I must sound like a broken record by now, but I miss my T. I called him today because we had scheduled a time that I would, and it was so good to hear his voice. I've not been doing great - very anxious yesterday and sad all day today. Some of this is probably caused by the fact that I'm moving tomorrow (hopefully... it's a long story I won't get into, but I'd say it's 95% definite).
But it was so good to hear his voice. He picked up on how I was feeling even over the phone, he said I sounded down. And he sounded really concerned, asked how I was sleeping, said he'll talk to my pdoc when he gets back and see if she thinks changing meds would help me. I kind of hope he forgets that part (and he might), because I get nervous about taking meds. But he told me about where he was (he's on vacation). And I could really feel like he cared about me. He reminded me to hang onto the fact that I took a big step in taking care of myself by staying here this summer rather than going home.
And I miss him. At the end he made a joke because I told him when I had scheduled my next appt. for and I'll be his first appt. of the day. He said, "Not giving me much time to get back are you?" Normally that comment would really upset me even though I knew what it meant. He added that he was just kidding, and I could tell. I don't think he minds (I hope not - it was a time his secretary suggested!). And he said that he's definitely coming back.
I miss him. I really felt cared about in that phone call. And I miss getting that feeling more than a ten minute phone call.

I'm so glad you got to talk to him and that it went well. It's so hard sometimes over the phone, and it can leave you feeling flat. And I can see how you'd miss him after that, too.

Glad you've got a session scheduled so you have a date to focus on. I hope the move goes well.
Take care,
gg

Thanks gg. I'm not very good at talking on the phone - I really dislike it actually. But he seems pretty comfortable with silence. Once when I was on the phone with him I was getting all panicked that I wasn't thinking of what I wanted to say fast enough (I can deal with lots of silence in person, but I hate that dead silence on the phone). He could tell and I kept apologizing, but he just kept saying, "Take your time, you're ok."
Gosh I miss him. He knows just the right thing to say so often.

I'm glad it went well. And he is almost home again.
