Hi,
I have a doctor's appointment today, and a procedure that I am really, really frightened about, where they are going to do an involved test/procedure/treatment in a private area of my body. I won't go into details because I don't want to trigger people. Anyway, it has really been scaring me for a long time, waiting for this. It is really, really , really *really* hard. And harder yet - I wasn't able to find a ride, or anybody to go with me. Even my counselor is out of town! I'd hoped I could talk to him afterwards, or make an appointment soon or something. eek. Because I think I am going to be really messed up. It is hard to think of doing this alone and being messed up alone also. I have been wanting to hurt myself a lot and I have not done so, partly because I can't hide it during the procedure and I can't explain it (I'll probably be wearing one of those fashionable hospital gowns <G>). But also I haven't been self-injuring and I keep trying to stay away from it. And I know my counselor says somehow it hurts him when I hurt me, and I really like him, and I don't want him to hurt, although I don't understand that. But boy, it is really hard, and I really want to do hurting things to myself just now. But I am not doing that. And pretty soon I need to get ready to go to this appointment and I am upset and scared and....ick. Oh well....thanks for listening. Take care, ErinBear

Thank you Wendy. The appointment went worse than I expected. It was really, really hard. I am *so* wishing my counselor were in town and I could call him. This is very hard. Anyway thanks for listening. And thanks for thinking of me.
Take care, ErinBear

Thanks Fuzzybear - and hey - I love your graphic! (I'm very fond of teddy bears, as you might guess).
Take care, ErinBear

ErinBear,
I hope the procedure went well. You are in my thoughts right now. Take care dear one, Carrie <font color=green>But the implicit and usually unconscious bargain we make with ourselves is that, yes, we want to be healed, we want to be made whole, we're willing to go some distance, but we're not willing to question the fundamental assumptions upon which our way of life has been built, both personally and societally.--Bill Plotkin, Soulcraft |
