Ugh. So, I'm without a therapist and unmedicated when a crisis hits. Great timing, huh?
I'm withdrawing to the point I'm having a hell of a time making eye contact with the people in my house right now, let alone with other people outside the house. I can feel myself getting more and more upset by the upset to our routine, and I have no place to go to get away from it and just be alone for a bit. I've also got the pressure to appear normal in front of strangers, and not a lot of options for getting away from those strangers. And it's even affecting my body and causing a great deal of discomfort.
Just when I really need a therapist I can call to schedule an emergency extra session to get me through this, just when I need medication to help get me calm. Ugh.
OK, I'm available for adoption into a loving, supportive family environment. Middle aged woman; house-broken; cannot fry an egg, but can make poached eggs, bacon and biscuits for breakfast every morning; gets whites white weekly in the laundry; many miscellaneous skills, too numerous to mention; good with pets and doesn't frighten small children (although sometimes makes adults anxious); call for details and application information. All offers cheerfully (enough) considered. Special points for families that can display an understanding of the concept of "boundaries" -- fences optional.
