rough night. tossed and turned only half asleep. Had even taken a halcion.
i noticed this week having a downward slope... as i have been telling the docs for months now. Predictable this. It's biological with a heavy dose of situational. The email situation was avoided... i simply just avoided it. Probably the wrong move, but i don't see a right move.
feeling sad. hopeless. lonely.
could use a few words of comfort, hugs, even a laugh or two.

Hugs to you! Isn't your T due back in a matter of days? Yay! You did get through this, just a few more days, think of the nice session you had before he left. I think you have done really well in his absence. Try to hold it together for just a little longer, if you can. Your T will be there for you. ;-)

Here's a hug and if I could I'd come through your screen and hug you in person I'd love too. No one wants to be sad. I know how it feels as I'm feeling like this lots of times too.
I hope you have something good to hold on to and that this passes quickly. You're so sweet!
Lets both have a happy day! I'm home sick today, I hate it. I feel like I've missed so much work lately, my plate is too full of stress.

thanx HF... i was not online this morning.. i've been having a hard time waking up, sleeping, everything. i drag my *ss out and i go to class. thanx for the offer though.
4 days to go. i'm worried though. he's gone for another week after that. i know.. don't even go there. so i am not sure if i should go. i am really missing him, but what could we do? hardly worth the money to just chat. i have a self-reliance bubble going on.. don't know if i should break it and have to rebuild it.

or something crappy. it's amazing how something really crappy can leave you feeling better after.. it rained in buckets today.. big f*ck*ng buckets.. soaked head to toe. dogs are soaked. shoes are soaked.. etc etc. but now i am warm and dry... and that feels better. It's not a fantastic cure but it helps.

awww...shucks. :o) i went hunting for a ladybug poem just for you to pick you up.
if you could come through the screen and hug me i would let you. i feel just rotten. i think it's hormonal maybe.. can't seem to eat enough.... stupid doctors and their stupid inability to agree.

What day is therapy, Dory? I know it is next week, right??? That is something to look forward to or are you pissed off at T for leaving. Don't push T away, okay?

Hi, ((((Dory)))). I hope today is better for you. I know what it's like to get sad and not be able to shake it. We're all here for you, and even though I'm new, I can sense the love. Love and hugs from me, too.
Emily

> RealMei'm not mad at him, not consciously anyway. i actually have some appreciation for his breaks, i think that's why he can put so much of himself into what he does without being drained. i don't know if he's on vacation or a conference or what.. i never ask. i do know next week he's kyaking (sp?) at a national park i know.. that just came up somehow. So, i see it as a downside of the upside if that makes sense.
but pushing him away... that's another story. i have already cut a bunch of the attachment lines. i can't help it.. it's what i had to do to protect myself this week. i would have emotionally bled to death. i don't know how to handle stuff like trust and attachment, so with him gone i had to cut it off. The session is tuesday night.. but i am not happy about it. i miss him and will be happy to see him but i feel so closed. It hurts.

> Emilyi think you're a nice addition to babble. You're very sweet. Thanks for caring. It all helps. i am feeling a little more motivated today... trying my best to get stuff done. i am so swamped with work i haven't been doing. Sleeping all day.
today i just feel empty somehow. Still sad, but more emptiness than anything. hopelessness, what's the point of doing therapy? what's the point in pursuing this career when i know i can't make it. i have always failed. empty potential. that's me.
very discouraged.
last night i just drank the pain away. unplugged my phone.
