Welcome to the couch! People of PC Psychotherapy

Sconnie...yes..cocktail hour. What is your taste?

Right now I have a glass of New Glarus Raspberry Tart - it's a Wisconsin thing. But otherwise I'm a Jack and Coke girl or a good beer.

So the 3 shots of malibu are fueling my self destructiveness which is fueling my desire to email T, instead of having that calming effect. I honestly just want to stop feeling.

Am on the bus to work. Last night I was out with a bunch of colleagues and had too much to drink and I don't know how much of a fool I made of myself. :-/

There's probably an abbreviations explanation thread somewhere but I'll ask this in here: I've been struggling to make heads and/or tails of a couple of the abbreviations people use in their posts. I think I've got them right, but wanted to check: FOO = Family of Origin? And r/s = relationship?
Rgds, Apt

PS. Nobody at work has looked at me with a Knowing Smile or anything like that, so I think I'm still safe.

I think you are right on both ... and that's great with work and no comments

Won't be having much Couch time today. Work 8-5. Maybe I'll be able to come have a sit down when the children go to sleep-if they go to sleep.

No "knowing smiles" is a good thing!

Up early. House already starting to get warm. Hope H and his friend can get it fixed (by the time I get home from work). Only a 4 hour day today...get paid for 8. This is a time I love being salaried!

I love your signature..."Three things to think about"

On my way to work. It's sunny out and being Friday I can't help but feel better.

morning all. no work for me today just another day of sitting on the couch.my T has decided we need to start working on this fact that i have completely isolated myself from people and the working world.
i am feeling off today and i don't know why.i had strange dreams.not really bad but strange .i was a kid living with the mother and had all these issues.i wouldn't talk or come out of my room or anything i wouldn't interact with anyone but my T and she was there she was working with the mother trying to help her understand me and how she was creating me and how to help.i would quietly sneak up to her and give her a hug and run back to my room .it wasn't a bad dream it made me feel good in the dream to have T there kind of relieved.but i woke up feeling all the bad feelings i was dealing with in the dream. haven't gone away yet.
all this about alcohol here.i have to share my favorite drink but no making it until after noon.i buy mango-peach orange juice and add mango rum ,mango vodka and Peachtree.put it in a blender with ice to make an awesome smoothie

put a little vanilla protein powder in it and you are good to go! granite's power smoothies lol. man all that spinach last night I feel like popeye today I am not hungry.

I had weird dreams too. back in my old bedroom. the dresser with the mirror was moved to a different wall, but I kept looking for my reflection where it used to be. then all of a sudden I noticed it, and finally got a look at myself. I looked different.

there you go CHOPIN you and i can just add the vi-shape mix and we are good to go for breakfast lol.

i didnt want to wake up because in the dream someone was helping me i felt safe and close then i wake up and am left with all the horribleness i felt in the dream with out the help and safe feelings

the night before I dreamt my belly was getting smaller and smaller till it was finally just a little handful, and it was like, what I was DOING in my life had RESULTS - I didn't want to wake up from that feeling either.

i swear sometimes mornings are the hardest time for me.but as my head clears and stomach settles it is pear tea today with puffedwheat cerialwith 1 strawberry and some blueberries in it. i cant believe this is the 4th day of my heathy eating plan and i am still sticking to it.I WANT PIZZA lol

Way to go Granite! I fell off the healthy wagon yesterday, and now pizza is seeming like a good idea even though I know I won't feel good about it later on.

I'll submit a new recipe to my supplier...Orange Mango Vodka Rum Vi-shake! Sounds like a winner to me!

I am NOT morning people. I'm so glad my new position doesn't really require me to be in at a certain time. I've gotten where I float in between 11-12. Went in early today so I can put in my four hours and go home. Then again, if we have no AC by that time, I might just stay put!

I had pizza for breakfast and I'm drinking a Mountain Dew Voltage now.

And I'm the one having chest pains?! Do we have those paddles in the couch room? I just got 4!!!! voicemails from my aunt's number. The RSVP for her grandson's bridal shower (at my mother's condo) is due tomorrow. I haven't worked in almost ten years. The boy is a freakin banker. What do they need from me? I tell them yes I'm fine when they call, but the kid's parents visited me when I first moved me, and they saw what a wreck I was. Why can't they leave me alone? I don't ask them for anything. I am not going to make their pictures any prettier by showing up. I called T, he can see me this afternoon. My whole chest feels awful, like i'm wearing a bra or something. oh no, anything but that these words don't even describe why I don't want to go, why i'm having a panic attack. it's not logical, it's hate, it's fear, it's totally something else. where's lola when I need some mouth-to-mouth?! I will be joking on my deathbed.
ETA: Fixated just did some long-distance healing, feeling better now, the elephant is off the chest. Soafb!

Hankster - glad the panic is subsiding and the therapist can see you this afternoon.

Me too Hank...I hate panic attacks.

oh hankster i so get this.any way you don't have to go to the stupid shower .maybe have a stomach flu or something.if not i will be thinking about you there thinking evil things of all of them with a beautiful smile on your face for all of them to see.GRRRRR

Thanks!!! feeling like this just from getting voicemails (not even listening to them!) tells me that going to the actual functions is not gonna happen. unless it's by ambulance! or ya know, out here, old EMT trucks are converted into ice cream street vendor trucks, we'd be having dinner at granny's and my nephew would notice cos they would always stop in fRont of our house, he'd say, oh look, it's the Emergency Ice Cream Truck! and we would always laugh at what a good idea that was.

i think i have lost it i just went to TEAVANA and bought 60.00 worth of tea.but OMG so good.new flavors are, apple lemon pomigranite,peach tranquility,blueberry bliss,strawberry lemonaide,with some jasmine dragonpearls to add to them. all very good for me.

not going is a good idea me thinks

I have found is very easy to spend a lot of money at teavana.
