Hopefully it isn't against some kinda rule that a newbie can't start a randoms thread! I've lurked for quite some time and had posted here some, as recently as a week or so ago under a different name (shauniemae). I've changed that, though, and went with a name less likely to be attached to me.

Anyways...on to the randoms. I started back at therapy last night for the first time in over a year or so. It didn't feel very satisfying. It was more of a get-to-know-you type thing, which is needed when first starting, but idk. Something just seemed off. I've scheduled a follow up but that isn't for 3 weeks.......oy. I have so much I need to talk about/get off my chest and really no close friends or family to vent to. Being an adult is tough! I need some joy and happiness in my life. Not much of that exists right now.

I also started a new AD in the last couple weeks and it's making me sooo sleepy. I think I'll need to change to taking it at night instead of midday.

Share yours please!!

I am feeling better today, but if I could have taken the day off I would have. My temp got up to 100.9 last night, around midnight when I took it last.

I booked our camping trip for the amusement park this August. I'm excited. DDs will be excited. They'll have a busy week that week too because we'll be heading there just days after they get back from a trip to Great Wolf Lodge with XH. I just hope they're not so tired that they're crabby for me!

shoofly, I would find a new therapist asap. That is a really long time to wait between appointments.

I'm considering it...I hate to jump around, but I have to start somewhere. The only issue is that this location is covered by my EAP through my employer. Only the first 3 sessions are free...maybe not worth it to stick with them. Thanks for the suggestion!

Don't feel bad about jumping, shoofly. You have to find a therapist that works for you. You aren't feeling it with this one. If you weren't all that into a guy after the first date, you wouldn't go on a second. Your therapist should be someone you are comfy with. You have to be able to spill your guts, ya know?

Definitely find one you feel you connect with. I wasted too much time and money on a therapist who had me sit for 3/4 of each appointment and write my thoughts and draw my visions. She barely wanted to talk, and I'm a talker. I need to talk things out. Draw my visions...Sure, let me take this time to draw me sitting on my couch alone at night eating an entire bag of Doritos. GTFO with that shit. WASTE OF TIME. I'm sure that works for plenty of people, but it doesn't work for me.

Now I have a therapist who actually wants to talk, and whose methods work for me, and it is so much better!
