I talked to him about it today at my appt and how it felt like I was dangling off a cliff and not having him to talk to making it worse. He empathized with me and it seemed like he understood how I felt because he gave an example back to me and I said bingo. Then he told me most people have those feelings too (where you feel like you seriously need to connect with someone but can't) and that I wasn't the only person who ever feels like that, so that made me feel a little better. He said eventually I will be able to risk sharing my fears with other people not just him and that he's just there to practice on. Instead of chewing people's heads off when they try to talk to me, we decided I could say, "I'm feeling sad today, could I talk to you about it?" and that way pretty much anyone would feel alright about connecting with me, and then I would be off of that cliff.
I have had only 4 hours sleep every night for the past three days because of work (staying up late to type). This morning on Facebook my husband signed into our daughter's account so he could post this clip for me:

I think he gave you a good suggestion. Hopefully people will be willing to talk with you. I remember that clip from the Simpsons. I hope you get to catch up on some sleep!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea. I wish I lived closer I miss having someone to talk to. My one and only neighbor I like at our complex moved last wk so now all I have are my online friends but that's ok too. Hope you get some sleep.
