Sometimes he just doesn't understand, doesn't remember, falls asleep, doesn't hear me, says completely the wrong thing, or all of the above.
I think it's unfortunate that when I feel bad, I want to see him every day (and those words don't do the petulant tone justice). And when I feel bad, I think I annoy him so he really can only put up with me a few times a week.
Today he asked me if I'd ever vomited on myself, and told me that he was once driving in his car...
At which point I broke into strong hysterics, put my hand over my ears, sobbed, and finally floated away. I think I scared him. :(
I will assume he was driving in his car and thought that he might ask me if I'd ever thrown up on myself. I need to never be able to visualize my therapist and vomit together.
He was a little weird with me after that. I think I scared him.
It's a good thing that I feel fairly confident in his care and positive reward for me, or days like today would upset me. Instead, I really want to see him tomorrow, but I think the message I left him was probably too garbled for him to understand that, even if he does have time to see me, and can bear to see me.
