Job anxiety and other anxiety in general has led Tom to suggest that perhaps I should get back into therapy, due to high stress and drifting toward depression. Blah. I so do not want to deal.
I know that feeling. I know it all too well. But! The thing about therapy (which I know you know) is that it ultimately helps you deal better, without needing therapy or crashing into depression. At least, that's been my experience.
It's not so much teaching you new coping skills as helping you reset your patterns of how you react in given situations, so that those situations don't put the whammy on you.
You have no idea how fucking amazing it was the first time I was able to just walk away from my mom when she was being manipulative and judge-y, and just shake my head and think "She needs to deal with *her* issues." I had NEVER done that before.
ION, it's raining, and I'm resenting the rain itself, because I wanted to take a walk. Instead I'm drinking coffee and listening to Digable Planets, which isn't a bad tradeoff.

ETA: Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I think I'm ready to start my day. Later, Bitches...

I woke up about an hour and a half ago, and have been lying in Nicole's comfy guest futon, using someone's wireless connection, listening to my itunes, chatting on AIM and catching up here. Nicole's up now, there was nekkid Kristin and soon there will be coffee.
I could get used to this unemployment thing.
DH's phone went off. he is going to help out friend B move a shed. but BIGB decided to move the time up- DSH's phone always makes my heart race. so I have been awake since 730. and not in the happy way. I had at least a half an hour of the "well it is possible I am awake, but my eyes have no desire to open " stage. It might even have lead to more sleep.

Yeah, that's so what I need to do now.

It is n't the worst idea , and at least you would feel like you were doing something
Nora, though I am a therapy coward right now, I agree that it is a healthy, good choice. Listen to the brave people.
I am now being manipulated by my cat. Rusty meows until I follow him to his food bowls- which makes sense - it is time. I drop some kibble in the bowl. he sits there looking at it and at me and at it. he wants the other food. so I give hime some. ( actually. I am pleased - it is the first time he has asked for the other food) ( but still - aren't I supposed to tell him what he eats? )

My $.02. Therapy is good.
