Annoying Therapy Questions

[Happy Head]

They have to know the true answer to that question, right? I mean, every time I see my p-doc he asks "have you had thoughts of harming yourself?" Over the last three wee? Of course I have. Today, right now, maybe not... he can't really believe the thoughts don't pop up in my head occasionally, right?

I do tell the truth, I just tell them that if anyone else asked I'll lie :)

well, I once read a funny quote that said something along the line...I had a handle on life....then it broke!
Never found it more applicable than coming to terms with PTSD :rolleyes:

I know this may seem a touch off topic, given the different flavor of shits that the psychs seem to be giving us.....but does anyone find that going out and exercising just exhausts you and ruins the next few days?

This happens to me. My T insists that exercise is good for me, but when I get too tired I get a couple of horrible days as a reward.

T: So how have you been handling the suicide ideations?
Me: Well, I made it here, so I must be doing OK. :)

My partner told me that suicide is a way of saying to God, you can't fire me, I QUIT!!!:notworthy::p

One thing I have found is that people seem to think that if you check yourself into suicide watch, that you aren't serious, and you're just trying to get attention.....

But for me it's a case of.....I'm not coping, I don't want to die, because the thought of hurting my darling H and family is horrible, but I don't know what else to do, I've run out of coping mechanisms.

Most irritating "exercise" (from a T from a time long long ago) was to think about and tell him what I would do if he gave me a million dollars. My mind immediately went to a gun rack ... the purchase of one and the ammunition ... to come back and blow my head off to demonstrate what I might do with it.

My answer, however, was that I would immediately get a will drawn ... passing this all to my loved ones ... then jump off the nearest bridge. T found it rather amusing and chuckled??? From that day forward I never used his name and called him "Chuckles" until I was referred to someone else. I'm not so easy to get along with, apparantly. Who knew? :cautious:

lol, mine would be to buy a new identity for myself and my partner, and then send a few baseball players to a certain house of a certain someone who ruined my career.......:devilish:
And then go buy myself a horsie:inlove:

T: What do the flashbacks feel like?
Me: Great!!! I can't wait for the next one.

 

[Kimpersonal]

T asks, "Do you see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel?"
My reply, "Oncoming trains happen all the time, Chuckles!"

T. - Tell me about the past week.

Me. - Um... *my brain would be empty*

Now...last week was the first time I actually had a lot to tell him.

...and it was a lot of good.

T= How are you?

Me= Well, I have disabling post traumatic stress disorder, severe major depressive disorder, myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sensory sensitivity, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, irritable bladder, an ulcer in my esophagus, agoraphobia, social anxiety, an associates' degree I can't use, no job, no social life, erectile dysfunction and I take 15 different medications.....How the hell do you think I'm doing?:mad:
