Thanks, LT.

It didn't.

After it was over, I sent him this email:

Dear T,

It feels like you’re performing an operation without anesthetic, and when I cry out, you give me a belt to put between my teeth.

Hugs, I'm sorry...That's a very vivid analogy. I hope he gives you some sort of helpful reply. If you want to share more about it, feel free to PM me.

Okay, who had "chihiro's therapist being a ****" in the Couch pool?

He thinks clients should be able to handle whatever and then do it. You're not in that place right now. He's not going to get you there.

We need a bingo sheet, I think.

atisketatasket · Nov 02, 2020 at 02:08 PM

The center square should be "Info wears an outfit with cleavage." Automatic.

Perhaps we can add "Dr. T breaks an email or texting boundary that he created."

or perhaps "Dr. T mentions something about a current or past client." (or, today, his "very good friend," which is making me think of Kramer on Seinfeld suddenly-- "My good friend Bob Sakamano...")

or "Dr. T says something that hurts LT, LT thinks about leaving, but ends up staying."

daisydid · Nov 02, 2020 at 03:39 PM

I propose two possible squares for bingo: daisy gets a new therapist or daisy goes inpatient.

chihirochild · Nov 02, 2020 at 03:52 PM

SD says "ack" or asks us to get off her lawn or (correctly) accuses Una of being a Freudian

@@ teaches us a cool new word

LonesomeTonight · Nov 02, 2020 at 03:56 PM

And OK, two more for me:
"LT emails Dr. T"
"LT asks for an extra or earlier session (or half-session)."

ArtieTheSequal · Nov 02, 2020 at 04:01 PM

I suppose I don't even need to say what my square says

comrademoomoo · Nov 02, 2020 at 04:06 PM

"comrademoomoo makes a new friend". Game ruined for everyone.

Is there really no other therapist you can hire? This guy is a jerk and he does not sound like he is helping you.

ScarletPimpernel · Nov 02, 2020 at 05:35 PM

I have a low grade fever

Teladoc wants me to stay home until next Wednesday. That means I miss my in-person session with L tomorrow. This sucks. The doctor doesn't think it's Covid or the flu, just some virus I somehow picked up, but I still have to be cautious. I'm super sad.

I hate going to the doctor when i feel off because i just cant describe what is wrong and in the past doctors have put it down to my depression. Unless its something concrete like gastro symotoms i cant really say whats wrong even pain i dont know how to dedscribe my pain. So i dont really go to doctors anymore because they usually brush things off by saying its mental health related.
I went to the chemist to have my bp checked every month and it was fine but i guess i only went on the days when i was feeling up to going out. The doctor i saw wasnt my usual doc and suggested i get a machine for home to check but i feel i migth become obsessed with it.

When I talked to my parents on my lunch break, they said I had two big boxes waiting for me at home. I think these are the boots that I ordered!!!! So excited. I haven't bought new boots in probably four or five years so it is time. I splurged and got 4 pairs because they were between $33 and $45 each. And I got a pair for my sister for Christmas. More excited about mine though than hers.

Polibeth · Nov 02, 2020 at 06:40 PM

Just got a call from my primary care physician. It turns out she wanted to make sure I got my flu shot - but she called me herself (not the nurse or other office staff). I thought something must be wrong but nope, she just wanted info on the shot. Strange.

Of course, now I feel bad that I haven't seen her in over a year so I should probably schedule an appointment.
