Time management
As it turned out, I was the only one who showed up at group this morning. Made me a little anxious. I was sort of disappointed because I really did have things to talk about this week that I'm having major problems with. Thankfully though, the therapist that runs group sat and talked with me a while anyway, even though there wasn't technically a "group". Well, unless you count all the inside people who were sitting there listening to her along with me :-P
I talked to her about the problems I'm having managing time and especially ending therapy sessions on time, which has been an endless source of frustration for both me and my therapist. I have absolutely no sense of time, and it makes things so complicated. I can't tell how long 10 minutes is when she gives me a "we have about 10 minutes left" warning. I can't tell how long an hour is, how long a session is supposed to last. I can't seem to "feel" what time is supposed to be like. Between a short attention span and dissociating all the time, I've completely lost my sense of time, if I ever had it to begin with.
I'll write more about those ideas tomorrow, but I think I've got some good things to try . Hopefully it will help things go better for me.
