Okay. I took way too many pills (not a lethal overdose by any means, just enough to get me out of ME. Ugh! ME!!!!) and left a message on T's phone and told him that I wish I could fold him up and put him in my pocket and pull him out whenever I need him (like now).

I also told him that what I really want to do in session is curl up under a blanket and just BE THERE, but I feel like I should try to seem okay and so I put on an act of "I'm okay" for him whenever I can (when I'm not dissociating, etc.). I mean, there are definitely times when I am honest, and I let myself feel whatever I'm feeling - but my "Don't talk, don't feel" habit is SO INGRAINED that I fall into it without even really meaning to. Like, I almost can't help it sometimes.

I'm about to go on a vacation, so I won't see T for 11 days. I just want to play in therapy on Thursday (last session before vacation) because I want to feel safe and connected before I go. So, it's an Uno day, we already decided.

I have no idea what the point of this post is. Guess I'm just reaching out to connect with someone.

I have so been there.... more times than I can count. I understand but can I say just please be careful?

I do this too... I think by doing this we maintain some sense of order in the midst of chaos...........

Your idea for a pocket therapist is priceless!!

My prayers are with you..

A pocket therapist is a great idea! The closest I got to that was a friend giving me a "Grow A Therapist" (you know, put it in water and it grows lol). You wouldn't have to grow it, just stick the little guy in your pocket. Pocket Therapist

Thanks for connecting with me.

Love the pocket therapists - especially the UNO edition! That was awesome. I needed a giggle.

I'm pretty sure I called T and told him some things I've been doing lately that he hasn't been aware of. Not sure why? I don't know if I'm asking for help or trying to scare him away. I have a feeling he's not going anywhere, so hopefully, he'll help me.

Hugs to everyone. I really needed some replies and I REALLY appreciate all of you.
