Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Well I went to a counseler on Thursday for myself. I used to have a one and it stopped after EI and I couldnt afford one. I have alot to learn I was alittle bewildered He told me I have to start putting myself first and I told him not so easy when I have Mic because to me Mic is #1. He replied if your not happy then nobody is happy and I guess hes right.He also tried to help me understand how men think.He said mostly selfishly I laughed and being he is a man. I will go on Mondays and Wednesdays for alittle while then he wants me to go to a group.He says you wont feel so alone if you see other people having the same problems. He also thinks along with all general anxiety disorder/depression stress induced menopause I have post tramatic syndrome.He asked me when all the problems with myself began and I told him Mic was 3 months old before we even knew he was Downsyndrome and in congestive heart failure then autism and my mind has not been right since that day.Therefore causing post tramatic stress syndrome. I came out of there feeling good. He also thinks I need to cry because I dont.So I spent all day yesterday crying.Strange how he triggered that.I cried over my parents over Mic over everything going on with my relationship.But I did it by myself.All in all I have hope this will help our family and have a good feeling and I know at least I am trying to resolve our relationship problems.And in the end if it doesnt work I will know I tried. So thank you Liz for being so open and honest you certainly made me take a look at our life and thanks to all of you for being so supportive. My counseler has a grandson 2 years old just dxed with autism and he asked me alot of questions so in a way we both helped each other I believe things happen for a reason and my this just confirms that belief in me even more.Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Laurie: I am so glad I helped you take that needed step. I, too, felt a little relieved after my first visit. Our counselor more or less said the same... Take time for me. Here's hoping we all take time now and are able to move on. Liz counseling for me/Liz Well I went to a counseler on Thursday for myself.
