So I have bought myself a one terabyte hard drive. It's so niiiiice. With it I decided to buy Windows Vista to see what it was like. I put in my new hard drive, and put in the CD. It started to install and then it got stuck. So I tried again, same problem. For what ever reason it decided it didn't want to install vista on my new, unused clean hard drive. So I did some research to find out what the hell was going on. After about 30 minutes of research I discovered that I had to disconnect my second used hard drive so it would install. It was very annoying. However everything is working, all is installed and I even have my msn and yim working, although they didn't manage to work on the first night.
My psychotherapy appointment got postponed until next Tuesday. This has been both a blessing and a curse. But I will start at the beginning and explain it all.
On Saturday my friend V and I went out for birthday drinks and I had a few to drink. Now when I've been drinking I start talking, and I get very depressive which is why I don't drink all that often. We ended up back at mine as we normally do and carried on drinking. She knew about my appointment as asked me how I felt, I tried to put her off the topic, since it was her birthday and we should talk about good things. However, she insisted on the topic so I told her that I was scared stiff about it all. Then we talked about other things bothering me including my hated for H and how much I want to kill her, and the fact that I still blame myself 100% for the incident last summer. I cried and got upset and she was there to comfort me. I was shocked at the stuff I was saying about H. I honestly thought I was beginning to get over this stuff. Cor was I ever wrong. I had been lying to myself and denying how I was feeling. On the Sunday I spent the day in bed, not because I was hung over but because I was so depressed and upset and just felt really shite that I just didn't bother getting out of bed because I didn't want to. I did send an email to M and L to ask for help but also to let them know about how I felt about H and that could affect our working relationship.
Monday came, the day before my appointment and I was not ready to go, I didn't want to go. I felt that it was all wrong and that this wasn't right for me. I felt that I had made the wrong choice and I no longer wanted the appointment. I asked God for help and had a fretful night sleep. The next day I received a phone call saying my appointment was postponed because my therapist couldn't get in... what ever that means. I felt that God was telling me that this was the wrong choice for me and that by canceling the appointment he was telling me not to go.
Today I was talking to M about all this, and she said that perhaps God was just giving me a little more time because Tuesday wasn't the right time for me because of all the stuff that surfaced on Saturday night and I still need to get my head around it. She does have a point. The appointment was only postponed, it's not like they permenatly canceled on me. And I do need time to digest what I brought up on Saturday. However, it means I have another week of fretting to go.
If it gets postponed again I think I'll just give up on it and have a re-think. The Lord answers your prayers, you just need to be specific and you need to understand what it is that he's offering you.
I think this time out has been an opportunity to let things settle down a
bit. Even if a lot of steam flowed out the other day, I think your new
appointment will be a good chance to see everything in perspective, and get
a clear picture of the better channels for cathartic purposes in the near
future.
I think that frustration always plays a part in every person's
life; but to make it helpful you have to convert it to experience, seeing
which of your actions didn't get the desired effect, then trying new
actions in some new way again if needed until you get what you want.
Anything that happened in the past is only useful to build a better
strategy today. The right place for all past things is behind us -- that's
where we should leave the past. It's disposable.
As for the present, congrats about your seven + things :)
