Today is not a good day. That pretty much sums it up. I did a lot of crying last night. Wasn't able to write a paper that I have due tonight (my class is right after work). Hopefully I can do the paper during my lunch break. Last night I was beginning to feel okay about me and my T. Then today, I don't know......I don't know what to do. All these feelings are WAY WAY WAY intense. I was feeling okay last night, then this morning, I don't want to see her anyhow. I understand, but I don't. I know what's going on conceptually, but that's not enough.
Then, I come to work. I have a ton of stuff to do. My manager is aware of this. Yet, she keeps asking me to do a million things. I feel like crying. I'm at work. I can't think straight. I was outside for a couple minutes and I started thinking that maybe I need a break from my T. Work is my biggest stress right now, followed by my T. School is not nearly as stressful as therapy or work. My line of work is falling apart. The economy is effecting us more than the company would like to believe.
I just need to vent.

I am sorry JayMac. I feel your pain. I am very emotional today too.
I hope you get your paper done.
I hope you feel better. I am sorry I can't say more than this.

I'm sorry too, JM. I sure do relate to so many of your struggles and emotional states. Especially the idea of how incredibly intense these emotions get around our Ts. Sometimes i wonder if I can take any more....but then I do, somehow. Like rsk said, I was having a day like that, too, then my T. emailed me so it's a lot better, but still....I just traded anxious, sad and irritated for ashamed, **ssed off at myself and confused (not his fault - this is all on me.) Nice, huh.
It's all very hard. But things do pass and change, even if we know they'll likely come back. We at least have little rests in between.
Keep writing and venting. I don't often feel okay to respond (almost too triggering to read this board for me) but I am usually keeping up with peoples' "stuff."

Jay,
I wish I could say just the perfect thing to ease your pain and be more helpful...
I can only say I'm sorry it's so difficult with work and therapy right now. Although our life situation is very different, you're one of the people here that I relate to and feel for. Please keep posting and venting. Hope everything gets better for you soon.

Thank you for all your words of encouragement!
The past 5 days have been crazy!!!
I see my T tomorrow at 12pm. I have so much I need to say. I don't even know where to begin. I don't know if I should write down what I want to say in advance. Or what?Therapy is HARD WORD!
