Thanks you guys.
softheprairie, that was such a nice thing to say. And Tabitha, I haven't gotten a pinch in a long time. I must be doing better in (not) apologizing. I just worried that I'd left threads midconversation, and didn't want people to think I didn't appreciate their words. I'm just getting stuck in the reply part.
It probably does have something to do with hormones. The drop was so steep and swift. But there was some real life stuff as well, things that hit me hard personally. But not mine to tell. I suppose those few areas where I feel competent are the ones where I'm most vulnerable. I've also got some killer deadlines coming up in the next month, and I feel less and less capable of rising to the challenge.
I suppose at the very end of the session, my therapist did get that I was serious. I don't often remain in my seat when he gives the session over signal. I was honest what I needed from him, and he tried to give it. It's probably my fault he didn't get it earlier. I was joking around a lot. At one point I smiled and said I was whining, and he agreed, also smiling. And I really was, so it was ok.
Probably hormones...
But also the fact that if given the chance, I'd rather avoid than confront. So things have a way of all exploding at once. But sooner or later it will be possible to avoid them again, I suppose. Maybe not the healthiest way to live.
