@Eagle3 I hope that things get better as well. In the beginning I didn't have issues with the virtual therapy but I get frustrated. Again yesterday during our session he brought up the fact that we have not really discussed most of my traumas. I feel as though it bothers him more than he lets...

I don't know if the issue is pandemic related as we have been meeting virtually only since my state lockdown again in November which was the third time in 2020 that we were required to return to virtual sessions due to the pandemic. The thing is I don't feel a connection, I struggle to identify...

@Mach123 thanks for the support. I haven't made any money at it yet but the writing does keep me from taking the ideas/thoughts out of my head and into the real world. I am still polishing my stories. 2020 was a tough year for me in a lot of ways not just the pandemic but struggles and now...

Thanks I will check it out!

I plan to do that in the morning as they both belong to the same National chain. But if they can’t guarantee they can get it from the other location by end of the day Wednesday then I will have it transferred. Scary thing is I have a meeting after work that I need to zoom in for but the...

Unfortunately, they can't they are a controlled med so it is go pick them up or do without.

one of my maintenance meds otherwise known as my migraine rescue meds have been extremely difficult to get for the past 6 months due to supply chain disruptions (manufacturers words not mine). I am currently 45 days past my last refill so 15 days without the meds and I was told by the...

@piratelady this time last year I took a three week vacation/digital detox and didn't respond to email or phone calls and left the state so that I wasn't accessible or tempted to just drop by work. That isn't an option this year as my job heavily intersects with the US election and there is no...

I am really struggling today. I had a last minute session with T yesterday that really didn't help much. I don't know if this is just temporary burnout due to stress from my job or the beginning of another major downward spiral similar to what I had in 2017 that led to three hospitalizations...

@piratelady i have started trying to exercise more but my fear is that I won’t regulate that either and as history shows push to far and injury myself @Mach123 i had been doing really well for over a year, controlling my unhealthy coping mechanisms making progress we even believe we had...

@piratelady I am trying to stick to positive distractions have been working 12-14 hour days to stay away from home but as last night shows I still fail sometimes.

I reached out to my T this morning asking if we could schedule another session (I have a work commitment that caused me to cancel next week's session but he is booked. He will check with me if he gets a cancelation. The worst thing is even with the slow down agreement I indulged in trauma...

Just over a week ago things were going well. Then I had my weekly session with my T and we were talking about feeling as though we had processed through my primary trauma and it would be good to begin processing one of my next two significant traumas which we had thought would not be as...

I am still struggling with any thought of the holiday season this year. COVID doesn't help, my father will be turning 82 three days before Christmas but has been part of the US deniers groups saying that the disease is not that bad, that it is just one group attempting to use scare tactics to...

The family guilt trips about all coming together started earlier this year than usual with a group to text to all the siblings from my brother announcing a command performance of family love and unity for Christmas. My therapist has already asked me to really think about how healthy it will be...

So after typing up several less than nice email messages to the PA and to the practice I decided that sending something when I was so upset was counter productive. Instead, I took stock of my situation. I have been unable to find an alternative P-doc provider over the past 6 months that was...

@Still Standing I have been under the care of two psychiatrists in outpatient settings, two different psychiatrists in inpatient settings and have just been assigned a new PA in outpatient and have never once had anyone else brought in to my sessions nor insist on speaking to any member of my...

So back in March my P-doc informed me that that would be our last session as he was leaving the organization at the end of the month. I don't blame him for leaving as all I have heard from the large practice he was part of was that they were struggling to re-assign his nine hundred yes 900...

By 11:59:59 pm on Sunday September 14th I will have exercised 4 out of 7 days for at least 30 mins each occurrence.

@RussellSue I wouldn't worry about getting a negative reference from the previous position. I work in HR and there are actually laws regarding what a past employer can say about an employee. Specific answers to questions asked. As an employee go ahead and put the position on your resume. If...

@blackemerald1 If I never saw my former T again I could live with it, but for now I don't have too. We are doing a short 30 min telehealth session this weekend and though I am confident that I will return to my former location for work and living after some good discussions with my current T I...

I haven't taken any classes in 15 years since I finished my master's program but I have reached a point that I want to stop being a generalist in my field and focus on one area. So I have taken the plunge and registered for a certification prep class that will run all fall and will prepare me...

@blackemerald1 What the idea of closure means to me is that I don't feel that we ended our relationship in a manner that allowed me to move on. When I relocated he told me that he would continue to meet with me until I had found a therapist that I could work with. I knew that we would not be...

So I had a conversation with my current T last night and I have reached out to my former T and am still waiting to see if he responds. My attachment to my former T remains, and the work I have done over the last two years has been hard, challenging and uncomfortable and while those are all...

I am not sure I understand this, Alabama is a no fault divorce state meaning if he wanted this requirement it just means that the divorce is considered "contested" rather than "uncontested", it makes divorce a bit more complicated but was not the only way she could get the divorce.
