And today I cut him loose.
Covid is surging here, and the office they work out of is quite small and compact. Usually 5 or 6 other people in there at the same time as me, with 3 therapists. And knowing what I know about my specific therapist’s irresponsibility outside of the office (and a general sense that he’s not particularly invested in his patient’s treatment), it was sayonara. None of it felt worth the risk to my health, nor did it feel worth any more of my money doing stuff I could just be doing on my own at home. $70-$100/week is a serious financial burden especially now that I live alone again (and I know that’s absolutely child’s play compared to the medical costs of many people).

I actually would’ve been interested in transferring to one of the two other therapists, who seemed much more engaged in their patient’s recovery and far more knowledgeable, but it would have been a bit of an awkward transition…like “Sorry bud, you seem to not give a shit and I don’t trust you, I’m shifting to your coworker”. But, again - small, cramped office in a pandemic? No thanks, I’ll wait.

So forward I go, and maybe find a new place once this virus shit settles down a bit.

Thanks :). Yeah it’s pretty crazy. There are so many rumors going around, it’s actually kind of bugging me. I can’t stop thinking about that night now, I keep replaying what I remember and it’s just eating at me. I really hope it isn’t a murder case but it is sounding like it is, and from two ppl I’ve known my whole life and still hung out with even a few times after all this happened. Idk why it’s bringing me down and has me filled with anxiety but it does.

Often anxiety is found in the unknown. I totally feel for you and hope you get some form of closure soon.

Was it difficult to move to Japan? I got a teaching visa fairly easily, and getting a spouse and then permanent residence (pr) was actually cheaper and easier than for example the UK or US. With pr I can live here with almost no restrictions, but I can’t vote (can’t vote in UK either because I’ve been out of the country for 15 years) and covid-19 has certainly highlighted some discrepancies (natives can come and go, but if I leave I might not be let back in).

That therapist sounds highly unprofessional. Good choice let him go.

So I already did a check in today but wanted to share that I have known that I needed to start working out again and eating right again because I felt that was the reason I’ve been feeling off but I’ve been unmotivated. It’s funny how God and the universe works because my relationship started to get weird again and I decided I needed to not let it consume me like it used to and go to the gym and take care of myself. There’s the motivation I’ve been lacking lol. I told God thank you for the weirdness and I appreciate the help (even though it’s a little disappointing) and am heading to the gym. I’m just going to let this run it’s course. Love you guys hope your day is going good!
