Anyway I'm sorry you're feeling that way on top of being in a bad mood. Not fun. |

The time I canceled with T, he was like, "It would probably be better to come talk about it, but I respect your decision to cancel." I ended up seeing him a day after our scheduled (and canceled) session. |

I completely understand that, especially in light of her forgetting all the stuff about your story. Sorry you're in a bad mood. (if wanted). |

Oh crap. I feel depressed again. Not suicidal. But just I don't want to be awake and dealing with anything. One of my coworkers was like, you look tired. I was like, "yep. Plus I have a bit of a headache" (I got my new glasses and my eyes are not used to the prescription). But what I really wanted to say was, "I'm freaking depressed. Leave me alone!" But I didn't.

I do admire people who are strong enough/stubborn enough not to run away from things, therapy in particular. Not that I run away from everything, I mean hell I've stayed married for 22 years and I tend to stay with jobs for a long time too. But myself - I am always trying to run away from myself (therapy, CODA, even my drumming group to some extent). I guess that's just where I'm at right now.
I really would like to change that about me though. Last edited by Anonymous43207; Aug 12, 2019 at 05:49 PM.. |

The woman had a memory like a sieve. Sometimes she responded to when I took a break and sometimes she didn't. Her response when she did was always something like it might be better to talk about it - but I never found paying her to tell her how she ****ed up was all that useful to me. I also didn't consider taking breaks to be running away. It was usually to regroup over her general uselessness

I'm in agony. Just had to spend 15 minutes in making small talk with the GM/CEO. He's a nice enough chap, just I am not up to talking right now. I want to be in bed, under my weighted blankets with the lights out, dissociating so that way I don't have to feel this depression.

Write a syllabus for this course. The best syllabus submitted will be the one we use. Lesson one, exercise two, to be attempted by all students.

This is a really good question whether the root of the pain has been dealt with vs. patched up. My reaction a few hours after session today, with some feelings of despair--it suggests that it hasn't really been dealt with. I don't think this is all about my T, I think it's triggering other stuff from my past. Like his saying (in regard to my wanting to learn more about him) that my mind is like a steel trap, which is something my mom has said before too. Like there's something wrong with me because I have a good memory. |

Not that I’ve done that. No sirree. Not me. I would never. It is odd what people consider running away or not. I stayed in a bad marriage with 2ex too long because I didn't want to run away and in retrospect that turned out to be running away from making the decision to change.

My T said fairly early on that he worried I was smarter than he is. He's also seemed threatened by my knowledge about therapy. So, I can definitely see that. |

And that staying the course in the face that things are not going well is not always (or in my opinion even usually) the right thing to do. Remaining unhappy can be more fear of change than running away because something is hard - in my opinion. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
