I thought there was id, ego, and superego. Where tf does true self fit in? I like the insertion of true self here vs weakness/distortion, but what part of me is it? I remember telling my t, "i cant take of myself." Thats my true self hiding from my negative (mother) interject. This is why i dont play Wordle. Therapy IS Wordle! |

Speaking of schools of thought -
Did you see the new yorker cartoon caption contest? The t is holding up a rohrschak test to his patient - a human size bottle of ink. My t was into rhorschak because his older brother did research on it. I basically was seeing Niles Crane. |

Randomly really miss my T today. I don't know if it is because we mainly did 2x a week therapy this Summer and I told her I was good for 1x a week right now. (That I would tell her if I got into crisis.) So I texted her and told her all of this. I told her I am okay. That I'm not sure why I am missing her right now but I suspect it is because we don't have a session this weekend. But I'm okay. Also, as I have met my out of pocket maximum, I do not have to pay her copays for the rest of the year! Yeah!

My 10-year-old laptop finally bit the big one. I bought a new one today, getting it set up now. They've certainly come down in price since I bought the old one I was happy to see that! Between working overtime as much as we do, and not paying L for the past 9 months, I was able to buy it from my Hawaii fund. But, that's okay, I'll get it built back up and get there one of these days. I'm kinda bummed that I couldn't get one with as big of a screen as my old one - but, I can just zoom the browser into 110% which works too. When the old one started acting up I bought an external hard drive and backed everything up so now I can pick and choose what i want to put on the new one, and what I'll just leave on the external drive. H just left on a job to a little town near the CA border so he won't be back til late tonight, I'm going grocery shopping now, then might pick up taco bell for dinner. Mmmm.
Hugs and headnods all around as appropriate! |

H had a brief period today where he was in that place again where I just don't know how to deal with him... so I tried what C suggested on Tuesday afternoon, that I just ask him what he needs from me. He said there's nothing you can do. But, he opened up about how basically he's been facing his mortality lately in a more concrete way than he ever has before. Which led to me understanding a lot more why he's acting like he is. We talked about it a little and I think it was helpful for him to get it out, because after that he seemed to be feeling better about life in general and then when work called offering him the delivery he's out on now, he was back to happy, he loves driving and listening to music on these long distance ones.

I'm so depressed, heartbroken, and full of grief.

Possible trigger:
I'm in so much pain. L and I were talking about my infertility today, and I said things I've never said before. I'm really struggling. __________________ "Odium became your opium..." ~Epica |

Hugs to you, Scarlet. I'm sorry you're struggling so much. I hope L was supportive. Sometimes, it can help to get things out that you're thinking, even if it's something you never thought you would say.

That sounds like a good discussion with your H and that the approach you used from C worked. Also, RIP to your laptop--10 years is an amazing run for one of those! I'm assuming you use a different one (or a desktop) for your job? Because I use mine for my freelance work, I can at least deduct a portion of the cost from our taxes. |

I have become re-inspired to start writing stories again. When I set up my new laptop last night, it knew so much because of having a gmail account (ooeeoo big brother) and it imported all kinds of stuff - including access to google docs where several years ago I had saved quite a bit of a story I had been working on at the time. Over half of the document is thoughts/plans/character development (there's a therapist in it and it appears that I was modeling her after L) and the rest is actual story. I printed it and I'm going to read through it and see if I can get back into the spirit of it, and actually finish it. From the little bit I already read, it shouldn't be hard to get back into it. I thought all of that writing was lost forever because I couldn't find it on old laptop - I'd forgotten I saved it to google drive.

Well I decided to continue another 8 weeks in the coaching/cbt thing and just changed my program and scheduled my next session, I'm going to do the social anxiety one this time. When I just went through the initial questions, I realized I guess I do struggle with it more than I realized... just, working at home I don't really deal with other people in person all that much. I will still have C as my coach which is good I feel like we have good conversations.
