> I needed to feel better after tonight's session. I wanted to feel better. Not worse.

> I told my T this is how I was feeling. He kept me an extra 10 minutes. I think he was trying to make me feel better, but it didn't work. Or maybe I just worried him. I think he looked worried. :(
>
> I can't handle the anxiety. There are too many thoughts in my head. He told me I'll be okay or I'll figure things out or something like that. I got upset at that. Why is it always up to me to be okay? I just wanted him to take care of me today.I don't think it feels good either to have ppl tell me I'll be okay, or I can figure things out, esp. when I'm feeling so bad. It makes me feel dismissed. It sounds like even though he was worried and kept you after, that the reassurances just weren't enough. I'm sorry that it hurts so much. Does it help to do anything in particular when things go so bad? Writing out your feelings, taking a long walk, exercise, music, anything?
You do have a long wait till next appt., why so long? I hope you find something that can quell the painful thoughts and anxiety.
