Getting it out

By Marishka Friday, February 10, 2012

I have to get this out.  I was so hopeful about the therpist and the new doctor to treat the things I have.  I feel so bad right now that neither seemed good after all.  It is just that typical thing of trying and trying and dissapointment.  But I know I have to keep trying again.

 

I feel depressed.

 

I have to talk about two of the things I was desperate to talk to the therapist about.  They are eating me up inside.

 

Have not seen my father for 13 years or so.  It tears me up.  Plus my uncle is sicker.  I am afraid. 

 

I have one friend who understands , she too has not seen her father since she would get sick every time. She would dissociate or get very ill.  She also does not talk to him on the phone.  She understands that he is the biggest trigger in the world for dissociation and severe depression or suicidal.

 

She emails with her father.  He pays for a lot of her life, most medical.

 

Well, I have been so horribly depressed lately.  I need to talk to her and don't want to 'bother' her.  Just want to be in a good mood when I call friends.  Don't want to be a burden.

 

Well, the other thing is I am staying where I am for now in this home. Then I am thinking I will buy a cheap home.  And perhaps apply for disability or hopefully, be better and able to work by then.

 

I really don't know.  I don't want to hurt my mother in any way financially. It will not hurt my father I am sure.  My mother would be helping with the cost of the cheap home.

 

I have an email I want to send to the 'crazy camp' to try to get my mother's money back....I wrote about that before...

 

I am afraid to send it, lost the email address, don't want to do it, want everything to stop being so hard.

 

I miss talking to my friend who helps me so much regarding my father issues...but I don't want to burden her too much. I had such hope I could finally deal with a lot with a therapist.  My hopes feel crushed and I am sad, depressed and very tired right now.

I know...

Hey Marishka

 

Yes it is a shame that your current therapist is not helping you with all this.  This is definitely something to discuss in therapy.

 

Is it a give and take with your friend?  If you listen to her stories and help her...I don't see a problem with sharing what is going on with you.  Sometimes a friend can give something a therapist cannot...their shared experience.  We don't know your friend but...maybe give her a call not just to discuss this topic but to see how she is doing. 

 

Keep working through things...you are doing well.

Thanks MM.  Yes, I talked to her last week and she needed to deal with the teenage boys and her son right then.  But she said when was good to call now...since she drives her son to school a long way.  But she is home three days and she said definately call. So I will.

 

She has a very good therapist she has been with for over a decade and is going twice a week now!  So she has someone good to listen...but yes, she talks about things with me and I am sure it is also helpful to have a friend listen to some things...so I will call her...

 

I am having so many things come up...terrors re: my father...that I want to push away and not deal with...it is tearing me up...I am worried...and again, back to that silly thought, I don't want him to suffer...and I am afraid...plus,

 

I am afraid to heal more, afraid of what it will do to him...I know all crazy stuff...but not crazy to my stomach which is so tense and afraid...

 

I will call her, she will understand..

Hi Marishka,

I agree with Merely Me - I think you should give your friend a call. If you are worried about burdening her, maybe think of something else to discuss at first and see if it comes up. It sounds like you have a sharing relationship where you both tell your woes to each other, so I don't think it is a bad thing to call her.

 

Sorry you haven't been able to speak about these things with your new therapist. Is there a particular reason for this? Perhaps you will get a chance over time? I hope so.

 

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Lyra,

 

Well I have been looking for a good therapist...you can read the post on the recent therapist...so hard to find a good one that you fit with...secondly, I don't like therapists much!  Seems you may not either?  Have you had ones who helped you and ones who hurt you?

 

Well this one I feel hurt me.  My stomach is just in so much tension.  So much worry and fear.  I am tired of looking for a good therapist....I need one though..

 

my stomach is telling me that all this is too much...
