I think DH just tricked me into therapy

[kellbell191]

Brief synopsis: I push DH to try therapy, he does, drinks the therapy kool aid, is being treated for ADD and loves his therapist. Awesome. He then starts telling me he thinks I'm having anxiety issues again (I've been treated in the past) and I always say I'm tired (I work two jobs and we have a bajillion pets, I'm tired!). he's mentioned it a few times and I'm all eh, I know what it feels like when I'm not doing fine and I really am fine, whatever.

His therapist wanted to meet with both of us to discuss his diagnosis and treatment, it was fun, I like her. When we're making the next appointment she told me I can come back anytime and DH was all, oh, well if we make the next appointment for 6 pm, she can come back then with me!

Very sneaky DH, I AM ONTO YOU. In all seriousness I like her, I think my insurance is less than his. I'm just kind of feeling too lazy to work on myself. I'm in a pretty good place but whatever, it can only make things better.

I'm one of many people DH has been encouraging into therapy. He's turning into me, LOL

LOL. That is a funny turn of events.

If she has been seeing him for therapy for more than a few sessions it's odd for her to be adding you into the sessions.

Agreed. We also work in a similar professional context, in that she is sometimes an expert witness. I don't think we're doing anything long term or super involved, she had wanted me to come primarily to help DH with some stuff and make sure he's getting the support he needs at home to keep working on stuff.

What is your second job?

I'm a waitress! That's another long story. We have friends who own this amazing local foodie restaurant, they were short a weekend server with wine knowledge, and I volunteered. Everyone where I work 9-5 is a 60 yr old man so its been a good way for me to make friends too.
