My poor therapist. The last two times I've seen him I've been a wreck, having lost one of the feral kittens I tried so hard to save and I cried throughout most of the appointment.
This time I'm bring a trunk load of grief. Losing Tegwen and Sian, Joe dropping out of the race (I'm THRILLED about Kamala - just still adjusting) and a non blood related family member kicking me in the solar plexus when I was deeply grieving, and telling me she no longer considers me family. Oddly, I can deal with that and have cut off all avenues of contact with her. Still, it was a shock. I haven't been eating or sleeping, nearly enough, for the past two weeks.
I am bringing LOTS of tissues.
Three more weeks until my medication assessment. That can't come soon enough.

(92,705 posts)Is there some way you could increase the frequency of visits with this therapist? I have flexibility and can have as many visits as I need, I go once a week and usually with a full menu of issues to discuss.
I hope you can get through this with more relief and confidence each day. It's a tough row to hoe right now. Things should improve for everyone by the holidays.
