I'm sorry I'm the worst client ever... when you see me again in August it will probably be like starting all over as if our first 1.5 years never happened
why such a long break

No I wasn’t ok to leave or drive. But I wasn’t going to tell you that.

My visit home has been a bit exhausting, but mostly ok, T. Well, that's kind of sugar-coating the rough bits, actually. But I'm ok, I think. Making it, anyway. But I wish I didn't have to wait so long before our next session. What if I forget stuff? I've been reviewing my notes of our sessions, and there are some things I want to ask you. Just to clarify what you meant, or how I can implement what you suggest.

T, I am so scared to read your email. I don't think anything good will be in it.

Growly you're stronger than you think you are. You will get through this. Were you able to reach anyone on the hotline?

Thanks for this!

Two more sleeps - you haven't heard from me because I've been steeling myself for our next meeting. I don't want to run away from it any longer.

I can't work out who I am after our last session and I cant seem to quite access the present fully, like I'm a bit stuck in that place? Or a part of me is. So foggy. I've written a lot, but some of what I wrote I don't remember writing and my hand writing doesn't look like my own. I'm having to work very hard to keep myself safe. I'm hoping we can make some sense of this on Tuesday before you go away. I wish you weren't going, but you already know that.

I pretend to be a grown-up, but I'm really just a child. And everything I'm able to do, I'm only able to do them because of you. I'm not sure whether you understand how much I really need you.

I thought about it and there are 3 problems with the plan:

1. It's 21 pages long and not well written. Some areas of it are redundant.
2. I'm biased to think that I don't need a crisis plan, though I later realized it's not a bad idea to have one.
3. I felt very infantalized doing it. Like this somehow negates my ability to take care of myself.

I did most of it. Will finish it with Bubbles on the 23rd

Daisy, Bubbles is a great t name. Maybe Michael jackson’s chimp bubbles could have written a better plan.

Or Daisy could write a better one, publish it, make a gazillion $$$ selling it to t’s.

It could be titled “Michael Jackson’s Chimp Could Have Written a Better Crisis Plan Than the One Bubbles the T Gave Me to Fill Out.” (Too long?)

Hugs, Daisy. I hope there’s at least one helpful piece in the plan you’re working on.

I guess I'm just surprised that you didn't acknowledge or reply back to my email which I sent on thursday. Perhaps it didn't necessarily require a response, but I feel like you should know by now that feelings of being ignored can trigger me. I've told you this before but sometimes I feel like you change the smaller rules without telling me, and just expect me to figure it out.
