Hi everyone, I saw my doctor today. We had a good talk. He always helps me so much----but unfortunately he does not do the therapy end of things. He says he only does meds. I point out to him all the time how much he helps and what good advice he gives me. Oh well, anyway, I had been talking to him about my therapist (Bruce) and how I didn't feel we were doing anything. So I brought it up again today and he said he usually prefers the continuity , but he thought I had a valid point. So he set me up an appointment with a therpaist who is in his office group. I am going to keep my appointment with Bruce next week and explain why I am leaving. I could not get in with the new therapist for a month----but I see my doctor in another 3 weeks----so it all works out.
Also----a big part of my problem has been the negativity of our principal. My husband and I decided the other day that I just wouldn't sign my contract next month and I would just give private lessons and sub. BUT! There is an opening in a Catholic school 20 minutes from my house ( I drive an hour now) and I have an interview next week. They need vocal and instumental----but the man I spoke to said the band program is very new and that I would probably be able to stay ahead of the kids. Maybe I could just make them all learn flute and piccolo! Anyway-----it may not even happen----but even being depressed and suicidal---I am a very good teacher! (modest too!)
Sorry I went on so long, Debbie

I think it is wonderful that you are making what might be really good changes for you.
Debbie...I am so thrilled to that you are getting a new therapist! And I am thrilled that you have this interview. You HAVE to keep me posted, okay??
Now I am not gonna be able to sleep!

((((((Debbie))))))), that is such exciting news!!!
I'm nervous about seeing my therpaist next week since I'll have to tell him I'm leaving. I really do like him----I just dont' feel like paying someone to sit and just talk to. I have lots of friends who I do that with for free! :)
