bad bad session

Hey janey,

god, I know how you feel! I hate this so much!!! I'm sorry you feel so bad. I usually go into hibernation when I hit these walls. Can you see your T for an xtra session? sometimes that helps after a day or so passes and you deal with the emotions that hit you unexpectedly. Hang in, janey. I'll be thinking about you.

Dear Jane

What a horrible, horrible thing to happen - completely out of the blue. Can imagine why it's knocked you for six and you're shocked by it. But, it happened in the right place didn't it? (if it had to happen anywhere) That's not much help really i know. I wonder why you reacted like that?

I'm really glad you posted this here. The right place. A place to draw upon. Deep down you know it is too even though you say 'I can't believe I'm going to post'.

I think you have to try and be kind to yourself. You're giving yourself a hard time which you just don't need. (Not that I would be any different!). I'm so sorry that you're having a rough time just now and I can empathise about having had enough of it all. But you've got this far and without minimising your distress this is a hiccup, a bad bad day but it won't always be like that. The sunshine will come out again and though we don't know when we know it will!.

Oh Jane just know I'm holding you in my thoughts today. Especially as you've got a heavy time ahead with a 10hour shift - I wonder what you do. something tell me you're a 'people person'.

I've rambled for long enough, keep on posting and telling us how it is. Allow us to be there for you as you are for us.

Thank you for the message you sent me the other day. I felt cared for. You made a difference.

Hi Jane

sorry this happened to you but am glad you felt able to post losing control is difficult to handle and leaves you feeling low. I hope your therapist was supportive and believe me you will get through this and move on. I hope work is not too daunting

Take Care

I am so sorry this happened to you today and pray you have not been too distressed at work. Is it possible for you to contact your therapist again before your next session and discuss what happend and how you feel? Just a thought.

Take gentle care

Dearest Jane,
I nearly cried reading your post as i could feel how awful this must be for you.I hope you got through your shift at work. I'm so sorry you are having a hard time and I know for me when this has happened in therepy for me i have come away feeling shaky for a while after. I just wanted to tell you that I am thinking of you and am here for you. It is horrible and takes courage and strength which i know you have to get through this. You poor thing i wish i could help more but please know that i am thinking of you and sending you lots of love (if ok).
Please take care of you I wish no one had to go through this!
thinking of you,
Mags

Hi Jane
Ack! I get that scalp not fitting my head thing too when I am feeling overwhelmed and turn to lead. You will get through these sessions to a better place. I'm sorry you had to work soon after and hope going to work helps you feel better in some way rather than tiring you further.
