I don't think that your desire to "just not wake up" is particularly unusual. But I do think it is a warning - a signal that you need to do something to reverse the trend. I hope that you can choose to continue reaching out (like you did by your post), and let the people in the world (Babble, family, friends, therapist) grab hold of you and pull you back into world. Then you have the chance to *consider* what you want to do - rather than being at the mercy of... ??something?? We should choose the destiny of our lives.
You are not a burden to your therapist - this is his/her chosen job. I guess I keep telling myself that if I didn't bring my therapist "challenges" that he would be bored - that I am doing him a service by bringing him my difficultness because it allows him to have a time when he feels successful and satisfied (and if he didn't have to work so hard to be successful, it wouldn't be as satisfying). (Hey, he has a pretty big ego and this thinking does let me justify being really honest with him - I think it works for both of us)
P.S. I wrote you a longer response, but I don't want to post it. If you want to send me your email address I will email it to you. I'm babble fallsfall - a hotmail account.
