Do you have any other support available?
I've looked into support groups, but as I live in a pretty isolated areas there are AA groups, anger management groups, and substance abuse groups but nothing for what I deal with. I can go to the hospital if things get worse, but I know they will just assess and send me home. That's what they always do. At best they keep me 8 hours or so. Current T doesn't even know I'm in a cycle yet. I could try calling the office to see if she would call me. I'm kind of scared to do that, but it might be an option. I'm making myself stick to my routine this week, like walking in the morning (which I skipped a bunch last week) and going to work (because I really want to call out). I'm trying to make myself do as much normal stuff as possible so I don't isolate and make it worse. But I pretty much crash and go to bed as soon as I get home and take care of the cats. I feel like I just have to let the cycle go until it's done. I could try emailing former T. I feel bad that she still has to deal with me because she isn't getting paid. I don't know. I guess I'm stuck. It's hard to think. Maybe I should call T's office. HUGS Kit

Why not call her? What part scares you?

Probably stupid stuff. Like what if she thinks I'm wasting her time? Like it wasn't a true emergency? Kind of like on Saturday when she said she didn't think I was truly SUI so I told her about my SUI attempt which was a few years ago. I only ever told my T after the fact, when I had survived. Like what if she doesn't believe me? I know these are stupid fears. But my head knows that, not my heart, and my heart can't take rejection, being pushed away, not being believed, her being irritated with me etc. And there's a little fear that the office staff would just refer me to the ER anyway. And also, what if I'm letting her down? I didn't make it to Pentecost. I relapsed and basically went back on my word. She might think I'm a failure. Maybe I think I am and I'm projecting. Argh. IDK. I'll stop rambling now.

For me, that's the scariest part of phoning someone.

Prof for my summer poetry writing class (starts 5/28) sent an email already with info about the course. I'm really excited, it's going to be fun. One of the things we'll be doing is making videos of ourselves reading our poetry and sharing them with the class. We aren't required to show our face if we're camera shy but they do have to be our voice reading our work. That will be interesting.

I have my art class and I am taking in my seascape that I have been struggling with for months I am really out of my comfort zone with it and I hope I don't cry when the teacher tries to help. I should stick to space, birds and fish I think.

So I'm sitting here in my empty apartment waiting for a delivery. I've made a ton of phone calls trying to donate my extra furniture. No one will take it except 1800-got-junk. Even the waste management wouldn't take it! It's good furniture too. Just too big for the apartment. I tried the church donations, goodwill, salvation army, local thrift shops, even habit for humanity!

And no one will take our husky! Not even the animal shelters. My stupid H put it off for too long. Now we have to pay for boarding until someone will take him.

In my case, if I call T which I'm still debating about, I'll either get the office staff, or get the answering service. Then they will call T and then possibly she would call me back. So it's not so bad talking to the office staff, depending on which one you get, but invariably they will say if it is an emergency you need to proceed to the ER. I think that is what the answering service says too. It's been awhile since I've called after hours, but my PDOC has the same answering service so I have talked to them in the past. Unfortunately when I have gone to the ER the answering service was unable to reach PDOC so that seems rather pointless.

I hope the professor gives good feedback and helps you improve your poetry.

What about craig's list? Is that still a thing? I know my sister used to get stuff off of craig's list...like free stuff or inexpensive stuff. I've never actually used it myself.

My sister tried helping us sell some stuff on craigslist. No one was willing to pay cash.
