I think it is really hard to feel like I'm more than my work. What I do is who I am...so when I can't do it well, who am I?
My husband told me tonight that he thinks I share more about what is going on with me with my therapist than with him. I said this is true to some extent but not the day to day stuff. He said he thinks it is wrong for me to be sharing my life with someone else, he thinks that is what husbands (and/or wives) are supposed to be for. And, "didn't you ever consider how it makes me feel to know you talk about our personal stuff...This is why I hate psychiatrists." I was speechless, I don't even know how we ended up in this discussion. I said, "are you asking me to quit?" He mumbled something about he shouldn't have to ask and stalked off.
*sigh* It is really hard to defend therapy when you aren't getting any. I don't even know how to make this better for him. I guess I thought he had come around to understanding how important it is.
The planets must be lined up against me this past week. I'm wondering whose Karma I stepped on.
And, Thursday feels so, so far away.
Thanks for the support. I'm trying not to curl up and die inside but it is really hard. And the fact that it is hard makes me hate myself more. Does that make sense?
