Ok, so today I had to take my ADHD son to mental health. He needed to see the doctor for his meds. Well needless to say the doc wasn't in due to snowing in or something to that effect. So we saw the psychiatric nurse and a councelor.The meeting somehow was directed at me in front of my son, who by the way had a report on the desk from his school. Where he had went to them for help because of me and my suicide attempt. It said he had been sad. Well I looked at Rick, the nurse, trying to explain the situation and he told me that I have kids who truely do need me and so on. Pretty soon I was crying, and Rita the councelor told me that it stated in the paper work (which they had both of our paper work there, it was like an intervention) that I need therapy. Well I figured that much. They put us back on with my son's councelor, for him and I'm going to mine. It's kind of crazy. There's one problem I have with the counceling, my husband! He's in every session and I feel like I can't open up in there and when I do it causes a problem on the way out. I feel jammed here. my husband doesn't like to leave me alone, this is the first time since my release from the hospital, that I've been alone. Well not completely my 4 yr old daughter is home. well I guess I needed to get that out. thanks.
Call the counselor when your husbands at work & tell them you'd like one on one discussions w/them & would like THEM to tell your husband that THEY would like to speak w/you privately, that way you wont be hurting anyones feelings or feeling like you are, which really shouldnt be an issue w/your husband as he may encourage you to do so cause he supports what your trying to accomplish for your betterment & well being.
Take care of you.
