I was just reading some of my own posts from about a year ago. How quickly things can change! And how time blends together in my head. I saw a post in which I talked about my therapist joking and saying, "you can buy your own chairs. I know I have nice chairs!." And it seems like he said that to me so much more recently than a year ago.

I miss him so much. I don't know what to do. The rest of my life is a long time...

I don't. I wish they could all be deleted BUT...I am just now seeing what happened with your T

How terrible, you are the second user here who had this happen recently. It's my worst fear.

I can't even imagine how you are feeling I am so so sorry.

Yes I read old posts and do not remember ever writing them.

I usually don’t. I’m sorry this happened.

I've gone back and read some old posts. Also old emails I sent to ex-T and ex-MC. And it's really kind of fascinating to see the difference in my tone. Like I think I remember things being better than they were. And I see how some of what I said to them in email and/or Dear T as being so...subservient. I'm not sure how much that says about my relationship with each of them vs. who and how I am today. But it's definitely enlightening.


And hugs, RaineD...

I read some of my old posts and think I was such a child. He didn't let me sit on the floor and that upset me so I said I wanted to bring him a rattlesnake! It was a joke, but still.

I miss him so much.

I dont normally but I did recently and so much of it broke my heart. T and I experienced so much together. I figure some day I will go back to it but right now it brings me so far down. It is the same with all her emails that I have saved for the last 5 years in a special folder.

Next to the loss of my mom. Losing my T is by far the most painful thing I have experienced.

Losing mine is definitely the most painful thing I've ever experienced.

He was such an angel. I don't know why I complained about him so much.

I actually try not to read my old posts, especially when ex-T abandoned me. They're super triggering. I have had others read my old posts and bring something to my attention.

I don't read my old posts on here, but I write down everything I remember about each session for myself on 3-4 pages usually. When I'm feeling down, I sometimes read random stuff from there. It makes me feel less alone and helps me remember things I thought were nice.

I'm sorry about what has happened. Don't beat yourself up about things you said, I'm sure your T appreciated to work with you and wouldn't have wanted you to feel bad about the way you acted.

((((((((((RaineD)))))))))))I haven't personally gone back and read old posts from here but I haven't been here that long. However, I have gone back and read old emails to/from my former T. And I have a couple of voicemails that even though they aren't applicable now, they still help me because I can hear her voice. Kit
