Hey Muffled
I'm reading everyday, I just don't post too much. I'm hanging in there.My T has been gone out of the country for 4 weeks, she's supposed to return today and be back in her office mid week. I see her on Thurs. After not seeing her for this long, I'm thinking about being done with therapy. I can survive on my own, therapy is hard and it hurts sometimes huh?!?!?!
It sounds like you are confused about whether to stay with your T or try someone else. It's so hard to decide. I know I'd never want to start over with someone and tell them everything from the beginning.
Things at home are almost impossible. I wish I had my future in my sight. I thought a few weeks ago that I was going to move into my parents home, I've since changed my mind and I'm trying to find something I can afford, which isn't much. I plan on taking my 16 year old with me as leaving her with her dad would be a disaster.
Oh muffled, I wish we didn't have so many things to decide. And so much to deal with.
My Dr. increased my anti-depressants, so I hope that helps. I hate taking them at all let alone a higher dose.I'd love to run away and never look back. Only if I could take my 2 girls with me, but the older one has a boyfriend and will probably get married in the future.
I hope you can get ready for your trip in the trailer. Be grateful you can get away. I'd give anything to go and be with my family right now. It would be good for me. I hope you find that it will be good for you too.
You are so amazing and I've learned so much from you. You have good ideas and you're always so considerate of other's here. I appreciate you asking about me, now that I've written a book!!!
Take care and Peace~~~

**Thanks for replying.

**sigh, its very confusing therapy is....:-(
> It sounds like you are confused about whether to stay with your T or try someone else. It's so hard to decide. I know I'd never want to start over with someone and tell them everything from the beginning.**yeah. I just think mebbe I have gotten all I can get from my T. She did very well w/me. I have made great strides from being utterly unable to communicate bout myself, and dissociating whole sessions. So good work, but mebbe we can go no further, cuz we seem to not be moving ahead, and as Jammer said, it is indeed frustrating.

**Sorry to hear home is so terribly bad right now :-( Thats too bad bout your parents home too. Wasn't your family going to help you out? waht happened there? Sigh. You are at a hard time of life kidwise..
> Oh muffled, I wish we didn't have so many things to decide. And so much to deal with.**Its hard.
> My Dr. increased my anti-depressants, so I hope that helps. I hate taking them at all let alone a higher dose.**well if it works...its a good thing. And you can taper some when stuff calms down.
> I'd love to run away and never look back. Only if I could take my 2 girls with me, but the older one has a boyfriend and will probably get married in the future.**yeah, I wanto run too. Its an ongoing theme in my life, but I can't escape myownself.
> I hope you can get ready for your trip in the trailer. Be grateful you can get away. I'd give anything to go and be with my family right now. It would be good for me. I hope you find that it will be good for you too.**I did get some lists made today, and took some stuff out, and put some stuff IN the trailer. I still have shopping to do. I'd rather not have to do it with the kids as they whine cuz they don't like shopping and so it makes it miserable.
But the trip should be good I think.
I'm glad you wrote what you did, it reminded me to appreciate this special time in my life, too soon it will be past, my kids will move on...
And I like when people write longer posts cuz it makes more sense to me! Its more complete. So type away!
You take care too.

Thanks Muffled!!!!!
You made my day, I'm at work just trying to sort through so many thoughts and so many plans to make.
I decided I didn't want to move into my parents house cuz I would have to move about 90 miles away, Find a new job. My 16 year old does NOT want to live in that city. The house seemed over whelming to me. It's in pretty good shape but it's over 50 years old. I don't know, I must be nuts to pass this up but I did and now it's going to be rented to a cousin that's getting married in August so I can't change my mind.You are wise to recgonize that you've learned all you can from your T. That gives me something to think about too. I know if my marriage had been better I would have stopped seeing my T a long time ago. It's taken me this long to get to the point of leaving my husband. I just wish figuring it out was easier!
When do you leave for your trip? I hope it's a time of peace and relaxation. Make some good memories for your kids.
We struggle with our own minds, but we grow and learn more. It's painful and hard.
You hang in there and don't give in to your head, follow your heart and you'll be ok!!
Safe hugs
LadyBug

Oh, Ladybug,
My heart really feels your pain. I just don't know how you do it all. I am scared, it will be me in a couple of years. It is so scarey
