Yes, exactly. Sorry your med guy said that. I've tried Cymbalta in the past and am trying to recall whether it made me sleepy. I know once I upped the dose, it caused twitching in my legs. And seemed to have negative psychological effects, but I can't recall whether I was on a second med at the time (that p-doc liked to switch around my meds a bunch). I did have that effect from Celexa and one of the other SSRIs (I know Cymbalta is an SNRI). Could you try taking it at night maybe? For me on meds in general, some side effects go away after a bit and others linger. How long have you been taking it? |

I get how the positive attitude can be annoying. With L, it sounds like she was validating and responding to specific things ex-T did rather than ex-T as a whole. I hope you found it validating. I'm glad she encourages you to talk to T. I appreciate that Dr. T is fine with me consulting with R, even at times when he's not on vacation. |

Had a really productive session with Dr. T today. He said today that we're both using different language to talk about transference and attachment, which makes it easier to discuss. That he thinks it stems from the "love" stuff discussions. How before that, it would seem like I was making a request of him, but now, it's more that I'm sharing feelings. I said it feels like we're each adapting to other, and he agreed.
I admitted how the younger part of me wished I could go on vacation with him. He said he was impressed that I was able to share that. And seemed accepting of it, where I think a couple years ago, he'd have reacted weirdly to it (I also wouldn't have said it then, for that reason). He said he knew I'd never actually ask him to do that. That we could just examine what's behind that want. Later, we were talking about how maybe the high school journalism teacher I was attached to was the actual starting point to the transference stuff. How maybe he met some need that my parents didn't meet. I said he seemed to believe in me and my abilities in a way they didn't. Dr. T said it was like my first hit of cocaine. And we discussed some other stuff around that (perhaps I'll post in IST later). It's given me a lot to think about. |

I should know to trust that theres a method to your madness.
LT - thats it! Thats why my fantasy of t cutting his lawn with me in a Snuggli. I was seeking attachment. But with my dad. My mother - geez, she just bumped into me like a couple three times a year. Seriously. |

I have a similar fantasies, too! One, I wish I was small enough to fit in her pocket so she can carry me around. Another is that I wrap my arms around her ankle and never let go (I actually did that with my therapist when I was 14).

I'm really glad your session went well, LT. I bet that was really good timing for you, that you needed it. It's also a relief? that Dr. T is start to understand and accept transference.

It felt kind of liberating to share it. I said how if I didn't share things like that, they were still in my head. But I got the message from my parents to not talk about stuff like that, of course. |

Yes, it was a weekly summer fantasy! Then when you consider our relative sizes. Like sammy davis toting the former fat al roker. Well except t wasnt that small and i wasnt that big. T would just look at me, dictionary definition picture of "quizzically"!
