It made the NBC Nightly News last night!

I am frustrated. I am clearly missing something internally but keep seeking it from external sources.

Hopping in, omers.

When do you next see T?

Hi Lemoncake. I see T next on the 30th, so a little over a week away. I really feel like calling the office to see if she would call me back but I really need to figure out what I would say before I do that. I mostly want to hear her voice and be comforted, but I don't think that's going to happen. HUGS Kit

Anyway, pocket riders would be appreciated... this is going to be a darned if you do darned if you don’t kind of session. Pretty much no matter what happens with T today part of me is going to be crazy unhappy with it.

I'll hop in Omers

I'm with you, Omers!

Lemon, I've got one more hour. 7:30 am - 1 :00 pm

Sometimes it is hard to feel that life is not out to get me. All this inner turmoil is hard to handle. I wish I was more emotionally independent and patient.

I think you need more support than what your current T can provide you with. The gaps between your sessions are too long and you have been struggling a lot. Especially over Easter too.

You are where you are right now and that's okay. One day you won't need the extra external validation and will be more independent.

How have you been?

Are you still with your old T?

I hope you get back home safely.

Deep cleaned the house today - I feel so much better now that it is extremely neat.

I'm thinking about signing up to take a Spanish class at my local community college. I always wanted to learn and it will give me something to do.

Sitting here reworking my syllubi. Why do I reinvent the wheel every year? Always room for improvement. I think I'm on hour 8 or so. Haven't even gotten to the course they added to my load this year. My brain hurts.

Why do you reinvent the wheel? Because you're a good teacher

Hope your brain stops hurting!!!

Today in funny Dr. T moments. I was starting to talk about how my child part is feeling, then added “though I know you don’t really work with parts stuff.” Dr. T: “well, I like fried chicken. That comes in parts.” I laughed and said, “Well, here’s what the wing thinks...” I know it was clear I was really stressed about the topic (fears with him going out of town again), so the humor helped. And I was able to share what I was feeling. Even saying how my child part feels like saying, “Don’t leave me!” (While adult part knows he deserves vacation). He accepted all that well. And said how I don’t need to say all the stuff about his deserving vacation. It helped to be able to talk about it.

penguinh · Jul 22, 2019 at 01:55 PM

I should try harder to better myself instead of choosing the easy route of self destruction. I mean who am I really hurting, if not myself and my body.

Omers · Jul 22, 2019 at 02:18 PM

Thanks pocket riders! Awesome T was awesome... still coming down from session but will post more later.

SlumberKitty · Jul 22, 2019 at 02:21 PM

I think I took too much anti-anxiety medication this morning. I was trying to get through work but I mostly just feel drowsy and unmotivated. I want to go home. But my parents are there and they would be all like why are you home in the middle of the day and not at work?!!

Lemoncake · Jul 22, 2019 at 02:36 PM

If you can go home early maybe it would be best to do so.. A simple you're not feeling well would be enough. You don't have to go into any detail.
