How are you feeling?

[MikeyC]

I was up most of the night coughing and worrying about this copyright thing, so I didn't fall asleep until 7AM this morning. Naturally, I slept through my alarm clock and missed my 11AM therapist appointment. She isn't available again until early January. That will be six weeks in between visits. That makes me nervous. In my head, I know she won't care (other than possibly being concerned for me), but that little irrational part of my brain is screaming that she is going to yell at me or judge me for being a bad patient or something else completely stupid. I'm also worried about how much **** will accumulate in the next month. The past two weeks have been both wonderful and awful. Another four weeks might put me over the edge. I shouldn't have slept through the god damned alarm!

Your therapist will not judge you or yell at you for missing the appointment - if she does, she's no good. Things will pile up over the course of the next month, which is natural, so it's best to deal with them as they come along. Of course, I can try to help you out when necessary, but I know I won't be able to provide the same level of advice or contact she has.

I haven't seen my therapist in 3 weeks and I'm due back on Tuesday, which I'm hanging for, so I know how you're feeling.

Regarding the copyright thing, don't even think about it. I can't possibly imagine you will be contacted again by him.

Nothing like having family members laughing in your face when your being serious to make you feel small and insignificant. And they wonder why I don't talk much.

I know exactly how you feel. My family does this to me as well. It really sucks.

You gotta love SA,scared over the most stupid,mundane things. I have to send an Email to a local photographer and im actually terrified.Im scared he'll be really busy and get super annoyed or something

Has a 102% in my computer systems course! Buttt, considering I spend most of my time on the computer it's really not a big deal lol

^ Awesome! I've never gotten more than 100% average. I wonder if I'll ever obtain something like that someday... Hm...

Reminds me of a friend of mine back in high school. She was a math genius. I used to call her a "human calculator" because she was so good. She was in advanced math classes and everything, and at one point she had a 105% average. Blows my mind, it does.

I know how you feel. I had to apply for a job over the internet, without even leaving my room, and I had a twinge of anxiety about it. Makes no sense!

But I did it. And so should you. While it may be a little scary, remember that it's just an email and, in a worst-case scenario, he can delete it without reading it in 0.5 seconds. He won't be annoyed.

I feel like I have this weird sense of inner hysteria going on inside my head. I also feel like I could cry, but no tears will come.

^creativity masked by hysteria?

My ability to study sure has been. I wish there was a faster way to calm down, but apparently it's being a slow process.

You're such a good guy. Thank you for all your advice and kind words.

im REALLY hoping i can go back to work soon....

I mean, sitting around at home watching TV is nice and all....but thats all i did in the hospital for 3 straight weeks, and thats all ive been doing now. Id really like to be able to be mobile, and go drive somewhere, go get a starbucks or somthing.

Immobility, or limited mobility, is the suck!

bad week ends badly ::

Hm? What do you mean by end badly? What happened?

Anyway, let's make next week end better than this, huh? I hope that things get better for you.

I feel crap. Just utterly crap.

I'm going to a friend's house tonight for a couple of drinks again, and I really, really do not want to go. I'm depressed and I just want to be on my own and do my own thing, that is listen to music and/or watch something and have some food. That's it. But here I am, going to his place. Better put on the smiling face.

He is being unusually pushy, too. He has basically said we're going to the pub tonight, and tomorrow we are going to get some Yum Cha (Chinese). Saturday night he asked me to go to a pub crawl. He knows I work Sunday morning, so his suggestion is to drink all Saturday night, get no sleep, go to work Sunday morning for 3 hours, sleep most of Sunday, go back to work that night, then go to bed again for Monday and sleep most of Monday if necessary. Hey, why don't I just rearrange my whole life, and waste two days, just to please you?

I'm sorry to dump this on the forum - truly - but my goodness, I'm not a puppet. Rest assured I am definitely not going to the pub crawl. I'll go tonight but I'm not drinking Saturday night.

You're such a good guy. Thank you for all your advice and kind words.

You're very welcome, my friend.

Understandable. I'd be quite annoyed if I had the same thing or something similar happen to me, too. It's good that you're being considerate of both your friend and yourself, though.

I don't blame you for being upset. You should tell him to rearrange his schedule around yours and see how he feels about that.

You're very welcome, my friend.

When I was younger my friends used to have to drag me outta bed to get me to hang out so I know what its like having people making you do stuff you don't wanna do. But you're you shouldn't have to rearrange your whole life, and waste two days just to please them. I think it's so great of you to even go out the one night given the way your feeling so don't feel bad that you won't go out the second night ok? And don't say sorry for posting this that's what the sites for and after all the help you give on here you're more than entitled to have a little rant. And ditto to what superfluouslyme said

I'll take it. I'll be your punching bag for the night.

@superfluouslyme hi-YAAAA (karate chop)

I am being very, very considerate of him because I am this close to faking a headache and telling him I can't go. I probably won't do that, so I'll put up with this for tonight. I might have some fun, who knows.

I don't blame you for being upset. You should tell him to rearrange his schedule around yours and see how he feels about that.

Yeah, he wouldn't like that. Not too long ago I asked him if he wanted to go to the local music shop with me and he couldn't because he just woke up and it was too inconvenient.

I won't be rearranging anything, don't worry. Not pub crawling tomorrow night at all, no matter what.

I should also point out he's pushing me to save money for Bali/Malaysia/Phillipines in April. Probably not going to happen, either.

Thanks for all the replies.

Well good I'm glad your doing something for you. Really? Wow he is pushy!
No problem at all
