I am sorry Hope.

Shotokan Karate · Feb 28, 2019, 12:45 AM

Hope I am sincerely sorry for what you are going through. I hope things work out for you. I am also sorry if I offended you in anyway. That was not my intention at all. I wish you only the best. I should have not asked for your post to be taken down.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I’m just trying to do the best I can but I’m falling apart.

Hope, please continue to post. In fact, when you want to email him, post to us. What do you think? Use us as a distraction.

Excellent idea! Is everyone sure they can put up with me?

Posting on here instead of emailing t is a great idea

Personally, I would rather you post here than email. Post as much as you like. I think that is something we'd all support. Maybe make your own thread like LT did. Then you can post about anything and everything (just keep it within a therapy context so it doesn't get moved).

Yep! And I do this too. I made my own thread too. It does help.

Hope, I really feel for you because I had a horrible telephone addiction. Whenever I got angry, sad, or just curious, I would make calls to people or about them and people would find out about what I had been doing and get angry with me. So, I really understand temptation. It got to a point were I couldn't even work at certain places because of where I called. That's when I saw (decades later) that my calling behavior was interfering with my life.

I really know how hard temptation is and that feeling of desperation just sucks!

I am sorry for what you are going through.

I think the doctor shouldn't have given out his email address, if he doesn't want to be emailed. Then, both of you would not have this problem.

Shotokan Karate · Feb 28, 2019, 02:38 AM

You can get quicker feedback too!!

hopealwayz · Feb 28, 2019, 02:55 AM

I don’t even want to email him at all right now. I still don’t even know if I want to see him next Wednesday. I’m scared.

hopealwayz · Feb 28, 2019, 03:02 AM

I guess I am okay with the no email rule.

It’s something I would miss but he was never an email person so he never responded so I don’t think it will take too long to overcome.

Plus, I found this guy who said that he would drive me to my appointments for a certain amount each week. So now I should be able to go weekly.

hopealwayz · Feb 28, 2019, 03:07 AM

I honestly don’t know what to do about my therapy appointment on Wednesday. I still feel shut down after last session. How do I learn to open up to him again?

Shotokan Karate · Feb 28, 2019, 03:47 AM

Maybe you should go and tell him that you were so upset that you didn't want to go. Ask him for suggestions. If you really don't think it would work out, maybe try someone else.

You’re right- I should go and then be honest about not wanting to come. I would like to work things out with him. But I know it’s going to be a slow process to open up again. I don’t think I’ve ever just shut down in therapy before.

You have to pay someone to drive you to therapy? God, that sucks! I'm sorry. It seems like that person is taking advantage of you.

Under*Over · Feb 28, 2019, 08:59 AM

Yeah I think posting here is a great idea.

That is the only person willing to drive me. Everyone else in my life acts like it isn’t important for me to go to my appointment.

Shotokan Karate · Feb 28, 2019, 10:37 AM

Hope, you could go to your session, and show him the other thread. You could print it out for him to see. What do you think about doing that?

Is your doctor close to where you live? I was thinking that it might be better to just take a taxi if you have to pay anyway. A taxi wouldn't cost too much, if your appointment is nearby. I don't trust Uber; there have been to many bad situations in our area with them.

hopealwayz · Feb 28, 2019, 02:18 PM

A taxi and Uber costs way more. So going with him is much cheaper.

We don't know that. Not everybody is financially secure enough that gas money is only a small portion of their budget. And we don't know how far they have to drive to get hope to her appointment.

hopealwayz · Feb 28, 2019, 02:56 PM

It’s helping him too since he lost his job when he got injured.

He also has to sit and wait for an hour for me to get out. So I think paying him is fair for his time.

Taylor27 · Feb 28, 2019, 06:51 PM

Hugs i hope you continue to post on here it is much better then to e-mail plus you will get more support in between appointments. I sure feel supported here. Hugs
