I have an appt with my IC on Wednesday and i'll discuss this with him at that time, but im wondering if anyone here has any advice. And honestly im not trying to be a smart aleck, but I dont need GAL, detach etc. I know those things and im working very hard at those things, but im talking more about concrete things that can be done about obsessing about this situation.
It has become a real problem for me as of late and I dont really know how to attack it. And mostly its a problem for me during the day when im at my office and actually have work to be doing I find myself on here, or any number of other sites just reading articles, messsage board posts, really anything written about relationships and saving them I guess. I've probably read more about relationships in the last 10 weeks than most therapists have. And im not saying that in a bragging way, I know its a problem and know that my obsession with this can't continue so im wondering if anyone has any concrete solutions or actions that may help. I do know that im going to call my Dr tomorrow for a different AD, he gave me one last week but its a pretty low dose and he told me if I didnt feel better in a week to let him know and we would try something different and its been a week as of tomorrow and I certainly don't feel any better as far as that goes.
But mostly I just want to quit obsessing about this entire ordeal, and I know that if I dont then i'll either do something stupid that will certainly seal the fate of my M or i'll end up losing my job b/c I can't seem to get any work done. It doesn't help at all that i've kind of made it to a point in my career where I no longer share an office with anyone, and no one really follows up on what im doing as long as the work gets done, and i've managed to keep getting the work done so far by coming in on nights and weekends, just about anytime im not with S11 and don't have plans I end up coming in here knowing that I have to catch up, but I also know if I keep that up then sooner or later im going to miss a deadline and its not going to be good for me at all.
