i may go out later and buy a pie dish and make some apple pie. Cooking used to relax me over the last 6 months nothing seems to give me much enjoyment anymore

My mother has just anxiously asked me if I will keep her informed of new Oreo flavors.
Tree, apple, but the tree doesn’t have celiac disease. |

Egg hunt. I hid 48; we found 47. I was coughing and felt like something stuck to the bottom of an old shoe, but I still climbed a tree to hide some up high. Then they all went to family for festivities and I stayed home and sat in the sun.

What am I going to do with my life? I told my therapist last week that I feel like I'm in a void of nothingness where I can't go back but there's nothing to go forward to either. My job doesn't bring me any satisfaction like it used to. I have virtually no personal life. I exist. And that's not enough for me. I continue to exist because I don't want to cause pain to the two people who my self-inflicted non-existence might cause pain to.

 I'm sorry you're struggling so much right now NP. I know this sounds stupid, but try to do one small thing that brings you joy every day.Even if it's just a simple cup of hot tea. Perhaps you could volunteer at a food bank or a charity. Something to help shift your focus. I don't mean this harshly, and i' sorry if it comes across like that but my depression has it's moments where it's bad because I live alone and 6 hours away from the house. I used to spend a lot of time with my youngest sister but now the focus is on me all the time. __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart.

I'm really afraid L is going to abandon me. I forgot until tonight that she mentioned that we should look for other supports. I'm so mad at myself that I trusted her. I know the financial problems are mine and not her, but looking back, it didn't seem like she was willing to come to any compromises unless I see her minimum every other week. I get it...if I only see her once a month, she'll have a hard time saving my time slot. She is running a business and needs to fill her time. And if she is willing to do a tab, she isn't willing to do it for long. I just feel so depressed. I apologize I didn't process this sooner. I guess all the stress has distracted me. I hate life right now. There just so much going on! And I'm truly afraid I'm going to lose L.

Live has dealt you a pretty rotten hand.

Couchies, could I have some advice? I'm wondering if this is something y'all would agree to.
I have already agreed to call T before I SH or when the SI is quite bad... and now he wants me to agree to call him before going to the ED. (I've only ever done this once in my life for psych reasons, and that ended up in me being admitted for a month.) He says it's because he wants me to avoid going inpatient, which I also want to avoid... and I suppose I should be glad he is signing on for more phone calls rather than fewer. But I also want to maintain some freaking autonomy. Like, surely if things are so bad that I am actually taking myself to the ED, he's not going to be able to do anything to talk me down? (This is relevant right now b/c I've been considering going to the ED and asking to be admitted b/c things are quite awful at present.) I dunno, what sayeth the couch? (And/or what sayeth @@'s new cat; not speciesist here.) |

In other news, BF came over and tried to be helpful and it was nice of him but actually I just felt worse because it didn't help at all. I feel numb and maybe also dead inside.

Can you ask her about these fears? Her saying you should look for other supports doesn't mean she's planning to abandon you. My T has also said I need to find other supports--I think it's a common thing for T's to do. They want us to have the ability to manage on our own or at least when they're not available. I understand your fears because I had a similar reaction when T was talking about finding other forms of support and methods of coping. He does consider PC to be one of those supports (and thinks of it as a support group), so I think this is one of them for you as well. But I think you should talk about your fears with L. Is it possible to see her this week? I know you said your H made you cancel your appointment, but it sounds like you could really use the help right now, if it's possible for her to let you carry a balance. If you've sold your house (hope that offer goes through!), then you'll have more money in the future. Or could you do a half session? |

In other news, I haven't *completely* lost my spark--this is the first slide for today's didactic session:

Morning couchies! (Yawn) man this old bod is sore after my fall on Saturday. I had to get up in the middle of the night and take a hot shower again. Will take another one at lunchtime. Ugh can't believe how sore I am just everywhere! I still think it was hilarious though even still....

In other news I dreamed that I went to L's house and she wasn't home and I took a shower, then was freaking out and had to gather up all my notebooks and the tomatoes that had spilled and get out of there before she got back.
Yeesh. But to be fair to myself that was before my sore bod woke me up to take a hot shower.... |
