Dinah,
Yeah, I'm sure the maternity leave separation was a good thing. Sort of a blessing in disguise, really. Because, even though it was hard, it proved to me that I CAN survive without her. Though I must admit, I don't think I would choose to at this point. But the detachment has allowed me to take a step back and reevaluate why I'm in therapy to begin with and what I hope to achieve through it.
I'm really thinking a move back to the Raleigh area would be a good thing for me...sort of a fresh start, even though I've lived here before. But the thought of leaving my therapist, even now, hurts. So, it would still be hard. And in my stronger, more optimistic moments, I know I'd be okay. But I'm not feeling all too optimistic tonight. Big surprise. I'm weaning off the Wellbutrin, so I hope I don't take a major turn for the worse. At least I can always page my pdoc. And knowing he's got an office in Chapel Hill really makes a big big huge difference in easing my anxiety about having to find a new job. But right now my stomach feels like it's been twisted in knots and my heart is pounding, for no apparent reason. I hate this feeling.
Hope to catch you in chat sometime.
Love, Penny
