It's that time of year....shortening days, less energy, cold weather and then soon, streets with snow and ice. I had planned to seek a new T towards the end of the summer and that's gotten away from me in terms of having a plan. And now, I can feel that I'm battling some low-grade depression, which makes finding a new T even that much more difficult. It takes energy to make appointments, get out and test drive some T relationships. I know that once I do and I find a good professional, I can take up where I left off with the T who disappeared on me.

I just know that the effort could be well spent, but it takes effort to start this whole process, and I am having a tough time summoning it up. Plus, I still feel confused and deflated by the fact that my T hasn't returned, and hasn't had the skill, class, time, inclination or whatever to let me know (and I've stopped obsessing about this for the most part; it feels pretty good to be at least in the process of letting it go).

But finding a new T feels about as fun as car shopping at this point in life. Maybe if I make a few appointments, I'll feel more energized overall.

I realize this isn't a very illuminating or important post but there you have it!

it's ok not to go looking for a T at the moment. Do it whrn you're ready.

End of thread. This reply is so simple and so true. I am going to lurk here on these boards and pursue this when I am ready.

I think you’re also allowed to post. It’s good not to go to therapy until ready. You’re certainly more than welcome in any of my threads.

I think it's good that you recognize this might not be the best or most ideal time for therapy. Therapy requires more than showing up, so if you're not "into it", it's probably best to delay. It's good that you know yourself well enough to know this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
