Ouch. I hate to see my therapist on my caller ID on the day of therapy (or the day before, or anytime I don't call him first). Even if it's just to put it off a day, it sets me off balance. And then I always feel sorry for him too.
Now talk about totally unreasonable. I called him today to tell him how badly I was doing and that I wasn't sure that it was yesterday's session or the new medication. He'll generally offer to see me if he has any free time. He must not have today, because he offered to see me tomorrow instead of Friday. Now it's completely unreasonable of me to be disappointed because we didn't even have an appointment today, and because I know he would have offered if he could have. Instead, I took extra klonopin and slept for a couple of hours before starting my work. It worked as well as a session, I guess, and was a lot cheaper.
Actually sleeping for a few hours generally does help. Not very productive, but it also isn't productive to take time to see him. Maybe I can totally replace him with sleep!!!
