I just got home from my appointment with my therapist. I cannot believe that she said she doesn't believe I have pain and that I am just using my pain medication to medicate my anxiety. I medicate my anxiety with my anxiety meds and they don't help with my pain. She said pain meds don't really help the situation because they don't actually treat anything. I said I know they just tell your brain not to feel the pain. And she said amoung other things.She feels I am regressing and not working on my issues. Now I feel like I can't talk about the rape anymore as that is a past issue and she may see that as further regression.I want to cut so bad, but I am afraid she will also see that as regression. I haven't done it in a long time. I just don't feel good about anything right now. I think I will bury my head under the covers and take a nap. I have a awful headache now.

I vote for the nap! Naps rule.
I\'m figuring something I can\'t remember; that was quick. Oh, yeah: Treating pain is treating a symptom of something. I expect that is what is frustrating both you and the doctor. I can\'t imagine what you are going through and you keep banging against frustrated doctors.
I\'m glad to hear you haven\'t cut recently; I hope this means you are working your difficulties out so you don\'t feel unhappy.
I am so glad you are back. Let\'s work on a smile now :P
