therapy, thinking and feeling ....breathing

Why do you want to quit therapy? What's happened?
Can't quit thinking, and unfortunately quitting feeling results in emotional bottling... and that's not fun to fix when you want to feel again.

And you're going to continue breathing. That's not a question or a request. That's a fact.

Please take care of yourself.

well one thing you are in charge of is your own therapy. And sometimes you might have good reason to quit. But it's worth a thought to see if there is anything underlying that that could be resolved with the therapist before you make that decision. Which of course, is yours to make. Yes, keep breathing that's sometimes all we can do.

Thanks for the replies and encouragement. I did some journaling and I think when I read it to her next week she will get a good idea of where I stand and we will definitely need to talk about our relationship and therapy.
Sometimes I just get so sick of the whole thing and I get confused and I don't know what to do...the hopelessness gets overwhelming.
Take care, and thanks

Journaling is such a great idea...good for you!

I can soooo relate to this statement. I was so overwhelmed by all the stuff going on in my head the last few weeks that I canceled my session this week thinking it would give me a break from it..... IT DIDN'T. In fact it created a lot more "stuff" and I am feeling more lost now than earlier in the week. At this point I am so upset with my T's lack of response that I am totally done with it all and not planning on going back at all.

If you are really considering taking a break from the process, I would recommend talking with your T face-to-face first. Explain that you are overwhelmed and talk about it. That way if you do actually stop for a while it is more of a planned break, than a knee jerk break.

I second this relating to the overwhelm. ANd chaotic, this is good for me to know - I have been thinking of calling and cancelling too. I will have to re-think this. things can't get worse.... i won't make it.
