Time for Therapy to start again...

Posted by llrrrpp on August 13, 2006, at 17:56:54

I've had maybe 3? sessions since the end of June, between my travels and my T's vacation. Oh goody. I can hardly wait... (groan). How's my dissertation going? he's going to ask. oh no. Well... not so hot really- I've been away. And I guess it's time to talk about my mom. haven't mentioned her but in passing... goody. I have a lot of guilt about how I've treated my mom in the past. She made so many sacrifices for her kids. And I was at times cruel and mean to her. poor mom.

I think I need better lifestyle habits. I've managed to clean up my room today, but I've done little else besides nap and eat and babble. I worry that I'm going to slip into my rut again and get myself back into the depressed place. How can I change my setting without going on vacation? How can I get my work done without wanting to procrastinate it until I'm crippled with anxiety?

I guess I'll start with the lists again. I have to clean up the kitchen still today. That's on my list.

ideas? books to read to get me to be more productive? I'm pretty disorganized.

Everyone has different ideas to motivate themselves. For me, I need stuff to keep busy so when I don't want to do something, like write a report, I clean stuff. So I can tell myself I'm at least productive.

A great book is "Eat That Frog" which has lots of time management tips in it. I think it is great that you put some of these things on your list to talk to your therapist about.
