Not my area of expertise, but if what you are doing now isn't working then another approach may be what is needed. You need to be comfortable with and have confidence in the therapist. I'm really hoping this works out well for you.

Askye, I really hope this new approach works for you.
I'm not having a good day today. Lunch with friends seems to have taken all my spoons, despite being fun.

I'm sorry, sj. Take it easy on yourself. Spoons are understandably limited.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Starting therapy is not easy. Kudos to those who are taking care of themselves in this way right now.

Thrive to spite them
I'm ready for a new approach it's just...daunting and scary. I'm also pretty sure based on my reactions today that I'll need a regular appointment that doesn't change and have to make that day unavailable for work. At least for awhile.
I was having a hard time dealing with people with all the emotions below the surface and that was just talking about the prospect of it.
I guess it's time becuase I'm able to admit to the doctor today and to the therapist I've been seeing and mostly to myself some stuff that I've danced around or pushed aside.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And that he wants me to start psychodynamic therapy and taper of lithium. He is willing to let me keep the klonopon for now.
Can you start the psychodynamic therapy but keep the medications at least for a short-term thing? Because that's willing to try but also not asking a whole, whole lot of you that could be disconcerting.
Happy late-ish birthday to an asleep Tep.

Hivemind! We've gotten some exceptional tech support at work and want to reward with cookies. Who has an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe they like? It's not one any of us here bake.

I think my mother's oatmeal cookies are the One True Oatmeal Cookie. They're of the crunchy or chewy variety, depending on how long they're cooked.

I think all cookies should be underbaked so they are chewy. DH thinks all cookies should be baked until they are crunchy and caramelized.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I go to Great Harvest and buy their homemade cookies. Baking is hard.
