Hugs if you want them, NP.

QM, youre a freakin genius. When i was doing my math degree, thats what the old math profs said was the reason they lived so long - they just picked an unsolvable math theorem and declared they wouldnt die until they had solved it. If i ever straightened up my hoard, i would be free. Thats too scary to even say.

He should be OK with that. He's been called worse, I'm sure.

I have to get up. I must. If I don't show up to T's at 10, she'll think I offed myself. My heart feels like it's going to burst through my chest.

I’ve officially started applying for corporate jobs. Somebody’s gonna take a chance on this gal, right? Eventually somebody will say yeah, let’s give this chick a chance. She ain’t playing around. She’s middle aged. She wants to work. She ain’t no kid.

(I can hope and keep trying right?)

Youre a wrangler!

He wanted to make it really clear that this wasn't reactionary on his part. I'm supposed to read it before we meet Friday so I can tell him my thoughts. It seemed like it may be negotiable but I'm not sure. I'm really hesitant to read it since he had to preface it so vigorously. I'm afraid my feelings are going to get hurt somewhere in there.

ETA: it's not just about me, but his whole practice.

This issue is such a hot button one to me, I guess bc of how much I would like my T to email me- not even to reassure me but to see how his mind really works- how he interprets and thinks. I sent 121 emails to clients today. . . so, I don't really see why they feel so very exempt.

Art, what day do you see your T? How are you doing today?

Jul 18, 2018, 10:30 AM

Panic attacks can go die. I had one on the way home from work

Hugs, I know from experience that they can really suck.

I still haven't read all of it. The first page seems reasonable but I don't want him to say don't email anymore so I'm procrastinating. He wants to discuss it Friday so I guess I have to finish reading it. I already saw a few typos. I probably shouldn't correct them. That would probably come off as passive aggressive.

Lemoncake · Jul 18, 2018, 10:58 AM

I would be tempted to tell you to do it! xD

Lemoncake · Jul 18, 2018, 11:06 AM

I'm at the airport and feeling rather grumpy. It's 6pm so just 1.55 hours to wait. I found a row of 5 seats where you can watch aeroplanes from the window.A couple just sat sat by me when there's space on the other end so they could have left a gap. I wouldn't mind but the man is just wearing strong aftershave.

Woooo!

Anyway I've also decided when I see R tomorrow, I'm going to go and sit on his chair just to see what he says and I'm going to wear my cat tights.

I see her tomorrow after work. I'm doing better, thanks. I talked to one of my friends I just went to the sister weekend with yesterday and she helped a lot, she overheard h yelling at me when I talked to him on the phone at one point during the weekend and was really supportive and said some of the same things y'all said, it helps to hear it out loud reinforcing you guys y'know? She thinks I should not do anything except live my own life the way I want and if he leaves, he leaves its on him. He and I talked again last night and he said he just had all of that bottled up inside him since last summer. He didn't apologize but whatever. I am taking my friend's advice and pushing for marriage counseling because I do still love him and want help figuring out if what we have is worth trying to save. I'm unsure if it is, but I want it to be.

Lemoncake · Jul 18, 2018, 11:31 AM

I would also advocate for marriage counseling and think it's an avenue worth exploring. I hope he agrees.

I haven't used an electric one but they look snazzy in all the adverts.

fille_folle · Jul 18, 2018, 11:33 AM

T didn't move forward with getting me hospitalized this morning, but I have to go back in 4 hours. She keeps saying she has a responsibility to keep me safe

. But she also said that unless it's a place very familiar with my diagnosis, that my behavior might cause me to be prematurely discharged. I feel like such a freak.
