You can do it. I know you can! It may not be pleasant, but you can do it and do it without acting out. And your therapist will be so pleased with you for it! Mine generally is. At least he is when I make sure I tell him when he comes back. (OK, I'm no saint.)
Oh heavens, I sound like my therapist. He was cheerleading me on Tuesday. I hope it's out of his system.

I should have asked if for a souviner :P I am all over the place mentally....a plus is I can look like a pig and not worry I will run into him...I will work on some cheap pampering stuff./.cash is tight this pay period...whine...I know he will be having fun and that is good I really REALLY AM happy for that but wish he could be 2 places at once :) I do not see him again until somewhere in the teens....that seems light years away to me :(

That sounds like a very healthy way to act out. I'm impressed.
I usually up the klonopin and add some risperdal and gut it out with a lot of griping and moaning.

Swing on the swings (the ones with the really long chains) at the park.
Find a waterfall or river to sit next to and have a picnic lunch.
Find out what programs they are having at your local library (yes, you can go to the story hour for 3 year olds).
Read picture books at the library.
Skip rocks
Play solitaire with real cards (not on the computer)
Weed your front walk (or come and do mine!)
Write a letter to a serviceman in Iraq
Ride a bike
Alphabetize the videos at your local video storeMore ideas later.

Make collages out of old magazines laying around?
Rent old movies at the library (Cary Grant/Katharine Hepburn movies and Astaire/Rogers movies cheer me up)
Pray
Doodle with colored magic markers
Make tapes or MP3s of your favorite songs to play back later to yourself. Make tapes with different themes:Inspiration, Relaxation, Energy, Comfort etc.
Volunteer at a soup kitchen (you can usually do this short-term, short notice)
Watch funny therapy movies about transference, such as What About Bob and Analyze This.

What About Bob? is the first video I purchased (I only own about 5). It is the best. You can watch it 6 times.
Another Therapy movie that I really like is Good Will Hunting. (I also saw "Awakenings" with Robin Williams - that was a really good one, too)
Take an old sheet and make a hopscotch board (or use masking tape on your kitchen floor - then you have to take the time to put the tape down, and pick it back up, and get all that sticky off the floor - that should take a while)
Alphabetize your CDs.
The library is nice when it is icky outside.
Good luck!

Oh I think if I saw it more than say 10 times I might get annoyed or if I no longer cared so much for T :)
Thanks all!!!!
