I think the appeal of Daisy's therapist is the openness with which he expresses his concern. I actually do think my therapist cares about me. He tells me that in hundreds of small ways. The way he relaxes when he's with me. The fact that he discloses about his personal life. But he's way more rigid and has firmer boundaries than Daisy's therapist.
Admittedly sometimes I like that, because believe it or not, I'm a rather reserved person. But sometimes I wish he were a bit more emotional.
It's just the way he is, I'm sure. I don't think it's a reflection on me particularly.
I know that killing myself would hurt him. And that actually is a consideration in my decisions, just as Babble is, and my husband, and most of all my son.
I think the worst of this suicidal crisis is over. But my life still is horrible. I just got more bad news about my dad today. And I really don't want to lose my daddy. No matter how difficult he is.
And I'm in hideous shape as far as work is concerned. If I get it done on time it'll be a miracle. :(
I'll ask him if he was thinking of threatening me tomorrow. I think he'll be honest.
And I suppose I need to decide whether the stress relieving benefits of going three times a week outweigh the fact that I have three weeks of work to do in one week.
Wish me luck everyone.
