I had two very difficult sessions with my T this week. The first I wrote a post about. The second happened on Wed. night and we continued our discussion from Monday. I think my T understands me but doesn't agree with me. It was really painful and I ended up telling T that I didn't think what happened to me was that bad and I was actually arguing and angry with him. I am missing my session tomorrow because of the holiday.

I am so anxious and agitated I want to tear off my skin. I'm not sure why. I've been on a roller coaster of feelings since wednesday night from grief, anger, fear but I keep coming back to the anxiety. I know part of it is because I'm not going to see T tomorrow (but I will on Wednesday) and I have no way to contact him on weekends.

Last night I spent time facebook stocking my T's family. I first did this about a month ago and confessed to my T right away because I found his wife's facebook page but didn't see anything else. Now her photo albums are public and I saw pictures of their kids and pets. I felt guilty about it last night but I stopped feeling anxious. Today the anxiety is back. I can't find a way to interrupt it. Even my usual strategy of overeating isn't making a dent in it.

So I'm still anxious. I have the confusion and argument about what happened in my childhood and if it was bad enough to effect me. Now I'm also worried about what I saw on facebook even though it was all public. There is a big part of me that doesn't want to know what is family looks like. I already imagine them to be perfectly happy and healthy and lucky to have him in their lives forever.

I'm sorry you're missing your session today. Frowner I'm sorry I don't have much to offer, either. How did your T respond when you first told him about the Facebook stuff? It's understandable that part of you wouldn't want to know more about his family...it's hard to accept that not only do our T's have lives outside of our relationships with them (bummer!) but they are also imperfect like everyone else.

Anyway, let us know how you're doing today. (((hugs)))
Thanks for hugs Liese and kashley.

I actually dreamed about T last night only we weren't in his office or doing therapy. He didn't act surprised or upset that I found his wife on facebook. He was surprised that her profile wasn't privacy protected. He didn`t think I should blame myself for being curious. He`s been understanding before about the fact that anybody would be frustrated by how little that I can know about him outside our sessions and so searching for info is a way to find out.

I wish I knew why I was so anxious. It makes me want to run away from T and my life.
