Thanks Alison.....you always have just the right way of saying things!
Thanksgiving day was peaceful...I cooked and then we went over to friends for dessert and drinks. Yesterday brought me a wonderful surprise, when at one of my jobs, I met a woman who was a drug rep and a mom to a Type 1 adult daughter, who had just had lazer surgery done on her eyes. The woman gave me a new Freestyle meter and a $100 of strips--free! I almost cried. How sweet was that? She also said some other wonderful things that she didn't have to.....just boosting my day in general. As for the therapist, I'm annoyed at her for other reasons too. Of course none of us like to hear any criticsms....or you could call them "observations"...but on one occassion she had said that I needed to motivate myself to move forward. I had complaining that at this stage in my life, I needed to be part of a bigger picture---whether work-wise or parenting--to see a purpose for me being here.
I took offense to her saying I needed to motivate myself, when I motivate myself every day to test 8 times a day, correct when I'm high, go find a new job when I know it's time for a new challenge, rather than stay because it's "comfortable"....or take on a second any time that we need extra money, when all of my friends are sitting back in their $450,000 houses, bragging about everything they have......taking classes all the while to learn new things. I'd hardly call myself unmotivated. I'm just depressed. For this reason, I may look for a new therapist. I've given her a LOT of information, and just don't feel as if she's connecting the dots and giving me any useful feedback. I like her personally and worried that leaving would discourage her...she has confronted a lot of age discrimination for only being 27 years old, but I have to do what's going to work for me, right? Hugs!
