I find that because the past few weeks have been so tough and awful (last week I was in 3 times and on the phone once)I wanted this week to be better -- but not for me, for my Therapist. I am convinced that he must be getting tired of me being so sad about everything. Monday I tried to steer clear of the painful topics and talk about more areas where I still feel in charge (or can pretend to be) so he could feel like I was getting better or at least trying to feel stronger, but we ended up in a dark place anyway.
But life remains hard, I'm sad and anxious, there have been two very stressful events in the past 2 days and tonight my son told me that he use to think I was supermom before he knew I had my own problems and my own counselor. Wow, that hurt -- not that he meant it that way.
I promised myself this week I would get through it on my own, no crisis calls and no sad and whining on Thursday night. It is just impossible.
Can I ask him to do all the talking instead?
