finally, t figured it out. he scoot his chair up closer when he talk
with us. he listened and asked lots of questions. he even understanded
when we shook head cause we not did know big words.
at end t said thank you for coming out and talking to him. i thought
that was nice thing to say to rave.
oh ya, he was half hour late for session. made it hard to get settled.
thas it. he only asked if once about evl. t asked if he was back in
house. no, evl not back.
rave didnt know how to gets big so we could leave. had to ask t 3 times
to help be big. finally he understood and did a time line with us to go
forward and it helped.
but now worried for hope and lilpddle. lilpddle use to having lil time
with t. lil fraid everyone is leaving her and wanted to talk to t.
glad rave finally gots to be ok to talk to t. she talks funny too. she
talks different. with higher sometimes. is funny but kinda cute. we not
did know she talked like that.
k, done.

is good. maybe let t know that a few minutes needs to be given at the
end for lilpddle to be able to at least say hi. t used to do that, or
if no time he would tell kat that he would talk with her next time so
she knows he still aware of her and cares. maybe you can tell her she
gets some time next visit. or she can draw him a picture or write
something for him. just to reassure about connection.
t being late so much is very wrong. sorry. we think he needs to fix.
either make later appt. or be on time. our pdoc is always late,
chronically. for us is not big deal cause she only does meds. isn't
about us or needing time for talking. is short, catch up on how meds
working, get script, leave. but other her clients not happy. very not.
isn't really ok, except in special emergency or very bad traffic or
something out of person's control.
sorry. hope that isn't trigger. don't mean to. just think is not
fair.
betsy only not cause we all jumbled and not sticking together too well

thanks for sharing
can talk about all that hear. can even check in on your body from your
head to your toes and if there's that ache in your chest where it gets
lonely and sad and how it feels when the animals come close. it all
matters here. it does.

> betsy
thank you. i get tired of hearing the stuff in my head and then when i
put it out in public i begin to feel like i am wallowing and it adds
to all the bad feelings. don't want to only be complaining just this
year has gotten worse and worse on the outside and we are getting more
messed up inside so it is very hard to be other these days. do try.
did go to two nice party's yesterday and did have a good time. so i
guess i'm not wallowing really.
also extremely stressed about money. think i have to apply for food
stamps. feels shameful cause i look at body and think it can work and
function ok. but thinking does not. does not worse than ever. thinking
of trying to work in regular job, even part time, makes insiders get
wildly upset. work store one day a week and come home feeling like we
want to d*e. i know it is the right thing to not make us worse and is
ok to utilize program that helps but still feel like i should be more
healthy by now. increases that belief in being loser and being
hopeless.
is just a not very good year. maybe new one will be better. hoping.
betsy
yes. thank you for reminding. talking helps sometimes. helps relieve
some pressure.
have gone back to t. is ok. have to work some things out. but is good
decision. have talked recently about asd being the only place we can
exist and not feel fear of constant shame and rejection.
our ache in chest becomes unbearable pressure. wakes us up at night
gasping and frozen. is most terrible feeling. awake is only relief.
even with meds still have the pressure. like a boulder on our chest.
animals do help. they don't judge. they like our love. is relief.

we think you hurting
we think you sharing is good. think it can help you not have such big
feelings. helps us too. makes it more easy for us to maybe talk. also,
we cant read long big posts much right now but we can read yours
usually. gives us something to focus on.
ya, t late is issue and he is very much know it gets me upset inside.
when i showed mad on outside about him being late, he got very defensive
and then we went through several weeks of little hiding behind a chair
afraid of t. t tries, i know he does, i know he cares about being on
time. I just think he has a busy life.
I think thats a good idea about telling t that lil needs to say a quick
second to say hi each session. I am not sure how to tell t, but I think
i want to try.
thanks jumble betsy who thought she was unsticking but, wrote a really
helpful post, as if she is *very* together. :)
I like betsy! :)

It's his job to manage his time so that his busy life doesn't have an
impact on his time with his clients. It's unprofessional of him not to
do that.
Juniper
HI HI HI Juniper. Today was cleaning basment and found a little box. it
was empty. it was in my special tub of things. lots of different things
in tub like pictures, baby shoes, stuff.. couldn't understand why i had
box.
looked at label.... it was from you! have the shells in magic wooden box
on my desk right next to my puter with t magic rock and magic clean
shells that cleansed my clothes when i got physical therapy. saved the
mailing box cause i rememember how special that someone is that would
take the time to send me gift of sense of safeness and cleanliness.
you are special juniper. your act of kindness will always be very very
dear to me.

we don't think you are
is maybe important to remember that "normal" people get depressed and
struggle when lots of life stuff happens.
