Mothballs of fire
It might be obvious but I'm going to say it anyway. It's COLD! I was forced to brave the skating rink that is my road and actually managed to survive. If I'm honest it wasn't as bad as it was last year. Even so, it can all go away now. Bye bye ice.
I may actually be a little bit in love with my therapist. The session today went well despite having to read the assessment about me - it's never good to see in print how fucked up you are. He has once again diagnosed me with Major Depressive Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder and he thre Generalised Amxiety Disorder and Avoidant Personality Disorder into the mix too. Whee. I found out he's newly qualified (Sept 09), went to Bali to celebrate and wanted to goi to Australia this summer but can't afford it. I'm persuading him to go to China and will distract myself this week by making a potential travel plan for him since he thinks I am the expert. I will definitely try to send him to Yantai because that's real China to me.
He tols me I have a lot of judgement thoughts and how I need to start trying to challenge them using facts as evidence. E.g. "I'm stupid" - how can I be if I have a degree and am a teacher? He thinks my quirkiness is a huge positive, even after I told him about Hitler cat, who I was thinking about yesterday. I also talked about missing Gavin, my relationship with Gavin, moomins and some other more miserable things. But he made me laugh and I came out feeling quite cheerful.
I must write some lessons plans tonight so that at least in the first week of term I am up to date with myself.
