Sorry. I'm in a foul mood. It happens to the best of us at times.
First of all, I hate making stupid cookies. I only made them because I knew he liked food and I thought they would be a gift he would accept. I don't make myself cookies very often, as they are a huge hassle, and they only make my arse larger. And I certainly don't need that...Now, I despise asking for anything. I seem to think that others should anticipate what I want or need. If they don't then I don't deserve or really need it. Now, if my OWN therapist doesn't pick up on the fact that I don't find him supportive enough, then there must be some reason. (I know, I look into things too much)
Your point about getting what we need, not what we want is exactly it. Maybe I don't need support. Maybe that is just it. Maybe he really is giving me all the support that I need and it just isn't enough for me, as it seems that nothing is ever enough for me.And I need this time to think about things. I told myself I would, as I so often avoid thinking about things. So, I have some time to myself. But, instead of thinking about what I need to I'm stuck thinking about my stupid therapist. Well, it is a start I guess.
But, I'm just angry right now. And confused. Don't worry about me. I think it is because I've been thinking too much today. I'll bounce back in the next few hours or days. And, I do have a sweet spot for my therapist. I posted about his fashion sense on the social board, so at least I'm able to contro the black and white thinking. He's not all bad. He's just stupid, but he's still nice looking and a snappy dresser :) And he is helping improve my life. And that is a definite plus...
