My therapist shares a small (like 2 chairs and a wooden bench) waiting area with another office that is apparently shared by two female therapists. On my trauma anniversary last year, I was feeling very suicidal and my therapist wanted me to meet with him in person. It was a Saturday. The building he is in is locked on weekends so the therapists have to come down and let you in. So I arrived at the same time as my therapist did. There was another guy waiting at the door and I guess he asked if my therapist could let him in. His therapist had just arrived via the elevator, so the four of us got back on the elevator. Everyone was apparently going to the third floor. Client guy seemed pretty chipper because he tried to make small talk on the short ride up. When we got off the elevator everyone started walking the same way. Weird, I thought, but whatever. It soon became apparent that we were all going to the same office. Client guy chimes in with "Hey, we're all going to the same place! Are we going to have a joint session?", joking obviously. My therapist didn't say anything. I had no idea what to say, but inside I was screaming "Nooooooooo!". Three hours prior I was having a suicidal crisis and was not really in a joking mood. I felt kind of bad for the guy though, because he was trying to be friendly and nobody was having it. Just a really weird experience altogether.
Then after our session, I ended up on an up elevator. A family got on and back down we went. When the elevator got back to my therapist's floor, he got on. We stood in silence for a few moments then he turned to me to say something, but before he could say anything I blurted out "the elevator went the wrong way" and everyone on board laughed. It was a weird day. |

I am sure I am not the only one that feels this way.. I am stuck in the i don’t deserve the care I get from t. I mean to me I pay him for the appointment times, and the insight I get from him regarding my issues. But the other things.. but to get the side of t who is caring towards me in session, offers outside contact in times of crisis, even says as part of my safety plan for this weekend.. he will come into the office over the weekend if I need him. That part, I don’t feel like I deserve. Or it’s too much.. or I should’t need that extra stuff.

Hey, its called manic-depressive. At any given time, some of us are manic and some are depressed. Kinda funny when you think about it. I mean, any other clinic, you probably do not have half the patients up and the other half down. Like nobody says, yeah those liver transplant people are always hooting it up. KWIM?

Tonight I'll be sending my last email to T. Monday is my last session. I'm going to miss her so much! I'm so sad! But for some reason, I'm numb. I'm not even crying. I should be crying! I want to cry, but I can't.

Hi Couch.
Feeling overwhelmed today. April is imminent, and the few things I rely on for support grind to a halt. It's only a week, but it feels really hard. Also a friend shared something with me that I don't feel equipped to handle right now. I emailed R this morning, before my friend told me. I feel like it was incoherent, and may make her feel guilty, but that was not my intention. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |
