So, I had half of a 14 page post all typed out and the FIRST freaking time I EVER spell checked a word with the handy, freaking, dandy spell checker provided by Dr. Bob, my computer froze up. Can you believe the horror? The audacity? See, I don't even know if that's spelled right. Can you check it for me and let me know?
Anyhoooo....
You were right, your last post wasn't interesting so I'll make a feeble (sp?) [see, I don't know why I care now, I never cared before] attempt to make this one twice as interesting to make up for the incredibly boring post you sent my way :)
I was touched that you said you save my posts for last. Last, like the last cookiein the cookie jar or the last cigarette in the pack. The one to be savoured. Or could you possibly mean that you dread replying to me. Like that last final that you just hate to have to study for, but you know you have to so you settle down, but only at the very last minute. Or the last five minutes of a movie that you just don't want to sit through, but you've already devote three hours of your time and sat with a lousy date who licked his fingers before reaching into your bucket of popcorn repeatedly and tried to rest his head on your shoulders even though you kept shrudging them. The date who left his cell phone on during the movie and even talked to his friend saying, "Yeah, I'm on a date with a girl who isn't that hot, but I'm trying to hook up with her friend." (I think we all know that guy, if not then I'd think you are that guy!) Yeah, that guy. Is that what you're comparing my posts to? That guy, that movie, that final? I surely hope not....I'll wait for your next reply to see.
And yes, I'd say I can be rather frightening at times. But, at times I can be fun as well. Take the good with the bad I guess. Weigh it out and see which you like I suppose? I'd have to say although I'm rather creepy (That's how I'd explain myself) I think I'm also witty and fun to be around or at least talk to. So, although I'm creepy I think that quirk (as I call it) suits me to a T!Another thing about your mum, do you think you can beat her to the punch. Maybe instead of her always hassling you about calling her, you could suggest calling her? Say, "Mum, I'll call you at 8." Maybe if you tell her you'll call her instead of her always insisting on you calling her she'll see that you are just as interested in making sure she knows that you are ok. And then maybe she'll lay off. Also, maybe you can suggest you two go places together. It'll get her out of the house more often. Just to the grocery or shopping together or just her taking you to class every once in a while may help her out. Now this may or may not work. No 30 day money back guarantee here. And if it does, don't come crawling back asking for more advice. The next time, it'll cost you, and my services run about the same as a therapist's. :)
I don't think your Pdoc will want to leave you if you ask to be referred to a therapist. Just broach the subject like this. "I'm intersted in starting therapy. Is there a therapist that you could refer me to or that you would suggest. I would also like to continue seeing you for my med check and having you as my Pdoc. Now, for that referral..." I'm sure that he would actually be pleased that you have decided to see a therapist. That's a step in the right directin ad I'm sure that he would be happy for you. There's no reason that he wouldn't be able to see you for your med check. No reason at all, as long as he doesn't do therapy. If he does do therapy for you that would be a problem. If it is strictly meds, it wouldn't be a problem at all!
I'd like for my therapist to be your therpist too. Unless you're prettier than I am. Or a better client. Or have better hair. Or nicer nails. Or progress faster. Or have less issues. Or a better daughter. Or don't have a tatoo. Or are less resistant. Or what if he likes you better? What if he returns your calls more than mine?See now this could cause problems...... If you became his client, just don't tell me, OK??? :)
And if you're a better daughter, PLEASE don't tell me, OK????? Other than that, I'm ok with it!!!! :)
Now nerviously awaiting your post,
Karen
