dunno why.
Been like this a little while.
So not post.
But I read.
I CARE.
I just can't talk.
Too overwhelming.
Anyhow, had last apt w/T today.
Told her not gonna go next week. Said I was pretty much cured all right.
I disengaged I think already.
She said she'd phone Tues.
We'll see. She forgot last time, and she got alot on her plate right now.
So I am a blob of nothing who is REALLY trying.
I doing OK it would seem?
But mebbe I putting on a good show. Such a good show.

Sorry you feel flattened, Muffly. The old Muffly will be back, though. It's maybe your T;s leaving and being sick and your being sick. You need to recover. Takes time.
You're always in my thoughts, whether you post or not.

Hi Muffled,
I've been pretty low myself lately. This pancake needs to be flipped over because she's burning on the down side. I'll flip you, so to speak, if you flip me.
Take care.

Hey muffled.
You’re just doing the best you can at the moment. It is very threatening when our T’s go away and extra protection is required. It’s okay if you need to retreat emotionally in order to cope. I know I always found it disappointing when I did this, but necessary. Just know inside that as you move forward in your healing, this will gradually improve.
But it’s perfectly okay to be wherever you are at now.
It would be good if you could still go to your last T appointment. There’s no point in extending the 6 weeks to 7 weeks. It probably wouldn’t be a real productive session, but it doesn’t have to be. Even just seeing her and being with her can help towards your healing. Every little bit of relationship building helps – even if you do feel cut off emotionally. It allows her to demonstrate her commitment and caring to you (which is a good thing, even if it is scary).
Don’t forget that if you’re struggling you can stick your hand up and we can go to camp comfort together (or your cave or mossy place or any other fantastic place you can dream up).
Also, if you’re interested, I read a really fantastic book recently called "Dragon Rider". It’s a kid’s book about a trip a dragon and some friends have to make. If you’d like a great place/adventure to day dream about, you could give this a read. I really loved it and it was a very easy, gentle read.

Hey Muffled,
Sorry you're feeling flat as right now :-(
And FWIW, you've been an amazing friend to me. You just always seem to know the right time to stop by to say 'Hello'. I really appreciate you heaps and heaps. If you feel the need to go to the forest or your cave, me and puppy magee will come and watch out for you and the kids okay.
You just be however you need to be okay. Just knowing you're out there is a good feeling. You just take your time and be gentle with you.
Thanks for so many things.
(((((All the Muffled ones)))))
