New Year...New Therapist

Still waiting for David to go to the Psychiatrist and I started going to a new Psychologist.  I liked her and she was so calm and understanding so I was surprised when she said that I need to see her weekly.

She said that because there are few people that I can really talk about this problem with (only a couple friends know and NO family) she said that I need to have a safe place to talk and need more support. 

In this session I realized how angry I am with David.  His actions have affected me so much.  There is not one day that doesn't go by in which his sex addiction has not slapped me in the face. 

She also said that my not eating could be the medicine but it is probably because food is related to nourishment and self care and right now I don't feel like I deserve either. 

As mentioned before this time last year I was a 139 and now I am 114.  I am averaging about 500 calories a day.  Some days nothing.  Food looks bad and tastes bad and I am never really hungry.  I know it is just muscle that I am loosing and as soon as I feel "better" all the weight will come back. 

New years went fine.  Nothing crazy.  David's anxiety came up when I mentioned we should visit the neighbor's party.  He bargained not to go and as soon as he got there he had a good time.  He makes everything in his mind worse than it is.  He also obsessed about a gift he needed to return for about 3 days this weekend.  How he must exhaust himself.  I am starting to see how with something with porn as an escape he got so lost in it.  His OCD, anxiety and tunnel vision is made for addiction. 

Started a temp job today and it keeps my mind occupied 8 hours of the day.  Still hunting for full time but no luck yet.  Wish me luck!
