Thank you for this encouragement today. I really needed it.
I found out that I have to quit therapy indefinitely and actually had trouble not breaking down to cry while leaving her a message that I couldn't go to my appointment tonight.
I lost a contract at work. My Dean has always acted jealous and been extra rude to me, but now she got promoted to my supervisor, she has made any excuse to trim my contracts such that I'm thinking I have to quit. She is trying to create a false paper trail to hurt me, signing a leave slip I cancelled and telling people I took the time off for sick leave when I didn't. :( I am tired of being persecuted. I think I'd be less persecuted if I didn't work so hard and do so well. I get jealous, crazy people constantly trying to hobble me, and I'm not a figure skater.
If my husband were working, I'd already have dropped the moonlighting contracts and given up teaching. I'd stick to my day job. :)
So your words bring comfort. If I'm getting better on my own, then that's good, since that's my only option at the moment. I certainly hope I can afford to go back to therapy, as it took me years to find a good one I like, and now this happened. I guess I can wait when I've waited so long anyway.
