Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

[myheart]

To my psychiatrist (since I don't have a therapist at this time): Response given: I quit drinking or only drink 1 or 2 drinks a night. True answer: I drink two 1.75 liters of tequila a week faithfully, isn't it amazing what tolerance can do and that I'm still alive!

 

[Nighthawk]

T: You care about me
M: why would I ever do that ( Sarcasim) What response are you looking for?

 

[jaccat]

Me: will you please stop telling me things about how you view my childhood that mess with my head?

(Okay, I get that's why she's doing it, but I don't have to be comfortable with it).

T: Sits there with a pleasant but eager smile like usual at the beginning of our session.

Me: So I had a very vivid sex dream about you the other night and woke up feeling very disturbed.

So I probably should bring this up in therapy but am feeling to sick about it.

Social phobia?!! Really?! Just because I'm sometimes shy and I like some alone time every day doesn't give you the right to stick another label on me. Seriously. :bored:

M: I thought it might make it easier on you
T : Ok but you have to consider what is best for you
M: Can you stop being my T for 1 min :)

Me: You genuinely seem to care about me. I never noticed it before, but I like you. I don't need you, which is a good thing, but I appreciate your care and that you have went out of your way to get me further support after therapy finished. Thank you :hug:. You helped me realise many things. I don't know if I would have recognised the dissociation without you, or began to see that I have choices. Thank you T, for not giving up on me. I hope you get the things in life that you want.

^ Ugh, very slushy :laugh::facepalm:.

T: When you scrach or pick that is self harm
M: I find it soothing or comfoting
T: So you still harming yourself
M: well just have to agree to disagree I dont see it as harm

T: You dont go from 90 to 87 you go from 90 to 0
M: More like sub zero

You were suppose to let me know when you got back from maternity leave. This makes it awkward. I hate that I had to call and find out you were already back, and now I have to wait two weeks to see you because you are already filled up.

I noticed one thing, she will read my emails, but not reply to them. Again, I have her home phone, but I am not supposed to use it unless it is an emergency. Trouble is, my emergency or hers? Hers would be if I were thinking of killing myself, I suppose. I had a therapist that was angry with me because I never told her about planning a suicide for 4 months, I just did it. (I failed at it, of course).

So, yes, I'm supposed to let her know if I am thinking of killing myself. Other than that, it would be my emergency and she won't reply to my email or phone call. HHHmmmmm.... kind of confounding.

Something I always wanted to say to the T..."Your bill for getting this exclusive interview is (fill in the blank)__________."

Something that has always frustrated me is that if I'm having a tough day I can't go over to mental health and just talk it out with somebody. The only way that I can walk into mental health and talk to somebody is if I feel like harming myself or others... Luckily there are a couple people here where I am that I can talk to when I'm having a rough day.
