Update

I don't think therapy is working. She lets me ramble on about what's going on in the present and I don't need help with that. I need to deal with the shit in the past because its far more intense and far more damaging than anything going on now. I need to talk to her about this at my appointment Wednesday. In the mean time I bought this:


I know it seems ridiculous but I seriously went to the bookstore looking for a workbook to deal with my issues. I don't know why I thought I needed it, but apparently I work well writing things out and having homework. I've done one chapter and I really like it. I think I will show my shrink on Wednesday but I'm not sure if she'll be offended by it.

Other than that, things are ok. I'm a bit lonely because all my friends who don't drink, or can do other things but drink, or aren't annoying drunks are up in LA and I don't go up there a lot. Massachusetts folk...its like driving to Boston from Worcester. I do it a lot more than other people but sometimes I just don't want to. Today I was gonna go skate Venice but couldn't fathom the drive. I can't wait to be closer. I can't wait for school to start. I just wish I wasn't so afraid to spend money cuz I'd drive up the coast since I have plenty of time

Oh...and I listen to my ex boyfriend's radio show just to hear his voice. It's comforting.

I am really impressed with your gung-ho-ness.

(I'm not assuming you're doing this, but) I found it very easy when I was in therapy to kind of challenge the therapist by allowing him to lead the discussion through questions to see whether or not he would ever hit upon the things that were really bothering me. He didn't. So I stopped going.

Needless to say, it took me a long time to come to terms with my personal demons (still working on one or two or ten!).

If your therapist can't handle you being actually INTO feeling better, then... it's time to get a new therapist :)

Love you lots.
