Have to vent and figure out how to get my head together again. It''s been a pretty rough week for me. We''ve had some changes here at work; people laid off so the admin dept. I''m in went from staff of four to two and we''ve been crazy busy.
After many phone conversations over the past couple of months, I finally had an in office appointment with the therapist I''ve needed to see last week. It went well, she gave me other ways to look at and approach the issues going on in our lives. She gave us an exercise to do to find the root cause of the communication issues and it has been emotionally draining to me. I''m also kind of annoyed that DH hasn''t really done most of this exercise yet. We have been doing a little better with talking to each other, but it''s kind of been a two step forward, one step back.
Last night, my good friend called me and told me her brother committed suicide. I was one of the first people she called since I understood a family loss. After talking to her, I spoke to her fiance for a bit and he wasn''t going to leave her side. I told him that anything I could do to let me know. Later I fell apart with all the other things going on and thinking about how badly I miss my father. I don''t know what to do to help her. I had to deal with two suicides back in high school, but they weren''t really close to me. How do I be a shoulder for her when I feel like crap in the head?
