I spent yesterday trying to figure out a way to reconnect with the therapist on more than just a surface level. I did come up with something that I thought *might* work and was about to call the therapist to tell her my idea/suggestion but there's still discontent and uncertainty inside. I realize that there is always going to be a certain degree of distrust and uncertainty - nothing is ever 100% sure (even birth control pills and pregnancy tests are only 99%) if I could get to even 75% in my level of safety and trust with the therapist I think I could go with that for awhile. Let me step out of my financial analyst brain for a bit....and drop the numbers ~ therapy is never an exact science, right? (one of the main problems I've had with the whole "program" in the first place).
I was sick a lot last night and this morning. I hate Fridays and yet I'm thankful I don't have to get up by an alarm clock tomorrow. This morning was one of the most difficult mornings I've had in a while. I could not get motivated to get out of bed and when I finally did I was so tired I could barely stand in the shower...and I decided to forego washing my hair and wrapped up in a towel and laid back down in bed...nauseous, sweating and freezing cold, praying I would be able to pull it together for the first meeting of the day.
I need consensus from the group above! I cannot believe how badly my head hurts today and how I cannot go 30 minutes without throwing up. And when I can't sleep at all, when I can't stand up in the shower because I am so tired and sick that my mind and body are not connected and neither responds to the other... I want someone I can trust to talk too. I want someone who cares and will not leave if it gets hard and ugly. I want someone who won't lie to me, and who will understand when it's too hard and I need to dial it back. I need someone to help me understand what goes on and what I need to do when it gets so scary I forget how to breathe.
I need the therapist back...
I know I'm back and forth and all over the place on this topic, but I really do hope you can come to a resolution of what to do so you can feel helped in some way. Pain sucks. It sucks worse when you feel alone and scared in it.
ReplyDeleteI understand your struggle...it does get easier.
