I just wanted to post a quick update. I'm so very sorry I haven't been around much, I kind of swoop in when I can grab some time and I miss being around more and not always being able to respond.
I'm still working OT although I think the end is in sight (we're redesigning one of the new features at the last minute and of course, it's one I've already completely documented.
). Things have been kind of difficult as my OT is putting quite a strain on my whole family and I've continued to fight with the sinus infection. I went to my doctor last Friday and convinced her to put me on a really strong antibiotic for 14 days in the hope that I won't be sick again all winter like I was last year.
It's been a little lonely because the schedule is such that I don't have time to stay really connected to my relationships (this forum being a case in point.
) and that's on top of not seeing my T. It will be seven weeks tomorrow since the last time I saw him. There's been one phone call, one email and I stuck a VERY short note on my last check I mailed to him. It's been very clear to me that I really was ready to leave therapy as I seem to be holding my own even through all this stress, but I also really miss him. Not being able to have that focused time has fed into the feelings of loneliness. I am definitely grieving about it, but it seems to come in small but intense waves, so I'm able to grieve but without the feeling that it's taking over my life.
But I'm tired and I'd like to get back on a normal schedule and pay some attention to my neglected relationships. It's also hard to sort out what I'm feeling about leaving my T from the stress of the overtime, so I'm looking forward to getting back to a more normal schedule so I can actually know how I'm doing (if that makes sense
)AG
....also that all the OT you are doing is putting a strain on your family. Good to hear that there is an end of sight...I hope then you can have some time for you.
