More material to go on. Pictures, long paragraphs, you name it people want it.

My foot has been sore for a month or so, but only when I bend it just so. It's annoying.

[GiglameshDespair]

My page for my project has only gotten seventy something views and no response. I blame the "Oh yeah it's also incomplete and possible terrible" part.

Yeah, we're told almost nothing but it's terrible and highly unfinished. Not very encouraging.

[JoshuaFH]

I'm just so terribly shaken right now.

I went to my therapist today, because of some stuff I was a little late. I got to tell him about my new exercise stuff, but he wasn't very impressed by it. He brought up some stuff that I had forgot about and I couldn't help but withdraw. I just couldn't help it, I was stammering and looking for words the whole session, but then he just lost his patience with me. It was the coldest I'd ever felt from him. I didn't mean to upset him that bad, I just couldn't stop secondguessing myself or find what I wanted to say.

It's really obvious that I'm just wasting his time and my money. I don't think I'll go back anymore.

I just want to cry but I don't know if I can find it in me.

[JoshuaFH]

I just want to elaborate on earlier. It's the he said I just wasn't being ambitious enough, he's thinking that I've come in half-asleep or 'on something', that I was just gonna wind up wasting my life like my mother.

I just feel crushed. It's not like I have any real close friends or confidants, and it feels like I've spoiled the rapport with this guy.

[WillowLuman]

Would he listen if you explain what you've told us to him?

[ggamer]

"Hey, do you ever say 'oh Glob,' just to say it?"
"No. But God does, sometimes."

The last Adventure Time episode is super melancholy

[WillowLuman]

Isn't it Gob? Also, yeah, that was sad.

I keep throwing up dinner, like regularly. The doctor says it's stress related. I'm on anti anxiety medications. Lovely. This time it's red because of the cough syrup. Yay? Well, now I'm hungry again. Damn it.

Moron # 2831 A former client has filed another complaint against me stating that "You should have told me that the deal with me would count against me if I caught another case."

I told him, and it's in writing but meh. Let's blatantly ignore the fact that he has re offended, again, because he has and it's funnier to do something so.

Let's focus on the bullshit language "caught another case." Yes, yes, as though it isn't you getting arrested again and like it's the fucking flu. You just so happened to get randomly arrested for the same shit you've done before, again....

I just straight up told him to quit fucking breaking the law and that [gasp] HE needed to change HIS behavior, not the rest of us.

I'm just going to attend the hearing and try not to give a shit.

In the meantime, I'm going to try watching something to calm down my stomach so this dinner stays down hopefully. Hurray?

I've dealt with a lot of therapists over the years: some good and some bad. It's very difficult at times explaining exactly what is wrong and how to fix that. Maybe this guy is upset because you can't stay on task, BUT maybe not being able to stay on task IS the problem he's there to help you with.... Chicken, egg, which came first?

I would explain to him pretty much what you told us. You greatly appreciate and value his opinion enormously, and wish you could make more progress. You're having specific problems doing that and want to get past those problems but don't understand how.

If you are having troubles finding the words to say, then might I suggest making some bulletpoints beforehand to stay on task. Just an idea, and based off your last post. I'm playing devil's ado vacate here and assuming the guy isn't a jerk.

1.) Lacking Clear Thoughts
A.) Unable to find the words / difficulty communicating
B.) Confusion
C.) Tending to withdrawal instead of face problems
D.) Forgetting things / lack of focus

Question: How do I keep my thoughts more clear so I can do better and follow plans / make progress?
Issues: There's something keeping me from doing this (some problem, lack of skill, whatever the roadblock is)
Solutions?: Skill building, solving X Problem, or overcoming the roadblock
Concern: How am I ever going to get better if I can't think clearly to follow plans that help me get better?

Desired result: Help following through and keeping my thoughts clear.

Please keep in mind that I am NOT a psychologist and have my own fair deal of problems. I want you to know that I am in no way attempting to make light of your situation and am attempting to help in the only way I feel I can. If this helps you in any way and your therapist approves, good. If it doesn't, then I apologize and please feel no obligation. It seems as though you're having a communication / expectation difficulty.

Again, that's just what I' m reading off two posts. If I am misreading things, I am sorry. The dead last thing I want is to cause you trouble. I sincerely hope you get better and that your life works in your favor.

Truean, maybe you need a good long vacation, badly.

[JoshuaFH]

I had the idea of what I wanted to say, I just suddenly got scared and indecisive. Because I haven't followed through on the shit we talked about, and my exercise is very unimpressive, I just got insecure and couldn't talk. I wasted the whole hour just looking down at my hands, trying to articulate but only muttered to myself.

I can see why he lost his patience with me, I've been seeing him for so long, more than a year now, and I'm still just a loser that's wasting his time.

I'll just cancel any future appointments, think of something else to do with myself. Whatever that is.

No maybe about it. Wish we could get a fund started to send Truean to a beach somewhere nice, or some other lovely vacation spot where idiots will not largely flock and attack. Somewhere that still has access to Bay12, so we can catch some happy.

You just started exercising. That's pretty fucking rad bro. You're doing better than I am. I had to sign up for credit to exercise, and even then I picked fucking badminton.

You're doing a good job with the exercise. Keep it up man. You're changing. It's slow but that's how everything starts.

[JoshuaFH]

Thanks, I really mean it.

I really miss playing sports with people.

You in college? Planning? They might offer some team sports as a one-credit course.
