Well that didn't go as planned...

[loneroze]

So I go into therapy to get first assessment yesterday, and I told the woman (first mistake) that I OCCASIONALLY (as in 3 times in the last 4 months) smoke pot to sleep; because well I don't sleep that long or that well anymore. I also told her about the nightmares, the past family problems, and the recent breakup. She spent the rest of the hour

my own therapist once had some comments to me about the inordinate amount of idiots in her profession after i explained to her some of the things that jills therapist had said to her, the medication issue is one that seems to change from treatment to treatment especially given the fact that the body can build up a tolerence to different chemicals over an extended amount of time, the backdraw to this being the fact that some psychological meds take a number of weeks to build up to an effective level in the system, as far as any sort of rehab goes, i dunno what to say to that other than the fact that some people do not realize there is a thing known as responsable drug use (morgan was a great person to illustrate how to do things responsably) and a lot of people dont realize that pot, in most cases is not chemically or psychologically addicting, but at this point i hate to say it but its best to bite your tounge and hold back on your anger till full on solo therapy sessions and hope that the therapist is a good fit, because in therapy as in any other relationship in your life, it all comes down to someone who fits you properly. if your hospital mandated therapist doesn't quite get it, just stick trhough it and find a better fit post hospitalization, and do what you can for now to work through the issues that you actually can work with...

i really dont mean this to be preachy, and if it comes off like that please forgive me... im just, trying to pass on the things that ive learned the hard way.

im worried about you hun, and as always im pullin for you.
