my mom and sisters in Missouri for the holiday. I'd had to have left early to take him anyway, so I figured, use up the paid time off that I have to use before the end of the year and take the whole day. So I'm just kickin' back today until it's time to take him to the airport later! I work tomorrow and see t (final session?) then I'm off 3 days.
January 1 and 58 hour work-weeks are almost here again! |

My T and I discussed Christmas trees in session briefly (real vs. artificial), and I asked which she had, so I know that she celebrates. It didn't occur to me until right now that that was a cultural disclosure of sorts. There is nothing to indicate that she is Jewish or Muslim or something, though, and I don't know if Christmas is a religious or a cultural holiday for her. It does kind of wreck the running joke that my spouse and I have about my T being Jewish, though... |

Thanks Spoon, Munie, BCM, capt...and thanks for the well-wishes, Cake.
Freaking intense session, but I think it was absolutely needed.

11 more days and I feel like I'm unraveling.
I'm tempted to email another therapist- but feel that this would be classified as acting up and "acting in ways that undermine therapy". Maybe I am just being dramatic but I'm just struggling. Last class tomorrow at 9.30am- funnily enough it's in the psychiatry department and a seminar with the head of psychiatry called " involuntary hospitalizations" .
Possible trigger:
Flight home the next day at 8pm. |

![]() I ended up giving in. The only person I have is my 23 year old baby brother who struggles as much as I do. He's currently in his second year with exams looming on the horizon too- so I hold back from telling him. He needs my support and reassurance to just keep telling him he's doing okay. My Immunology exam is still on the 12th and I've been in bed for most of these last 3 days doing zero studying watching conspiracy videos on youtube- anything to just distract myself.My mind just feels so lost. |

Does the solstice only apply to those in the northern hemisphere? [Plays ignorance card]

Just saw orthopedic Dr. He agrees with my primary Dr. that I need to see a rheumatologist. That's not until January 5. Doesn't think I have sciatica. He doesn't know what I have!!!

I think it would be summer solstice there? Where are the Australia/NZ couchies? I guess probably sleeping... (Do we have anyone from South America? Not sure...)

This is not intended to be some sort of dramatic "I'm leaving" post, and certainly not a flounce... I'm not leaving forever and I think I will likely lurk a bit, but I won't be around much for the foreseeable future (I guess I already haven't been). I'll keep checking my PMs. I just wanted to apologise in advance for not 'hugging' and 'thanking' and generally being around to offer support. I am really very, very fond of you lot.

I have completed the xmas dinner shopping. I have a large piece of beef to roast. I may cut it and try a couple of different styles.
