HELP!!!!!
That's really all I can think to say.
I see T tomorrow; but it seems like that's forever away. And that it won't be enough.

((((Jammer)))) I'm having a turdy day too, with lots of tears. I see my T on Wednesday but wish it was right now. At the moment I despair of ever feeling better, despite past evidence. I just want to stop trying so hard. Putting one foot in front of the other sucks.
Try not to be afraid to be very clear with your T, Jammer. If it helps to write something down and either read it out loud (that's what I do) or hand it to your T to read; do whatever it takes.
take care

(((Scratchpad))) Sorry your day is crappy, too. It does suck, that putting one foot in front of the other BS. I don't think I'll ever not live in survival mode. I seem to be firmly planted there.
I'm afraid I won't be able to be at all clear with my T. The only thing I can manage is basically just what I've said here, today. I don't even know exactly what it is that has me feeling so badly. It's everything and nothing.

Sending you all the warm, safe hugs you can take.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard day. I'm thinking of you out here in babble-land. Hope to see you in chat tonight.

I'm really really sorry that you are having a bad day. Things are tough, but they will improve a little bit day by day.
Actually, this may be a really good time for you to practice describing how you feel.
One of the best things that I learned in therapy was to how to use words to express how I felt, ask for things I wanted and express myself when something made angry.
It is a skill and it can be learned. Try talking to your therapist about it.

Sorry you having tough time.
Maybe you can tell T just that, that you having so tough a time but got no words to tell her?
Maybe you guys could go thru some more positive affirmatory stuff?
Or just work on being connected?
Dunno.
I so full of sh*t.
You be OK jammer. Hang in there.
I be better soon and more better at talking again.
So mebbe I can just send (((Hugs to Jammer))

oh god do i ever know how that feels, and you know i do. The one thing about it i can say is that it helps you survive... i don't know how to move into a "regular" life, i don't know what help to offer. We just have to keep believing we can get there.
remember once i left you a post here to tell you what a great person you are? i meant it. You're a good person with a good heart. You have survived a lot. You have been through some awful stuff. It's not fair or right, and you didn't deserve any of it.
you can get through.
