I have thought so much about what I wanted to say to my old T when I thought I was going to meet him, I thought about every possible reaction, angle, that I think I got sick of thinking of him.
I told my current T that I am sick of talking about it. But since I was upset last session, I think he wants to work on it. I am sure there is some residue left that needs to be worked on.
But have you ever thought about something so much, you actually got sick of what you were thinking of?
Maybe this has given me some closure (hate that phrase) that I am NEVER going to have ANY kind of relationship with him. In fact I think since I brought up seeing a lawyer to him (even though I said I was sorry about doing that on a message to him) I think he won't like me so much now. Which is good because it takes away all possibilities. Plus I told him to respect my privacy in public, not to come up to me and talk to me unless I do first.
I think this is good thing. I am ready to move on to other stuff with my T. We have a lot of work to do and I am taking the fall semester off of school just so I don't have to worry about any fall out over trauma therapy. Having a family is enough to deal with right now.

>But have you ever thought about something so much,
> you actually got sick of what you were thinking of?This sounds like a healthy development. As an obsessional, I would welcome this sort of thing more often in my own life. Good for you!

Yes sometimes you need time for yourself and one semester is not long did it myself during nursing school and even changed schools so I'd be able to do one thing at a time. Love Phillipa

Thanks BackSD,
I am feeling much stronger even today. I went to the gym and worked a lot and it felt good. I feel like I am ready to start over in my life, moving forward. I hope this feeling lasts, for once since my depression I feel much lighter than ever.

Hi Phillipa,
I have had the summer too, so it is longer than just a semester. It is so hard for me to do this, I keep looking at classes thinking oh, I could just take one fun on or something. But with classes starting in about 2 weeks, I am no where prepared for it. So I hope I can go the next semester, being fully ready for it.
Plus I my MIL is coming over Xmas to stay with us, so it is more of an incentive to get things done around the house. She will drive me nuts, and I wanted to come to NC for the mountains and stuff, but we can't afford it right now. So this is what is best, it will make everyone else in my family happy. I can deal with it I think, I might need T 3x a week and getaways planed. lol
Thanks Phillipa for your support. How have you been?
