I'm so sorry this is all happening at once, bad things seem to do that. About your SI client. It took me almost 2 years to tell Burt about my cutting. I didn't tell him because I wasn't ready to discuss it, not because I didn't feel safe (well...I was a little worried he might lock me up!). The important thing is that you know what's going on now, so you can try your best to help her. I'm so impressed that you feel comfortable telling people you work with about your own troubles. You would think since they are in the therapy field, that they would a little more understanding. Remember you have your own therapist too that you can call if you feel like you need to. Don't forget that. And you have your husband (like you mentioned) and us!
I think being ultra-sensitive probably makes you a better therapist. Based on what you have posted on here to me, you seem to have this wonderful talent in the fact that you are able to empathize and really understand other people's emotions. I'm really sensitive too, everything seems to hurt. I hope this internship thing works out for you, it sounds fascinating! I wish I could apply for it! :) Like another poster on here said, don't forget about chocolate. Sometimes I think it's just as effective as antidepressants! (but that doesn't mean I think you should stop taking your meds). Don't wear yourself out okay. You said you have a big day today. Maybe you should consider coming straight home afterwards and get some rest. I know I deal with things MUCH better when I well-rested. Hang in there. :) ((((((Gardenergirl))))))
