You're right. Arguments are much more satisfying in person. Is it a serious argument? Are you ok?

Dinah,
You are so sweet to me. No, it is not serious. I am ok. I think there is some transference I am sending his way. Since I don't feel free to get angry at anyone else, he is getting it!
Anyway, I will be fine. I hate trying to get well. It sucks.

Chuckle. I do that with my therapist too.
I was once talking to him about my therapy experience as a teen. I told him I didn't get anything accomplished because I was so angry at having to go to a therapist and my parents not understanding. My therapist says that that *was* something. That having someone to displace some of my anger at my parents on helped me live with them better.

Miller, you have an on line therapist? Does that work for you? (not at the moment I guess.) I could use a good therapist; right now I just see my med doc (tomorrow as a matter of fact, so we can sit around discussing meds that aren't available that won't work). I was wondering how you were doing. I think I read a post that you've gone through a pretty harrowing time recently. You're just moving right along-- I'm inspired by your being here.

As a matter of fact, I have lost the arguement. However, the good news is that I have been reassured (and feel comforted by) that he will see me through all of this. So, for once in my life, my anger had a positive result.
Yes, Kara this has been a huge blessing for me. His practice is not an online practice but somehow he was able to see my frustration at the psychologist I was seeing at the time. I have made HUGE strides towards self honesty. I am hoping it will lead to stronger self esteem, less anger, and prevent me from continuing to hurt myself. (I had a couple of serious suicide attempts since December.)
At this point, I am a true believer in "whatever works". My on-line shrink has reminded me of the Faith in God I used to have, the person I want to be, and has made me face the fact that I wasn't born evil.
Good luck in your search. Keep an open mind and look at all the possibilities.
Dinah, I hope you are able to take a nap. Can't you stop working for a few hours?
