Oh, Llurpsie, I can't ignore this, either. I'm so sorry you had to go through this and that we weren't able to talk about it over the weekend. It's hard doing stuff like that in person, isn't it?
You were so brave to go. I'm not sure I'd have been able to. I haven't been in 12 years, except for an ER visit a few years back. Even then, I was supposed to go back for a follow-up and never did. I don't mean to make this about me. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in finding those visits traumatic.
And I'm sorry your mother was so insensitive about the situation when you were a teen. It leaves you in such a difficult place when you know they mean well but still cause so much harm. You definitely need to join us over at NUTMA.
Please try to be kind to yourself. I know it's hard, but please try. In T this morning, we were talking about my feelings of empathy for a particular person who is in a situation similar to mine and my T asked me when I'd feel that same empathy and compassion for myself. Maybe it'd do us both good to ponder that idea today?
Scratchpad had a good suggestion about the tea. And kitty, too. Play with him....that's so much fun. And call him every time he walks away. It's so sweet the way he comes right to you when you do. Those are little moments of joy. Can you think of any others?
