In reply to asking for support, coping skills (very long), posted by yellowbird01 on February 15, 2009, at 12:35:34
I wanted to start by saying that I think you are very strong for asking for support so clearly. I wish I could do that too.
I think the break thing is a good idea (and seems to be facilitated partly by his recovery program). I hope you guys can go back to being friends. Althought it may be hard for a while.
I'm so glad you have T. Mine is my strongest support. I cried for hours after our session last wk. b/c he's going away for a week. Just knowing he's far away is hard for me. Don't let some kind of diagnosis deter you from getting what you need from her(w/in limits of course). She's there and cares and you're paying her, so get what you need.
As far as coping....I'm not very good in that field...maybe read a good book or make/buy your favorite meal. Draw/paint how you feel if you like that kind of thing. Just take care of yourself and comfort yourself.
