have you been doing anything nice nf?
I have sat for the past few hours just throwing thoughts about my head, like playing a ball game inside!!!
I have psychologist in the morning, I am not sure if I am pro or against it, hence the ping pong game in my head.
I have printed some of my posts off to take it with me, of course that just freaks me out looking at what i wrote.....
but enough pondering, are you doing ok?

niteflier replied to niteflier's response:
Hey Chez, no I havent been doing anything but playing ping pong as well.
I did like my counselor. It took me a long time to open up to him (he was surprised I didn't ask for a woman and asked me why I stayed with him). I told him trust doesn't come in a neat little package (i.e. a woman vice a man in this instance)

I kept notes in a tiny notebook and gave them to him at the end of the session. If I wanted to we could talk about it the next time or not. I just wanted him to know my thoughts, not necessarily talk about it right then. I never reread what i wrote as I knew I would not give them to him. (i.e. when i reread my posts, i just cancel them, but wish I had sent them out.

If you can find it to fold up the papers, seal them in an envelope that may make things easier. I gave mine at the end so I would not have to deal with it at my first few sessions (actually it took me months to open up as much as i did).

Hope this helps and you have a good session tomorrow.

In a way I wish you were awake, but if your asleeep I am happy that you are able to and hope it is a peaceful sleep.

niteflier replied to Chez1's response:
I am sorry to hear that you are not coping at all and have gone through what you have today.

I don't know why we (I) think it will make us(me) feel better (if I am reading you right), but for some reason we(I) do. Why we(I) keep doing it with no positive results I don't know. I put it that way because I think you feel the same way. It is frustrating as ^&*(.

Is it 2am there? What time is your appointment?

Chez1 replied to niteflier's response:
so you dont have the answer, shame really as me either! it is indeed half past 2 here, my appt is at 8.30. I am supposed to go onto work right after that but not really sure how possible that is, some of what i have done tonight is so destructive i so dont belief i am fit to work, but right now can not think of how to change it.
sorry to put this on you, i am just glad someone is up

niteflier replied to Chez1's response:
No worries, chez, i was worried i would keep you up. I hate to hear that tonight has been so destructive for you. can you take time off tomorrow without them flipping out? If so, a break would do you well after your therapy. I have to ask - you don't have to answer - should you see a doctor due to the destruction tonight or at all? I have come close several times, but never went to see a doctor. I guess that is pushing my luck.

I wish I could reach through and give you a soft ((hug)), but i keep running into the screen.

do you ever sleep well?

Chez1 replied to niteflier's response:
cant really take time, I am in control of my own work load but only member of staff in tomorrow, but then i think fk it, me and mine are more important than work, i will decide that in the morning. I do to push my luck, no need to get anyone else involved i feel in control (to a certain extent). I really do just wish i understand the urge and behaviour, it is so new to me. If it was faced with me as a client at work i would have much less confusion but that just makes me question my work ethos more.
No worries about you not getting through the screen, i felt it shudder a couple of times!!!
Tell me how you are doing? Are you ok with what you shared before and did it help or not??

I'm doing ok and am ok with what i shared before. Not sure if it helped or not, feel kind of numb to it. I think that is the denile stage in me....

How long has it been since you started getting the urge and acting on them?
