NP, I'm glad your therapist emailed. It sounds like he wants things to be okay and is wiling to work to make that happen (even if he was, imho, insensitive in his earlier email to you).
Lemon, there is no shame in bringing beverages to parties--I brought eggnog to a Thanksgiving party last night and felt completely fine about it. Ended up finding lots to talk about in session. I've got to give my T credit, he knows how to move towards areas of difficulty and tension. Kind of like a massage therapist... except massages usually feel relaxing lol. |

Thanks Lemoncake. Yeah, I'm at work now. I'm kind of bored at the moment which doesn't help my mood, but I'm hoping things get better.

I was feeling so bad last night (sui thoughts) that I thought about going to the hospital. I didn't though. One I didn't really have a plan. I have a sort of stupid plan that I don't even think would work. But not a very concrete one. So I figured what would happen is that I would probably spend the night in the freezing ER just to get sent home again. And then if I did get admitted, I'd be there over Thanksgiving and that would just suck for me, for my parents, and I didn't want to mess that up. So I took extra xanax (but still within the prescribed range) and went to bed early. I'm not feeling great today. But I managed not to SH. One of the friends that I reached out to was very pleased for me that I didn't SH. Funny....I don't really care right now if I did or didn't. But I guess it's good that I didn't. Not sure how I am going to get through today. But I'm having communion tonight and maybe that will help my mind reset. HUGS to all, Kit

Spotted on Twitter:
“True story: came in with a cold one day and my therapist handed me some tissues, at which point I noticed he had boxes of them all over his office. "Do you get a lot of colds?" Therapist looked at me strangely.

H took off to drive I think or just to test his car in the snow. We got about a foot last night. I haven't heard from our caseworker regarding the visit today, so I cleaned my house just in case he still comes. I guess I'll find out in 20 minutes if he shows or not.
ETA: Guess H was right and the CPS caseworker didn't show today. I wonder if that means we won't have a visit this week since he'll have to call and reschedule. Last edited by SheHulk07; Nov 26, 2019 at 03:36 PM.. |

NP, I'm glad your T sent you another email. Maybe he realized how harsh the other one sounded. Hope your talk goes well.

I'm feeling melancholic. I'm not totally sure why.

I suppose it could. I'm just having Thanksgiving with my roommate and a friend of hers so that'll be low-stress. I'm working in the ICU over Christmas but I'll be going home to visit my parents when I have a week off in early December.

As a child and even as an adult, i was ostracized for similar behavior, and therefore my only reactions were to either ostracize others, or allow too much. Working with a t may give one the opportunity to develop effective boundaries. |

Can't seem to get out of this depressed head space I'm in. I'm trying so hard but it is so heavy. I see T tomorrow. I don't know if it is even going to help. My head is telling me that no one cares, even though I know for a fact that isn't true. I'm afraid to reach out to friends IRL because I reached out to them yesterday. And one of them called me this morning to make sure I hadn't SH-ed which I didn't, and she was so relieved. I forget that other people think it's a big deal. TBH I don't know why I haven't SH-ed except maybe I don't want to have to explain it to Regular T or Pastor T. I'm struggling so much right now but I can't seem to get myself to feel a little bit better. Work is slow too which is not helping. And I don't want to talk to my coworker too much about my depression because then it makes me the employee that is a "freak" and I don't want to go there. But it's like I'm screaming on the inside but no one can hear. I don't know if I can even explain this to T tomorrow. I just want to walk in there and be like,

Good thing i dont keep very sharp knives. Then again, if the knife had been sharp, maybe this wouldnt have happened. I had the seedless half of an avocado this morning in a salad, then this afternoon i went to make avocado on rye, and as i whacked the seed with the knife, the knife bounced and durn near sliced off my thumb! I have another avocado for tomorrow and a head or two of celery. Also cherry tomatoes - i dont cut those!

Ugh.
I just got home from the doctor because I had a little spot on my collarbone that wouldn't heal. He made the face. You know, the "yeah, sorry, not so good" face, which is the face they make when it's definitely not good news but it's mostly going to be a pain in the, well, literally a pain in the neck, I guess. (I totally didn't even plan that. Heh.) He said it's almost certainly basal cell carcinoma, and the choices were for him to give me a referral to see the dermatologist, which takes 3-4 months, or for him to biopsy it right then and there, in which case they'll get me in to remove it next week. Kind of a no-brainer. He did hesitate over the bandaids before passing over the plain ones in favor of a bright pink one. So, a tiny win. Also, still not divorced, and have a meeting with my attorney next week. I keep thinking I am not sure how much more I can handle, and then I just keep not melting into a puddle of goo. So there's that, I guess. __________________ Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by accidents of time, or place, or circumstance, are brought into closer connection with you.
