Am I The Only One Who....

@Silent one
I know it's a terrible feeling. It made me feel so under valued and reenforced my brokenness. For years I would go to therapists for "other things" and then try to ease into it. That never worked.
They don't "dump" you because of you. It's THEM.
They are under qualified and can't help you. You take them to the deep end of the pool and they can't swim. So they say the water's too cold and get out rather then admit it.
If they had any ethical decency they would reccomend you to someone more qualified.
It could be they can only reccomend other doctors in their group and they are under qualified as well.
It could even be you are triggering them and they can't handle it. I've seen more than once where I triggered a T. Many of them join the profession to help others and also to avoid their own issues.
One thing it definitely is not is you. Be up front as possible what you want from therapy. They might say oh yes I can help you, then do the same song and dance as the other T's. That's when I learned to say NEXT and go on my merry way.
I hope you find a therapist you deserve. A strong enough swimmer not only to jump in the deep end with you but to help you keep afloat when you need it.
 
Am i the only one who not only gets on the wrong train but an express to take me farther from my destination faster. Of course the train going back was a local and now that I am finely on the right train it too is a local
What is usually an hour ride has turned into 3 1/2 hours and I'm still on the train
 
Misses all the social clues except the ones I make up in my own warped mind? :wacky:

Missing social cues is my speciality AND at work to combine that with anxiety of must work harder and the fact I have to get a task done before I get distracted and forget it all together, I am sure to interrupt a conversation , meeting or phone call.,, btw acknowledging that you know you are being rude but give me the info .,, does not help for some reason... Maybe if I explained it's not me but the voices in my head that won't leave me alone ..., maybe not .
