I went to my session today and just cried my eyes out. Now the strange thing is that I was not nervous about my session, wasn't talking about anything difficult, and actually was in a pretty good mood. All my T asked me was, "How are doing today?" Well, that's when the uncontrollable sobbing started. I kept it up for the whole hour while the poor woman kept trying to get me to verbalize my tears. All I could manage to get out between blowing my nose was, "I don't know." And seriously, I have no idea why I was crying. It was the craziest thing. Well she looked so concerned and that was making me cry even harder. Now, I'm all about a good cry now and then, but shouldn't there at least be some kind of reason? And this crying was out of control. The whole ride home, I kept trying to get a grip and figure out what the hell that was all about. I actually almost started laughing to myself because it was so bizarre to me. I imagined my T making a notation after I left: crazy patient-hope she plans to stay in therapy for many more months to come! Please tell me that this has happened to somebody out there????
