Dear T,
Got my formal rejection from the PhD program today, which I was expecting with it being so late. I didn't even react much to it. The other girl didn't get in either, but at least they told her to consider applying again (some funding issues apparently). Guess they didn't think I was good enough...But I'l be OK, if this had been 2 months ago, like shortly after my interviews, I'd have been crushed. But now? Eh. I don't even know that I'd want to deal with them as a student, they left me wondering (with no communication, ignoring occasional check-ins) for so long. Would it have killed them to at least tell me I was on the waitlist? Which apparently I was...

I know you said to e-mail (or text if good news) when I found out, but I bothered you enough yesterday. And bad news can wait. If I'd gotten accepted, sure I'd have e-mailed you. But this, eh...and honestly, I don't even feel the need to discuss it in session. I mean, I'll update you of course, but I don't want to use my time talking about that.

I knew when things were going so well, you would pull your BS again and "get spooked" this is such a frustrating and annoying pattern. I wish the rules didn't put such paranoia in you. I wish you could be honest with me like I am with you.

I really have to decide how much longer I can deal with your games

Sorry to hear you didn't get in. It doesn't automatically mean you weren't good enough, sometimes schools just have quotas to fill.
Thanks for this!

The more I think about how our next session is going to begin, the more anxious I get. Too much ****ing death, I tell you. Too much.

Wish I had chosen Wed instead of Mon or that I was good enough for 2x a week. Really down and crappy right now. I have no energy for anything. Wish we could talk but I know I'm not supposed to bother you

I feel like the world is collapsing around me and you’re not here to help.

You asked me to consider anxiety meds. I kind of want them; I want relief. However, I'm terrified of the side effects and scared they won't work.

My money is on you still being jetlagged, not 100% on top form and me ending up annoyed with you. I hope that doesn't happen.

I am struggling to do things that are new with people. I'm afraid that I will just want a sexual relationship. How do I be normal??

What's the definition of insanity again? When you repeat the same mistake over and over again expecting a different result?

No, that's called human nature.

Receptionist just called and asked if I can come 30 minutes earlier tomorrow. I said yes.
Did something happen?? Do you need to come home earlier? Are you okay? You'd like to cancel my session, not reschedule, right? I'm sorry you'll have to listen to my stupid stuff instead of being home
