Sick. in pain... anxious.
Second appointment with new anxiety therapist.

...I have a feeling she's going to suggest I try group therapy every other week.

hahaaaah!

Good luck with this new anxiety therapist Weirdy!
I hope she is more understanding and can offer more help then the others.
Let us know how it goes if you are able to.

^ I'm not sure, but I like it.

My Accounting final is online, and my teacher said it was open book, which is awesome. One less thing I have to worry about studying for.

......Lucky. I wish I had an open book test! I mean, I have an online test as well, but it's not guaranteed to be open-book::. Now, can we trade exams? I'd like for you to do my English exam because Emily Dickinson is confusing! She's too vague in what she says and means!

Well, I suppose you have to go through failures before you reach success. Well, here's wishing that something works! But, what's hurting you Weirdy?

 

[WeirdyMcGee]

But, what's hurting you Weirdy?

Womanly pain.

 

[DeadmanWalking]

Womanly pain.

......Oh. Well, unfortunately, I can't help with that. The only thing I can do is offer moral support and tell you that it will be alright and it will pass. Is there anything you can do to alleviate the pain a bit?

nope.
I'll survive, I always do. -__-
Just not looking forward to going to an appointment tomorrow, since it'll be the most painful day.

Why would the appointment be the most painful day? Does your stress level have some sort of effect on your "pains"? I'm sorry if my questions are a bit personal. I'm just concerned a bit, is all.

 

[Silatuyok]

My eyes are super dry and I'm exhausted from crying. But, all's well that ends well. I think things will be better from here on out.

haha
usually the pain lasts 5 days. By the third day, it's the worst and the most uncomfortable.
Most times- I can't even move on the third day and spend all day in the fetal position.

Oh dear. Reading this is making me feel more and more miserable, you know? I feel bad that one of my friends is in pain and all I can do is offer words of consolation. I wish there was something I could do. The only thing I can think of is to give warm, fuzzy hugs and offer horrible puns as a sort-of anathestic. So here it goes.

*warm and fuzzy hugs*

I'd offer a pun as I promised, but, the one that I thought of,...... well, horrible doesn't even begin to describe it. I'd tarnish my honor on this site as Prince of Puns!

Womanly pain.

This makes me so glad to be male. You have no idea.

Why were you crying? What's wrong? ::

 

[Srijita52]

I'm feeling really depressed right now. Trying to eat my feelings away lol.

Oh no what's wrong Marie? Why are you crying? But crying does help sometimes to get all hard feelings out..hope you feel better soon

That's not good! Although I can't say anything because I munch away my emotions, too, despite it never working. What's gotten you depressed?

The sufferings of a friend and the fact that I can't be much of a help is really killing me.

Your therapy is probably a lot different to mine but I know I seem to look forward to it, even though I'm nervous as all hell. I've only had 3 sessions, though, and you've probably had 3,000, so there's a difference there.

Yeah, I understand. Not being able to help a friend in need can be depressing as well as frustrating. As long as they know you have them in your thoughts, that might be enough for them. Don't beat yourself up if you can't do anything and it's out of your control...you're already doing plenty by being there for moral support and a comforting ear if needed.

Second session with this therapist.
...I don't think I've seen therapists 3,000 times... and no matter how many times I see a particular person, I still don't feel comfortable.
Uncomfortable around strangers, friends and family alike. Doesn't matter how 'well' they know me... and I know that no matter how long you've known a person for; you never really 'know' them.
Everyone may as well be a stranger. they can be a kind stranger or an empathetic one-- but they can still be a wolf in sheep's clothing, as the saying goes.

^Thanks Mikey, I really wish if I can be even the slightest help cos I know its hard to deal with such problems, specially when everyone wants you to 'just get over' them. We all wish if it was so easy......

This sounds like gigantic trust issues, even with people that are there to help you out. It's unfortunate.

I know that you'll never really "know" a person - I'm still finding out things about my best friend of the last 8 years - just as you'll never know your therapist personally. However, as long as they're warm, inviting, and I can feel safe and secure around them, there's no real issue. You keep thinking of the absolute, utter worst case scenario. ::

It's very, very hard to "just get over" something, no matter what it is. I know that, and so do you. And so do the people telling you to "just get over" it.

You may not realise it, but you're being a huge help to your friend because they know you're there for them. That means a lot.
