Annoying Therapy Questions

[Kintsugi]

Maybe a good place to start thinking about the future is how you'd like to better yourself so you can be there for her now and in the future. There is always SOMETHING positive, even when everything seems really shitty. Find the one positive thing in your life and shape how you want your future to look based on that thing.

This may sound a little silly, but what has helped immensely in seeing my own future is my love for my dog. Since I got her the prospect of suicide seems horrific rather than something I want to plan and death scares the crap out of me as opposed to being a state I yearn for. I couldn't imagine leaving that little puppy face behind me to enter nothingness. Now when I get nervous about imagining a future, I think of all the tricks I want to teach her and the adventures we can go on together. I'm so grateful for her constant and daily love!

Missantisunshine I am glad to hear it. Our pets are our love. The other night I was feeling really bad, and my chocolate lab pushed through the kitchen gate(he can get out anytime he doesnt want to be cooperative) and came upstairs and just laid by my bed like he knew Usually he is ornary and jumps on my bed and like to test me. They are amazing:)

"How did you feel about that day?"

T asked me that question when I told her about holding unborn in my arms!
I looked her in the eyes, and knocked on my head where plate is now at. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR STUPID *&^%ING QUESTION!!
Her reply "I see we still have to work on your anger."
Hmmm thats what I'm here for in the first place!!

~~~~
The question how does my body feel?
"Lets see every bone aches, thumbs fold backwords on their own at any moment, I've been up and down 60 flights of stairs at least 3 times today with jacked knees, and when sitting here I am in so much pain in my legs their starting to cramp! HOW THE F**K YOU THINK MY BODY FEELS!"
~~~~~~
My fav is when the hospital calls to let me know the T I'm to see that day will be out, to which point I call in I get my a&& riden and thrown into a guilt trip about calling in that I cant make it.
~~~~~
Leave my abuse out of the mix I have another T for that, your to work with me about my handling of anger... 3 T's sucks!!! See 1 for the abuse, 1 for my eatting/sleeping habits, and 1 for anger. Too bad they cant give me 1 and be fine. Tribes grrrrr!!!!
~~~~~
The abuse T is finally getting the understanding dont ask how my week has been...
I tend to go into detail about having to use a butter knife to chop a :poop: left in toilet by tenant so that it could be flushed down the toilet!
Last time I didnt have time to stop to change before heading there... :sick: her eyes watered more from the :poop: smell than from working with me! last session only lasted 30 minutes Hmmmm?????
~~~~~ My most fav asked by all 3... Have we had any bad thoughts this week?
Hmmm does that count my wanting to string stupid people up by their toes for unplugging a electronic ingnition stove then call saying stove doesnt work? does that count the cops I throw rocks at because they just drive through instead of stopping because they dont want to fill out paper work? or are we talking about all the jack A&&es that call about garbage disposal being stopped up by the beer cans they stuff in them and cant understand english that its not for thrash!!!

I get smiled at and told I still have anger issues!!!!

Our pets sense our feelings.. When ever I'm on the true verge of crying my cat comes to me and plays with my feet, annoys me. Its like he is telling me theres no reason to cry.

 

[alixipain]

What do you see in this?
What do I not see.. a rose, blood splattering, a fish, guts, a dragon, a crushed car, a splashed water spot, a paint ball was used to make that right?

Ok thats enough and that was the first ink blot!

 

[KP the nut]

"Why do you think that?"

I now pre empt the question. I'll say something and then immediately say and don't ask me why/how I feel because I don't know why:D

 

[alixipain]

T asked me once if I wanted to die?
I stated not at the moment.. give it a few hours that might change!

 

[Srain]

WOW! Now there's a question not to be asked!! I would have said, in a chilling, child-like whisper, much like in the Sixth Sense..."all the time!"

I love my tdoc, I love her room, so open, with a view of beautiful trees, bushes, flowers. She is calming and quiet and open. She has only said one thing that has rubbed me wrong which I was more than happy help finish with her as I had heard since a child it's so tiresome.

"Where ever you go you take you with you." :sleep:

Oh, I'm sorry did you say something I didn't know??? Sheesh! If I didn't know that by know, after at least some of the background I had given her then I must really need to start from scratch. Please please rework this old adage!!!
How about:

"The Spirit from Hell from you innards" will meet you there to have a talking to you! - or -

"The ghosts from PTSD past will be serving a welcome to YOU party when you get there??"

"Father Nightmare has decided to pick up at the airport and escort you to your destination and will be joining you
for dinner...BOO!"

I'd just like it switched up a little because I'm going to go regardless and be back for our following appointment or the next one, but I'll be back. It's Spring so it's go or crawl in bed. It's been this way since I was a child. Autumn I perk up and have energy like nobody's business and making a homey home is what I do.

Oh hands down:

What do you need right now?

 

[Elphaba]

I hate the "how did that make you feel?" and "why do you think you react that way"?

But. I am without a T now. So no questions of that kind for a while, I think! Scary in a way too

 

[shell]

I have got to say that after having had a really crappy day, and reading your comments I have never laughed so much at some of the answers. I hate it when I space out, I know he just asked me a question that I was supposed to answer probably minutes ago and I have no idea what the f*** it was?

Imagine this...full blown panic attack in front of the "mental health professional", one so bad it moves from hyperventilation to the "elephant on the chest" airway constricts and cant get a breath. Sweating, shaking and struggling to get a little air in the constricted airway.

Then you are asked..."Are you feeling anxious?"

Duuuuh, no shit Sherlock...ding ding ding we have a winner!
