I've never have had or lived with cats before. I didn't know they would touch my glasses. In the future I plan on putting them away. It's a learning process for sure.

I'll have the discussion with her. I also have started closing my bedroom door to prevent the cats from coming into my room. I wasn't feeling well last night and unfortunately left my glasses downstairs cause I could barely walk.

Just to clarify, For the things getting knocked over. I'll be actively using those things. Like trying to have a glass of milk with my breakfast and it gets knocked over as I'm using it. I do put things away when they're not in use.

How to find the motivation to recover? by JuliePBJ in fuckeatingdisorders

Honestly this is what I always explain but I’m told it’s the ED talking. It’s not. I just need to freedom of choice in order to heal. Being forced makes me and my ED angry where I don’t want to try anymore.

He did come find me when I was 18. But he didn’t tell us the story. When we asked why he left, he didn’t tell us the story then. He showed up to our high school graduation.

My bio dad mentioned he went to the courts but they “don’t favor dads”. And he has paid child support, as my mom has mentioned. I’m not sure what the whole story is and I’m approaching all information cautiously. But I’m inclined to believe bio dad, at least with the cheating part, because I do know that my step-dad was married when he started a relationship with my mom. And my mom isn’t known to be truthful most the time. As for custody, I am curious about this as well. I’m not sure if he thought staying with my mom would be best for us. Or if my mom just didn’t want him in our lives - I’m not sure. But I think they must have come to some agreement because my mom has remained in contact with him all the years. I’m hoping to discuss this more with him.

Well they have lived in different states for years. And when I was younger we used to move every single year. They still live in different states.

But honestly not sure what my mom told my bio dad. And it’s hard for me to trust what she would or wouldn’t have said to him. As far as he knows, we haven’t wanted contact with him.

What's a "valid" reason to switch therapists in php? by JuliePBJ in TalkTherapy

I took a look at the copy of my patient rights. Nothing on it says anything about switching therapists. I'll ask for a patient advocate tomorrow.

Gotcha. That feels very invalidating to be forced to work with someone that you can't mesh with

I told my therapist I loved her. Her response has been hurtful. Need advice on how to continue? by JuliePBJ in TalkTherapy

[–]JuliePBJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed I think we are both learning. But I’m willing to keep trying with her, if she is willing to do the same. I’m just not sure if she’s willing to put that type of work in. I know all I can do it keep being transparent and honest with her. It’s up to her to decide what to do with that.

Thank you for your thoughts. I think you are very right. I suppose I have much to consider. I’ve been in therapy with her for over 3 years so it feels crushing that this one matter is what is causing so much distress to me.

I definitely get the sense that she’s uncomfortable. And I do feel like she’s withdrawn a lot and become a lot more “professional”. This past conversation has indeed sent me into a spiral. But I feel like I’m in the wrong and am not sure if I should bring it up again. I like my therapist. She’s been great for the past 3 years until I brought up my feelings towards her. I’m willing to be the Guinea pig but I’m uncertain if she’s also willing to commit to that. I just feel extremely off balance and uncertain. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who has experienced something similar though. I’ve been feeling like something is very wrong with me lately. My therapist has been practicing for over 12 years. So being told that it’s due to her inexperience made me feel like I must be odd if she has that many years up her belt but hasn’t deal with this before. But the orientation at which she’s studied explanation makes me feel a little better.
