Hi Liese,

I couldn't agree more with your topic title!

I will see my T on Monday @ 2pm to 4pm. I will be so glad that her break will be over. This was a tough one for me this time.

Sorry that many of you are still waiting for you T's to come back from their breaks!

Just hang in there!

Regular normal routine sounds good and safe to me now. Getting through the holidays without oldT was really difficult and painful. Yesterday was the worst. And oddly enough he didn't go away this year like the past two Christmas seasons and I would have been able to see him.

NewT also did not go away for Christmas and that has been really a good thing for me helping me through this time. I saw him last Thursday and will see him on Monday and am looking forward to it.

To those of you who are getting closer to "T-time" I'm glad the waiting period is over and that you all made it through. It's so helpful to have this forum and others to wait with when things get really hard.

((((((DF)))))))

I am so glad you can't cancel your appointment!!! Sometimes the hardest ones to go to can also turn out to be the most important. DF, a lot of people struggle around this time of year. (Heck, I struggle anytime of year.) It can be a really sucky time of year. Why do you think your T can't help?

EESH, DF, I can see why you don't want to talk to her about it! I read an article recently about how everyone wants to push pills to get rid of our emotional pain. But that sometimes, you really have to feel what you are feeling. And, life IS hard. And it's okay not to be okay all the time. I know sometimes I think everyone else is out there having fun and I'm the only one not having feeling good and having fun. But I also know that's not true. And anyone who tells you life isn't hard sometimes is full of it. You're entitled to feel, DF.

HUGS,

Liese

Tn,

Glad to hear that you are still liking new T and he was able to see you a lot over the holidays!!!! I know New Years is hard for you. It's just a day, right? A day like any other. Yeah, right? Who am I kidding?

STRM and Marsh,

Oh it has to be hard to have a break like that. I'm sure you're both glad life will be going back to "normal" soon!!!! Are you both in college???? I used to despise the breaks and the lack of control I felt when I was in college. Are ya'all able to stay with the same T year after year while you're in school?

Love the title of this thread. HEAR HEAR! ~D.

Hi Liese,

It couldn't get back to normal to soon for me.

I gave some serious thought about going back to college but upon thinking about it, what is the point at my age. I might take some online course just to keep active, and to give me something else to think about.

Good to see you Liese

Just one more day everyone! I feel so puffy and yucky. I ate too much. Spent too much. Maybe 2011 will be a great year for you and me.

Welcome back Liese! So, you ate too much and spent too much money`?- that sounds like a real christmas trap..lol. Happy new Year!
I`ll see T friday, and i am one of those whom freaks out because of it, - for some reason going back to normal routine again makes me anxious.

Sad that the holiday season is over because that means no extra days off from a job that I don't really like. No days off to look forward it.

Hi Frog and Holding On,

Sorry that the week ahead is stressful for you both. I get so stressed anytime the kids are home from school. I have four and they are all different ages. They used to fight a lot but I am working on that with T. We are all learning how not to fight!!!! Lots of work!!!
