For those wondering,
Was as hard as I thought it would be. Ground did NOT open up and swallow me whole (wish it had though....)
Progress was made but I'm beat. Emotional toll massive....not all good....not all bad
Totally detached at the moment....spacey
Acupuncture was restful....slept for hour during.

Hey that's great.
So many therapists turn out to be just blank sweet supportive types with no real brains.... so its good you found one that will work you. No pain no gain.Take care,

Phew! Good to hear that, tho also concerns me that is *so* hard. Take care.
A friend used to have acupuncture during her lunchhour- she came back with rather bruised wrists but having had a great sleep!

Doing trauma work in therapy.....22 years of delayed grief (old posts tell pieces of story if you are curious) so it is difficult no matter what. Only able to tackle because of relative med. stability and lots of personal work.
Thanks for concern. When it comes to depression support therapy it isn't so much a matter of being hard....it's just a pissy thing I resent having to do regardless of mood! But I'm a foul cynical person when comes to matters of disease management. I do it...grudgingly. So can you see diff. in type of therapy work being addressed?
I dislike at times having to have acupuncture to help meds and mood. Acupuncture ALWAYS helps me and place I go to is fantastic...but still I hate having to do it, pay for it without insurance (yeah, meds too). I'm disagreeable when it comes to 'forced' things.....I don't sit around in foul mood about such matters...more like irritating-in-mosquito-buzzing-in-ear-as-trying-to-sleep kind of thing.

In reply to thinking of you too.....what's shakin? (nm) » kiddo, posted by Alii on May 17, 2002, at 0:54:14
Well, now that school's out, I miss it...does that make sense? I'm weird, I know :0 But it's my daughter's B.D. tomorrow so I'm busy doing all that fun stuff. It's quite scary to be honest. I only have to pick up the cake put up the streamers. I even have the table set already!!!
I hope things are still going well for you-or at least stable..
I'm getting ready to watch a movie, but wanted to respond.
Chat at you later :-)

Oh, I hate forced things too! I dont have therapy now, but used to hate having to turn up at the same time each week regardless. Some weeks it would have been great to see him a couple of times when *I* was needing it (whenever that was) and be left in peace on other weeks.... And having to pay for it too doesnt help.
Sounds like you have major stuff to deal with, tho. Good luck!
