> Hi Tamar,
> Wow there are a lot of replies here. I don't have time right now to read them all! Obviously there are many people who care about you and who are very much beside you in spirit. Do not feel alone.Thanks. You’re right. I really don’t know what I’d do without Babble. A year ago, before I discovered Babble, I would have felt there was absolutely no one who understood.
> This may be waaay off base but could you call your old therapist just to run your present state of mind by him and see what in his professional opinion -- as your former doctor who knows your psychological self so well -- what course of action he might suggest?
I don’t know if he’d even speak to me without a referral. I think things are pretty strict.
> I know there is an insurance issue constraining things. but sometimes medical professionals can make that work, say if one phones the other. I dunno. If this is outside the realm of possibility then what would happen if you called your GP and said "I need somebody to talk to." period. ???
I think I’ll have to do just that. I suppose I’m afraid of what it will feel like if she simply refuses. Can I take it without bawling? Can I persist and try to win her round?
> the holidays are hard. So much required cheer. Your husband is fortunate that you don't practice your fighting skills now, on him. Yesterday my husband told me to stop being so selfish moping around all the time. I wanted to smack him right there and then. It's probably the most proactive thing I've wanted to do in weeks. :-)
It’s obviously Crappy Partners Week. Did you tell him you wanted to smack him?
> Hang in there, it will get better. You will find someone to talk to, I know it. Take care.
You too. I hope your husband gets more sympathetic too!
