Stupid

You can't call his office?

he's in a big big clinic place.youd have to call the office.maybe i can call the office and ask them for an appt sooner?can stuff work like that?thanks lol

Give it a try. Cannot hurt to see if there is an earlier date. There may be some cancellations that will allow you to be seen sooner.

Yes! Please call! You can't get what you need unless you ask and it doesn't ever hurt to ask............

but then im afraid when i get there he's goin to ask why..and i just cant cant cant explain my thoughts/feelings.i get nervous and idk what to say.and things always come out wrong

carrie, perhaps it would help to write each day how you are doing and bring it with you to the therapy session? If nothing else, you could look over what you wrote before going.

You said you did not think you were getting anywhere in therapy. Have you told your therapist that you have trouble opening up and need more help to make progress?

Good luck.

THen tell him this.........

How are you, carrie?

Sorry for not replying. Been busy for a few days but also think I was avoiding this. My moods been up and down. When I felt ok I thought I was just lying about my down feelings like they weret there and I was just exaggerating.not sure how to explain it. And only now when I don't feel great can I admit this.
I have kept a diary of thoughts moods sleep etc . I brought it with me to the appt but was too scared to give it to him. Afterwards I felt like such a coward . I really don't have an excuse I should just give him the book or tell him. But I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what he's going to think ,what he's going to ask and that I won't be able to dignify any answers.he thinks I'm fine so do my parents and everyone. They would be let down so much if they knew I had these feelings .

It's okay Carrie. Sometimes we have to have a few chances before we are brave enough to do something. Try again! When is your next appt.?

You would let them down if they knew that you had these feelings? Well, you have these feelings so what else can be done about them? You need to tell your T. Everyone else is the adult here. They can handle it.

You feel the way you feel. You don't have to dignify anything.

So you called and got an earlier appt.? Very good work!

((((((((((( carrie )))))))))))

You can do this carrie. You can!

My next appt is still in April. Still not feelin great and moods/thoughts very unusual for me today. I'm not sure how to describe them. Also found out that my friend is still having her own on going problems and everyone is worried for her. I feel so wrapped up in my own world I didn't even notice
Thankyou everyone for your kind & thoughtful words they're not going amiss

Carrie, can you call for another earlier appt.?

Yea I think I could but im still nervous about askin for one because I'm afraid they're jus goin to say I'm fine and I'm overeacting

Go ahead and ask, carrie. The worse that can happen is they will say there are no earlier openings. A thought. Ask to be put on the cancellation list. If someone cancels before your appointment, they call you and if you can make you fill the cancellation slot.

Good luck.

Have they ever told you this before?

my T had told me i've over reacted about things before but I'm sure if that's the same thing. I think the reason I'm so aprehensive about making an ealier appt is cause that's what I think. That I'm jus over reacting. I tend to jus put on a persona to others so no one else knows how I really feel. I know I probably amn't making a lot of sense. Thanks to the people who have continuely posted in this thread with advice. I relise I seem unreasonable I'm jus scared and unsure

How about making an earlier appt. and then going in and being really honest with no fake persona and let your T know what is really going on and that you need help?
