Thanks. I should know more next week. In the meantime, we're discussing it already, because it's a useful discussion to have regardless.
And honestly, I'm not sure how much help he can be anyway. Today he just ended up annoying me. Sometimes he is just too d*mn chipper. Like some pop-psych superstar run amok.
I wish the major problems of life would just stop while the support team is not in place. But just maybe there is also benefit in them *not* being in place. My best friend got sick and died in a very short period where my therapist was out of town for most of it. And I staggered through it in some sort of calm rational fog of shock that enabled me to be supportive to the family and do all that I should do with only the occasional yelling fit. Perhaps if my therapist had been in town, that dazed shock would have lifted and I wouldn't have coped as well.
Good grief. Now I sound like my demented pop-psych chipper therapist, looking at the most positive possible interpretation. I must stop that immediately or I'll have to be utterly repulsed by myself.
