Thanks, dasiy, I know you understand. I made myself get up this morning, and I actually took a walk so that's progress. (Gee, does that accomplishment account for the whole day? Can I go back to bed now?). Problem w/staying in bed is that both my husband and I work at home and he just comes and stares at me sometimes, shaking his head, so that just adds another layer. He's difficult in many ways.
I can't say I actually like my new pdoc yet, but this past Friday was kind of interesting. He says he doesn't "do" therapy, but he sure tried. I didn't like it. You can't dump 14 years of stuff in the time allotted. I do like that he didn't just throw meds at me (oh how comforting they can be sometimes). I feel that I'm being a chance to feel so I should try to go ahead and do it.
I can understand your feelings about your father. My T has been very good about letting me hold onto to the good parts of him; she encourages it in fact, for me to try and see that he was a complicated person. She seems to think that if I hold on to the good parts then maybe, just maybe, I can reach the bad parts.
I loved your idea about "stealing a hug." I might just try that. It's the obsession over it that's torturing me and if I ask and he says no, I have to be prepared for that rejection as well.
I know these situations are supposed to be helpful in resolving the issues, but I never seem to get there.you're a good friend,
antigua
