WTF Tuesday
Ugh, I need a venting post.
Went to my first therapy session last night. It was good to talk some things out but she was super judgmental, which is something that I couldn't bypass. I mentioned the DILF to her and she actually said, "14 years is too big of an age difference, when you're in you're 40s he might be dead". Umm, thanks, no one said I'm marrying the guy.
Had a podiatrist appt this morning because I have an awful painful cyst on my toe from bone surgery that I need. Call to say I was running late but the receptionist told me to come anyway. Waited an hour (listening to the dr talk about everything under the sun EXCEPT feet to his patients) before asking for my copay back. Receptionist blamed me being late to which I replied, "I called to tell you I was late why didn't you tell me it would be an hour?!" She said she didn't know so I told her it wasn't my fault so don't blame me (jerk!) and she had the guts to ask me if I wanted to reschedule--hell no!
Got an email from my salon that a new massage therapist was starting this week and offered a 30% discount. Called right away, of couse they're offering a discount on the day when the dude is working only half days--WTF?! I need a massage damnit because this weekend I will be attending my first wedding since my divorce!!!
ETA: The heat in my office isn't working well and it's freaking 66 degrees at my desk!
Re: WTF Tuesday
Wow... I can't believe the therapist said that to you! My counselor may say something like "How do you feel about the age difference?" but he would never flat out say I was wrong unless the behavior was dangerous.
I hope your day gets better!
Right?! That's messed up, right?
Mint, I hope you plan on calling a different therapist. I don't know if you saw my response to your OP.
WTF company that I interviewed with a million years ago! Just fvcking call me about the job already! You said you would call either way. I am starting to feel like I am being jerked around. WTF!!
WTF to my motivation level! I am not accomplishing anything right now, either at work or at home. Being in a funk sucks!

MCC -- So much of that post sucks on so many levels. I hope your day gets better!
Dmarie -- CALL!!!!
Oh and my WTF Tuesday...
WTF State of Michigan -- why was my CS shorted by $30 this week when XH has a credit of $84 on his account?!?! I know $30 isn't much, but every little bit helps!!!
It sounds like a case of not what she said, but how she said it. I was talking to my therapist once about one of my best friends, who is married to a guy that's 15 years older than her, and she made a statement like "It's fine when she's 30 and he's 45, but they will likely start to have challenges when she's in her 40's".
Exactly. Right now I'm just happy that I have someone as kind as him to talk to. He's been through a divorce and we can talk about a lot of stuff, not just divorce, but I'm not connecting with any friends on that level right now. Of course if things progress it's something to consider but I'm not thinking about marrying him right now. I thought it was super judgmental--my mom usually is judgmental and she had nothing like that to say about DILF.
I think I'm going to find someone who has experience in divorce and drug abuse. She had no experience with drugs and I really need someone who can help me through the residual issues I have. She told me I was suffering from PTSD--umm, yeah, not so much, but thanks.
Seriously, hearing shiit like this scares me. You need to see someone for more than 1 visit before throwing diagnoses out there. Sheesh

Note to self: avoid MCC's therapist!
Sorry your day was/is so crappy, MCC...hopefully it will look up!
Ugh...it is not quite empowering if she is telling you rather have you bring it up. At the same time, she might have thought maybe you have not yet considered that topic yet and wanted you to think about it and just didn't go the right way about it?
WTF self for second guessing your relationship this weekend. The whole time starting with arriving in NY to the time I left, I was second guessing everything. It didn't help I was sleep deprived, starved and sick the whole weekend. I only had 1 time of intimacy the 2 days we were there. Also he forgot to warn me about his friends so I had A drink and THEY kept refilling to the point I couldn't have fun. I ended up with a horrible headache before even leaving the wedding.
