OT: More Whining and Complaining
Rainy days and Mondays suck big time and today was no exception. I got a letter from my principal about disciplinary action because of my absences. I was expecting it, but he was a little early in the one he sent me, and has to reissue the correct one. Then, I went to my new group, which sucks even more. The therapist is sweet, but the group's dynamics were enh...blah. I am used to laughter and fun, with tears mixed in. This group was a huge dud. No interaction, no therapeutic rapport, just blah. I am at a loss what to do next. I like the therapist, but have no clue if I can endure several weeks of this.
My back is killing me and I am ready to run off and join the circus to escape my life right now. I must endure till Friday. I am having a procedure for my back and the Munchkin and her brother are coming to town.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Give the group a chance.
It was monday, it was raining. People were blah all over the place. So were you. If need be, make the first step to BE the laughter in the room. Don't wait for someone else to make it happen.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Sorry to hear about the letter from your principal - hope you're mending and feeling better so you don't have to miss much, if any more time - school year will be winding down soon and then can you take the summer to really recuperate? I sure hope so.
I agree with Pam - this wet, rainy, miserable weather has us all dragging butt right now - I did not want to get out of bed this morning - I did not want to drive to work in the rain again - I just wanted to pull the covers over my head and sleep all day - and that's not like me at all.
Maybe you can lighten this new group up - change is difficult especially when its a change we didn't initiate - so give it a couple more sessions and if it really isn't in your best interest then maybe find another therapist or group? Make sure you're getting the type of support YOU need - that's the most important things.
Sending hugs and prayers your way - and keep your spirits - the kidlets will be there this weekend and I know that'll make you SMILE!!

Well Trish, I don't know if the circus is taking applications just now, so you may have to stick around .
As for the group, you used the word "endure." And sometimes that is the learning and growth - we endure through difficult cir****tances, and we grow because we have endured those times and experiences. We expand our own capacity to glean what we can in "those" moments of life, and to be enriched by what is good. I guess what I'm saying is...go to the group...get what you can...and see the glass as half full. And yes, if you can spark it up a bit - based on your experience with a group that really worked better - do it!
Look forward to the kids here for the holiday weekend!

You are right...being a Goy, I like Matzoh with butter, but I am sure that if I HAD to only eat that for the duration of Passover, I would not like it that much either.
Enjoy the time off...I must get tidying done in the next few days...the fabric fairy did not clean up my sewing projects.
Hugs,
Trish
