NoLongerLonely.com - a place for people with mental illness to connect. I'm looking for penpals and chat buddies, and I'm actually finding them! It's terrific! Yay for new friends so I'm not as lonely.
Therapy today didn't feel so good. I don't know what was going on. I explained that I was using my journal on here to track my accomplishments, but that every time I was writing, I could not stop THINKING about the negative things, all the things I did NOT accomplish, the things yet on my list, the things I SHOULD HAVE done. Gesa went on to have me actually list them.. and then proceeded to basically make excuses for why I didn't do those things, some of them being that ProFiction should do them instead so why should I worry about not doing them... and such... and it was terribly lame. I even tried to tell her so, but I couldn't convey that this kind of making excuses did NOT help me to see the bright side in anything.

I have that "worrying about what needs to get done" problem. It takes a lot of strength to let it go and realize that there is always tomorrow to pick up where you left off. I am glad you are making some good connections. I have missed you! Huge hugs to you. Remember you are the customer in your relationship with your therapist and have the right to speak up about not being satisfied with the way things are going. You hold the answers to your health and happiness within my dear friend! Never give up and remember I am here for you always!! :)
