It's fascinating to hear how others cope. I don't cope very well I'm afraid to say. My appointments are late afternoon. Once I've driven through the traffic I just want get home to my bed. And I just curl up in a little ball and lie there and think. Sometimes I have to go and fetch my kids, (if they are not at home) and that is awful. My mother ALWAYS asks "so how was your "session"? It drives me nuts!!! Or worse - "What did you talk about?" As if I am going to tell her!!! All I want to do is get out of there and not talk to anybody and just be with myself and my thoughts. Sometimes I cry because I love my psychiatrist very much, he is like a father to me and I miss him terribly in between visits. (I only see him 2x a month).
So I find "winding down" very difficult. I also usually also think about things I should have said or forgot to say.
Ugh!!! The day after a session for me is the worst. I normally fax him the next day with things I have thought about and to tell him how awful I feel, that I miss him. Then I feel guilty for being a nuisance!!! Can I ever win?
