anyway, last monday after my session with my lovely counselor i hopped in my car&cut my fingertips open. took forever cleaning up. by that time my counselor was leaving (we're the last ones in the building because she stays late for me), too, so she pulled up beside my car to check on me. ladies, don't let anyone on your outpatient team catch you with blood running down your arms. the sad part? this has happened before. twice. i should fuckin know better. so then the next morning she leaves a voicemail letting me know there's an envelope at the front desk for me. so i pick it up the next day. inside is a note saying i should have a friend pick me up from therapy for the next six weeks. also a client safety contract. obviously i was torn between laughing&punching someone in the face.
it's a fucking joke. basically no cutting, restricting for over 12 hours, purging by exercise, diet or water pills, etc. told you it was funny. i'm pretty positive that if i didn't sign it she'd have handed me off to another therapist. so i signed it, made a copy, &dropped it off at the office this morning. at the bottom though i fixed it. so with my edit it said "by signing i agree (enough) to (try) the terms stated above."
i'm rambling now&will probably not say anything useful so feel free to check out now. anyone else think therapy is awkward? i guess i don't know therapy etiquette. rules. whatever. so i tiptoe around everything. i'm nervous though. because people only put up with me for a certain amount of time before they give up. you probably know this because you've probably experienced someone losing faith in you not long after insisting they never will. stupid humans acting human.hold on, calico just jumped in my window&is in my lap wanting to be cuddled. okay, back. so much cat hair. right, humans. humans are the worst of creatures. entertaining though. especially over here in the usa after that debate. our president pulled a bush by shooting for a pass instead of a win. oops. to be fair, though, romney is campaigning full time so he threw everything at that debate. obama is sort of busy being potus. enough on that. probably too much on that.
since i'm sure you're very concerned about my curls, i've got to inform you they're thinning. my hair is falling out at a messy pace. i run my fingers through my hair in the morning to prevent shedding at work&toss a big clump away every time. abdominal pain is a constant thing again. but it's nice to be watching my weight go down again, too. i'm at a technically healthy weight right now. i get told a lot (once or twice a week by strangers) that i look like a ballerina. i don't know what they mean, but i'm alright with that. i bought xenadrine at el walmarto. the cashier asked if it worked. i shrugged. she asked if it was an impulse buy. i told her i'd been taking it for around a year. when i stepped around to get my bags she told me i didn't need it&that i was so small already. so basically i hate that they have to check your ID to let you buy it because apparently it's a conversation starter.
eyes are watery from yawning. i suppose i ought to jump in bed. i bought a new blanket because of the chilly weather. in other words, i take longer getting out of bed&i wear it as a cape around in the mornings. part of the super exciting safety contract mentions three meals a day along with two healthy snacks. i'm wondering if she'll laugh when i ask what constitutes a meal. fuck.
to look skinny sitting on a small place in shorts. that's a goal.

p.s. bought stevia today because i'm getting tired of black coffee.

Hi Zette,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear from you again. I am wondering, are you serious about therapy or are you just playing games?
Take care. I mean it.
Love
Judith
How long have you been going to counselling for? Do you think it's helped at all?
ReplyDeleteTake care and look after yourself (or at least try, please).
Hey Zette,
ReplyDeleteI too felt awkward at counseling, at times. But I have never EVER admitted to an ED, just your pasic bi polar depression garbage. But yes, bottom line. Its difficult. I feel you pain and glad your still going and trying.
Been a while since we talked, I broke my old phone and lost your number so if your ever free shoot me a text.
Love and Luck dear

Long time since we've heard from you, Zette! Seems like you might be making some progress with your counselor, which in my mind, is definitely a good thing. It's obviously a challenge, but probably a good one, in the end.
ReplyDeleteDon't stay away for so long, ok? Glad you're finally better from the strep.
It's so good to see this post. I've missed reading your blogs. <3
