The news about the bombings in Madrid is awful. I e-mailed my Spanish cousin in Brazil this morning, but it was undeliverable. We've got family in Madrid and Vigo. I hope everyone is alright.
Last night I freaked out about a lot of things that don't seem so important now. My dad was pissed off at me for making an appointment to see my therapist in Atlanta. As soon as I'm out of crisis, which I've been for quite a while now, he doesn't support my efforts to stay healthy. I think that must happen to a lot of people. Many people don't see the benefits of therapy, in spite of the recommendations of medical professionals. It's sad that getting help for mental health issues is difficult for so many people. My finances are terrible, so I was on the phone with my mom for about an hour trying to figure out how to improve my situation.
The advantage of having a good cry last night is that I feel much better this morning. I'm not depressed, I just had to get it all out. I'm all caught up on my school reading. I got 8 hours of sleep. In less than 24 hours, I'll be at home, on the couch, covered in dog hair, rubbing Sherlock's belly while he bellows at me. Life is good, for now.

Mmmmmm..rubbing bellies is the best medicine for when you want to cry. And yes, therapists can help in times when we are not in crisis. They help to not get to the point of crisis.
