ok, so i'm not 100%. i'm still a little unstable. but the good moments outweight the down...so far so good. i see T and pdoc today. i did end up going back to the hosp. it got me through my 'rough patch'. and i hope the next time i go into the hosp. it's on the maternity ward not the psych ward!
anyway, i wanted to just say how incredible all you are. all your great posts and support. you'll never know how much that meant to me. this is the hardest stuff i've Ever had to do. and i need the support. please hug yourselves tightly...that's from me.i think work is definately an added stressor so i'm going to take a couple days off next week. i see T mwf and i'm not sure if i should work mwf or if i should work just Tues, thurs.?? i think i'll discuss that with t and pdoc, see what they think.
ok, enough babble.
thanks again all.

{{{{{{{{{b2chica}}}}}}}}}
Welcome back. I'm so very glad you got some help and you are feeling better. Sometimes that is the hardest thing to do, and I'm glad you found it within yourself to do it.
As for your work/T situation, just a quick suggestion....If it were me, I'd think about working on the days I didn't have T, especially if I was having a hard time emotionally. I'm thinking that the T sessions (at least some of them) may be intense and leave you dealing with a lot of different emotions afterwards...I know, for me, I couldn't face work after seeing my T most days, I just wanted to go home on the couch and cry. Of course, you might be totally different (I was NEVER like that....my T broke through something and losened a part of me I didn't know was there; I'm not sure whether I'm glad or not yet), but it might be something to think about.
Whatever happens, good luck, and take care of yourself.
Peace,
sv

Hey Chica, welcome back.
It can be so hard to work and do the hard stuff in therapy! When I was up to my neck in it, it was as if my nerves were exposed much of the time.
I hope you can work out a schedule you are comfortable with.
Take good care.

So glad to hear from you.
You sound "good," and I wrote it that way meaning I KNOW things are still going to be so very hard...BUT it's a positive sign the way you let your hubby and pdoc, T., hospital do what they are there to do - help and support. It's so, so great.
Keeping safe is HUGE. You know, you have inner strength that just leaks out all over the place through your posts, even during some of your darkest times. That's an encouragement to me to know I have some of that, too, and can use it for my "stuff."

I'm glad it helped and you're feeling better.
How do you generally feel after therapy? I think that would be what determines which days are better taken off.
