I can't find his referral letter but it does state he is no longer seeing therapy clients.

Jul 23, 2019 at 07:04 PM

My shadow is having some very-not-me thoughts about that, BCM. I'm so sorry you're finding this out. Sending hugs.

Jul 23, 2019 at 07:08 PM

He has got rid of all his previous clients. I wonder what he is doing instead. He did say in the email he won't see anyone with acute or self harm issues. Maybe he is tired to that.

Jul 23, 2019 at 07:15 PM

Actually I don't think it was stupid at all I think it has now cemented in my mind the suspicions I had about him.

I am watching a youtube talk by a guy who came up with a program to get rid of emetophobia. The whole thing is one giant red flag. He hits on all the main points a con man would. Promises a cure, a few testimonials and description of how you have to believe in it enough for it to work. Grim. He probably has the comments disabled in case someone points it out

JaneTennison1 · Jul 23, 2019 at 07:26 PM

Oh here is the final red flag, the facebook page is a "positive" space only meaning don't talk about the reality of this nonsense

Sometimes I feel like I am screaming into the void. At the people I know.. like how are you guys ok? How are you calm? Do you not feel this inner frustration and turmoil that I do? Do you not feel this inner void that is constantly there? Do you not feel the need to run away with all your might? Do you not feel this inner loneliness? I feel stuck.. I feel angry.. What is it that I am missing?

Hugs to everyone, but specifically to BCM and Scarlet.

I'm running a low grade fever. I don't think I'll go to summer school tomorrow. I'll miss the cookout, though.

WarmFuzzySocks · Jul 23, 2019 at 09:36 PM

Hugs, Daisy. We can have a Couch cookout instead.

I'll bring hot dogs and buns.

Ooo, and homemade mustard for the hot dogs, thanks to stopdog. I made a hard cider-apple cider vinegar-maple mustard this time.

Jersey 4 · Jul 23, 2019 at 09:50 PM

I’ll bring the burgers. I like bubba burgers. I’ll bring veggie grillers for the couch vegetarians.

Jul 23, 2019 at 10:17 PM

My mind was so totally on burgers I typed BlessedCheeseBurger as my username lol
I will bring beetroot because a burger is not the same without it.

A really stupid part wants to continue the ruse with my ExT and eventually end up with a session at the end of the year. I am not sure what this would achieve besides wasting both our time and possibly risk some repercussions from exT. I jut want to teach him a lesson.

NP_Complete · Jul 23, 2019 at 11:37 PM

I'm feeling forgotten. He said in his letter he wouldn't forget me. But my husband said a lot of things too, like how he loved me, and those things weren't exactly borne out. Maybe I need to reread the letter again. Sigh.

Jul 24, 2019 at 12:01 AM

I feeling very upset now. I really feel bad that he had to lie to get rid of me and stop me coming back.

I went back up to the 10 mg of Abilify. I couldn't take the anxiety increasing with the decreased dose. Maybe I'll taper off another time, when I'm not under so much stress.

Har har.

Did some Google research and it turns out the recurrence rate for my type of cancer is more like 6.8%-8% according to sources like NCBI. The PA today said it was only 3%. I've just got a bad feeling about this.

I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the next week without blowing my diet big time. I only did okay today because I have minimal sweets in my house but I've got to go to the grocery tomorrow.

Thanks to those who have offered support. It helps me to know I'm not alone.

atisketatasket · Jul 24, 2019 at 12:39 AM

Can you go to the store when not hungry and/or at a fairly calm moment? Or is there grocery pickup or delivery near you?

I hope the results come back soon.

Somehow I missed this. Big hugs to you. I remember the stress when I was waiting for the results of my biopsy. Can you make a list and stick to it? Do you have confectionary free checkouts over there?
