I wish...fill in the blank.

I wish my T wasn't sick and I could call her and tell her the things I'm worried about, even though they may seem trivial. Instead I am sitting here eating a bagel, and have bitten my lip TWICE in the same spot, so painfully that tears came to my eyes, and I had to use a paper towel to slow the bleeding. My birthday is tomorrow; I'll be 59, but "Little Cool" needs some comfort.

I wish cancer would just...die out. Found out last night that another old friend has a form of cancer. He's also bipolar, and I am worrying about him a lot. I wish my T didn't have cancer, so I could express myself to her about my friend, without it feeling weird to me.

I wish my cat, Betty, wasn't missing. We haven't seen her in two days, and she doesn't go outside, so we figure she must be somewhere, sleeping. She's over 12 and has had some health issues, but she is also a very sound sleeper and may not hear us calling her. I wish my T wasn't sick so I could call her and tell her this. She is a cat-lover and understands. In the years that I've been seeing her, we both have had animals that have died. I really hope that when we (my spouse and I) find Betty, she's still alive.

I wish my brain was not broken so I did not need a Therapist.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.

I wish my experience with P wasn't still playing into how I'm currently experiencing R. I wish I didn't have to wait a week to address some of the fallout from our meeting yesterday.

I wish T had never moved so she wasn't in a hone with basement stairs that didn't have a door. I wish T didn't sleep walk and fall down the basement stairs that awful night. I wish T was alive.

I wish my mom was a live.

I wish I could hit a reset button and forget all my trauma.

I wish I hadn't lost a part of myself as a child to my childhood. And I wish I wasn't aware of this.

I wish it didn't take so much work to stay on a relatively even keel, and I wish I didn't think that some normal life things are harder for me than other people.

I wish I hadn't lost people I loved to cancer. Cancer seems to usually be a cruel and painful death, and the medical treatments may be worse than the disease.

I wish that there weren't so many people traumatized by the people who were supposed to care for and protect them, and that this world was more peaceful than it used to be. I wish I could see peace as a potential within my lifetime.

I wish my former T hadn't gotten sick with MS so she could still be my T.


I wish I didn't feel sad all the time.


I wish that there would be more hugs in the world.

I wish my therapist and i still lived in the same country. I miss her so much. Having phone calls and skype is just not the same as in person, nor yearly or bi-yearly visits.

I wish my job could be just a bit easier.

I wish I would have been born to different parents and could be normal.

I wish my T had a magic wand that could fix my twisted brain and remove all the after effects of my lifetime of trauma.

I wish today, daytime, (nice day outside), would never end. So tired of facing another day. I wish I could comfort my best friend instead of her trying to comfort me. So ashamed.

I wish my T didn't have cancer. I wish he wasn't sick. I wish he wasn't dying. I wish I could continue seeing him for another 20 years. I wish we didn't have to terminate so he could teach me motivational interviewing. I wish he would get better.

I wish that I didn't have to choose between 2 therapists right now...I want my cake and to eat it too.

I also wish that H would get his head out of his butt and stop being such a pos.
