sharing my freak out against my better judgement

OK
I'm getting irritated with my therapist 
he texted me
LAST WEEK he said 
he was 90% and 
NEXT WEEK 
FOR SURE 

YESTERDAY he said 
we are ON for
TOMORROW 

TODAY 
I texted him
are we ON for NOON 
& HE said THUMBS UP

THEN
he texted me 
OH
I FORGOT 
I have an appointment with my NEW
ENT at 11:30
can I text you LATER to reschedule 

I guess 
I FEEL like I NEED 
HELP

& I'm starting to feel like 
I'm being very patient and understanding 
BUT 

he's an unreliable narrator 

I don't really think 
he doesn't care

I think he's SO loopy on MEDS
that he can't manage his sh*t and THAT 
doesn't SEEM to be getting 
ANY better 

MAYBE 
I'm supposed to realize 
I need to find somebody else to 
therapize me
OR
MAYBE I'm supposed to realize 
I don't really NEED therapy 
ANY MORE 
BUT 
I don't FEEL 
WELL 

I FEEL like I can't QUITE 
HANDLE my SITUATION 

& EVERYTHING 
FEELS 
LIKE 
parts of me are overloaded and the part that might sort it out is shut down 
& EVERYTHING 
is TOO MUCH

and I just want her to die already
& THAT FEELS 
ICKY

REALLY 
ICKY
& there are doctor appointments
& things that are up in the air
& I can't handle it 

I can't HANDLE 
DRIVING 
or FLYING 
or scheduling
or spending money
or not living up to expectations 

& the IDEA that
I'm F*CKing
EVERYTHING UP 

& the IDEA that if I don't 
DELIVER 

& ALL THAT
MAKES ME KNOW 

that I'm TOO FREAKED out
to BE a PERSON 
EVEN if 
I could get anywhere, there is just no way to make any of this mess work for me right now

& I WANT to 
HUG you
BUT 
I'm not sure if I could get to you
that I wouldn't be 
SO SPIKY 
that THAT would be impossible 

& I FEEL intermittently CRAZY
& LIMITED resource-y

& if I whip myself up into the FRENZY
I THINK I might 
NEED to
MAKE 

I'm not sure what I even need to DO 

FAKE my own DEATH 

I'm not THINKING rationally

SO
I KNOW 
I NEED to RESOLVE 
MYSELF somehow before I can be
DOING anything ELSE 

BUT 
I FEEL like I'm HURTING 
YOU 

ALL the FEELS
are CHAOTIC and I haven't WANTED to 
TRY to EXPLAIN it 

BECAUSE it SOUNDS 
CRAZY

BUT 
I guess that is because I 
FEEL CRAZY 
AGAIN 

& I WILL get a handle on it 
BUT 

I haven't been able to 
IDENTIFY 
the thing that set me off, YET 

MAYBE 
I think I'm 
LIKE her in some way I haven't been able to 
isolate and cure
OR
MAYBE 
everything just hit from too many angles
& the shut down is too
pervasive to shift
QUICKLY 

because it WON'T STOP SCREAMING long enough to get a handle on it 

I'm not super 
FUNCTIONAL 

THAT is the best I can do 
by WAY of explaining 
WHAT is GOING ON 

I FEEL like 
it doesn't adequately represent 
the interior of my head
or the root cause 
& possibly 
it just sounds like bullsh*t

BUT 
I'm in a STEP
I NEED 
MORE TIME to
COMPLETE 

& pretending I don't 
isn't going to make good things happen 

MAN
I F*CKing WANTED therapy today 

I LOVE you VERY much sweetheart 
I hope you are having a beautiful day
