What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Thanks Froggie. I do appreciate the advice.

I've been seeing him for 20 months now and yes, he has always been there for me. I have emailed him when what I have to say is just way to difficult for me to verbalize face to face. It kind of paves the way for discussing whatever it is and forces me to talk about it. He has always responded to my emails. Usually the same day even if just to say he got it and we'll talk about it or to go into some depth about what he thinks. He's never not responded at all before, though has warned me that sometimes he doesn't check his emails for days. So his not responding is unusual.

Thanks again for the encouragement ;o)
 
Do you think he would purposefully not respond to an email to get me to call him? Oh well, it's all supposition as only he can answer that!

(((Iam))), when we are going through a crisis, all sorts of things go through our minds. Usually based around self worth, eg he hasn't replied, he is avoiding me.

As you say the has been there for 20 months for you, I doubt he is suddenly avoiding you. It could be he hasn't checked his emails or is ill, having a couple of days out of the office.

Try and stop second guessing, breathe and ground. Write down what you need to discuss, that may also help clarify your thoughts.

I think KP is right Iam. Could be anything, but because (our) self-worth is in doubt or scarce, we always think that must be the explanation, and it's rarely, if ever, anything but a negative explanation.

I'm not sure if it ever gets easier, but I am sure it will be ok

Thanks Kathy & Junebug ;o) I do need to stop second guessing :O_o: I didn't call because it isn't a crisis, just that I suspect I have been cutting back on my sessions with him more because of avoidance than financial pressures or feeling that I'm done with therapy with him. I think he and I need to discuss it for that reason. That being said....emailing instead of calling was avoidance in itself LOL! :whistling:

You know what.....I just wish he'd tell me if he genuinely likes me or not! Wow, now that is a new thing for me..........I very rarely, in fact if ever, need affirmation. Usually I could care less what someone thinks of me. Of course.....in this case, he knows everything about me, where most no very little!
 
To be honest, I feel alone right now. I've been doing some relaxation exercises to keep me calm, and they have done some good, but it doesn't remove how truly alone I feel. I know the world doesn't revolve around me; this is a fact I've understood nearly all of my life. I can't expect people to be around me 24/7 just to comfort me. When someone calls just to talk it feels great. I feel loved. But when someone calls because they need something I don't get the camaraderie, the care, the love I need. Quality time is big for me, and not having it with my loved ones is tough. It makes me feel alone. But they have lives, so I understand, though I wish I was part of it.
 
Vulnerable.
:notworthy:

((((((((((((Innordinate)))))))))) of the least of the feelings it would be vulnerable, especially admitting it. At the same time it is freeing in and of itself so I believe am seeing this as moving forward since your response in snug in the middle of the rest of us, safe, and protected. Sending peace and guidence...

I feel anxiety with a chance at more secretes truth coming out later at the tdoc. I'm a bit shaky with difficulty breathing.

I feel like I am drowning and need someone to throw me a life preserver.
I feel like I can't climb out of my hell without a hand up or a rope tossed my way.
I feel angry that I am in this place again or still.
I feel miserable.
Tears of frustration at myself.
