In reply to Downtime-- Creeping in on Me Again, posted by Sarahmarie on May 27, 2002, at 0:21:04
Hi Everyone:
I am having a really hard time tonight. I was suppose to see my therapist, but she never called with an appointment time,so I didn't have therapy. I don't know when my next appointment is but have asked to please call me and let me know. I have this therapist off and on since 1989, the intervals where I saw someone else were very short-lived (like a month or two).
To complicate things, I really respect her and have a great deal of admiration for her skill. However, I also know that she is going through a hard time right now herself. She and her husband are therapists and lived in a two-story duplex, using the bottom section for seeing their patients. A couple of months ago, she switched her office to the upstairs duplex and he took the downstairs. The other two therapists in the group relocated. The reason for the change -- divorce. This is hard on me because my ex-husband and I did a joint therapy session with them, which was helpful. Also, her husband treated my youngest son through his turbulent high school years. She thought that they wouldn't have to sell the property, but now her ex-husband wants his investment out of it so he can be free to build his new life.
My therapist says that she is not depressed, but I have seen her long enough to recognize major depressive symptoms. Also, she has rapidly lost a lot of weight and dropped at least 3 sizes which would put her at 2 or 3. I must admit I am concerned about her and tonight I am in tears, because I don't know if she is okay or not. I have left two messages at her phone and she has not returned my calls, even though she told me she would. I don't know if this worry or concern is truly directed at her or an indication that my downtime is turning into depression AGAIN.I just took a Lorazepam and because I feel a migraine coming on I took two fioricet at the same time. No pain relief as of yet. Please Help --- I need to get through this night. Thank you. SarahMarie
