Who's reading I'mNotHungry (56):

Yesterday in the midst of my despair, I told my therapist I wasn't coming back.  That *talk* therpay isn't helping, in fact, it's making things worse. 

Her response:  My emotions and thoughts are unmanageable and she is suggesting that we meet more than once a week, or I need to go the the hospital. Then came the directive that I need to contact her and let her know what day time this week I would like to come in for another appt.

Apparently, my communication is unclear.  I said I'm NOT coming back - not *please increase my time with you so I can waste even more money*!

My emotions re unmanageable because  I spend so much time working through my past and I can't process it during session and just leave it there.  I am unable to create a nice, neat little container to put my emotional self in at the end of the hour.  Leave your keys at the door, so to speak.  I don't work that way.

    so did you tell her you were done? What will you do now? I wish you all the luck, I know you can do this! What about IP? Have you changed your mind? ps...good morning!

    Good morning to you too...

    I'm just so incredibly frustrated because I am in so much pain and she doesn't take it away!

    I want it to go away!

    I was going to ask about IP also.  Is that on hold now?

    Oh I am so sorry abou tthat. I bet she thinks it is your call to make it go away. Such responsibility, is overwhelming! I was thinking IP might be a way to get some support so that you could share the struggle of recovery with more people?

    quiet, no I'm still fighting with my ins co.....

    M, she does and she doesn't.  she says i should take my anger out on her and not myself.  she says she knows I'm angry because she isn't taking my pain away.  I know it isn't her, but it hurts so bad!  bone crushing pain... want to die to make it go away pain.  And at times I can't fight it anymore.

    I wish you the very best hungry.  I do hope your ins. co. comes through for you.

    I am telling you, if you want immediate assistance and the kind that your ins co must pay attention to, go to the ER and tell them you are having a heart attack! Works everytime...and the thing is, it may not be far from the truth...your system is very much in shock from malnutrition and  excessive cutting, purging, you name it. So, get your little one off to where she is going...um, call your ex and tell him to wish you luck,,,let your therapist know to meet you there if that is how she rolls with it...go to starbucks and have a nice strong yummy frappacino and then...walk in and let them know..."i am here"!!

    Good luck H!!!!!!! LYLAS!!

    Hey there.  I'm sorry she doesn't seem to be listening to you.  I mean, that's what you want a therapist for, to make you feel like you're being heard.

    Given the severity of what you're dealing with, of course you can't just neatly put it all back in the box when you're done!  Your therapist is rather limited in what she can do, i.e. the only thing she can offer you is more time, more time.  That's the only solution she knows and by giving you directives she's trying to hand-hold you through it in case you are in a place where you can't deal with anything less clear.  But part of her responsibility is to make sure that you're okay when you leave, not to send you out still raw.  Not to take on so much in one session that there's no way to close it.

    IP could be very good for you if you can wrangle the insurance.  The kind of round-the-clock support that you need right now, and a few different approaches than just talking it all over again.  I'm with Mamie!  Either claim a heart attack or the next time you have one of those dizzy spells, get to the hospital.  An ER doc explaining that IP is a matter of life or death for you should get your ins. co's attention, no?

    I don't know much about that.  I was never insured in the States and here anything deemed medically necessary is covered automatically.

Have you ever felt lonely, even though you were surrounded by a lot of peple?...
It's obvious that most people don't want to read about people being victimized by people or their own mental illness unless the victim is famous. The everyday Joe doesn't seem to matter. It's either that or I don't matter. I highly doubt that I don't...
There are many reasons as to why children may need physical therapy. It could be because they have cerebral palsy and they need physical therapy...
