That's kind of where I'm at as well. My therapist wants extra sessions. I have two big deadlines coming up (plus my regular work), and I don't see me making them unless I work extra time, not less. So I feel sort of bad about not being more supportive to everyone right now.
My therapist has the big talk with my rational self scheduled for tomorrow. Blech. He doesn't have your therapist's deft touch. He's mainly concentrating on my faulty logic. That not being able to do things doesn't equal failure. Yada yada yada...
He'd do better to hammer away at guilt. :) He'll never get me to believe that not living up to my obligations doesn't equal failure. He's more likely to get me to believe that no matter how much I hurt, I can't hurt others to escape.
Ugh. Not sure how much help I am right now. Maybe it's just as well that I don't have much support to offer. :(
Nevertheless, Daisy, I think I'm going to try to hold on. I hope you do too. I'll hold out a hand as the current tosses me to and fro in the darkness. If it'll help, you can grab on.
