> Anyways, sunny, I found it very jarring when I went up to two times a week. Then I went to three. Are the two of you working up to have even more sessions? It's supposed to make it easier to attach and maintain constancy -- so I've been told :-)No, we're going to stay at twice a week. But I'm going to have to go down to once a week again in a couple weeks because my mom won't pay for it anymore. She wants a reason that I need to go so often, and I don't want to give one to her. So I guess unless I decide to give her a reason I have to go back to once a week in a couple weeks. I don't know how I'll go back to once a week. Maybe it'll be easier once classes start and I'm busier.
> Wow, I can't believe you've stayed away at school for so much of your life. Have you always been away from family and home, or was it the same city, or at least near by? No wonder you don't like change -- it must've seemed to always be a given.
High school was about 45 minutes away. I went home every other weekend or so. But my home wasn't really very healthy, so it's good I was away at school. But I definitely think never having a reliable, constant, safe place is a big part of why change is so hard for me.
> I find it hard to move too when I'm sinking in a depression -- I just barely crawled out of one. So, I don't have any great advice about how to motvate yourself that way. Usually I just delve into a DVD boxset or something -- at least I'm not stuck in my own head then 24/7, sometimes I can even get distracted for a little while.
Yeah, I watch TV a lot. My T says that's not such a good way to cope because it just kind of numbs you out, but I resort to it a lot of the time.
> Does the weekend ever make a difference to your mood?Unfortunately, the weekend usually makes it worse. Less structure, because I don't have to go to work.
