Welcome to the Couch! People of PC Psychotherapy (Part 2)

had a decent weekend, nothing terribly exciting, one way or the other.
finished up the personal care plan form that marriage T gave me and took it to her office this morning for her to give with her eval/letter to the mental health board. I was pleased that I was better able to fill in the thing and have reasonable answers instead of looking at it like 'what?????? what does this mean, I don't know what to say about this question' like I would have a couple years ago. ha, progress! we'll see in due time how the mental health board sees this.....

The son thing is not a big deal. It usually amuses me because of how unobservant people are. I am not flat chested. It made my mother go ballistic at me when growing up people thought I was a boy.

In a very nihilistic place right now. Sending the dogs away is not usually a good sign.

I am glad everyone survived mother's day even though I am sorry to hear it was rough sometimes.

Is it the haircut?

That's not fair, blaming you for other people's mistakes.

So I will be busy the next few days PDoc and T and couples T maybe. Apartment hunting and placing house on market getting bills spli and remrranged. And i am just so tired and over it. I texted the friend of mine who is HR and told I need to talk to her and it was ok if she was drunk...I actually preferred it. And she could contact me anytime tonight, Preferably written, unless drunk. Lol so I wait. I need to tell her what's up, she has known me 2 years, basically me and my partner of 13 years are splitting and I am losing it and need a few days off to process this. That it requires a little more effort as I am gay and not allowed to be a divorce.
Last night I stayed with a old friend of one who lives in a loft and she andi had a blast Saturday night, but Sunday night when she asked me to stay again, she freaked out on me when she awoke at 10, saying I was loud and it woke her... So I left there, she and I reconnected over AA.v
To top it off with , my xT emailed my current T wanting him to give her a release form so she could share my emails with him.WTF...it's crazy, mi vida loca.... Looking for friends and a home

I'm being kinda quiet here lately. Nothing particularly wrong; I'm coping fine, I've just been busy between H, H's work, work, family, friends, dogs, etc. I've also been having a lot of bad neck pain.

H sees T tomorrow and we had a discussion with our best friends who both said they have noticed a difference in H's personality over the past few months. I hope T can help him. He is at the stage that he doesn't think she can. But H's best friend had a talk with him tonight too because he's been in therapy for PTSD in the past. I think it helped some.

For those of you going through rough times (i.e. stopdog, Lola, TTGB, etc.), I'm praying for you. To everyone else, I hope you are doing well!

Husbands hearing is in 2 hours.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

OMG you must be going out of your mind.thinking about you and hoping

Thanks life and Granite.

Granite-what's on the menu today

TTGB - I hope it goes well!

sitting on the couch just for a moment to catch my breath before the day runs on ...... doing a 5K race Saturday, so did 3 miles today at the fastest pace I could maintain without extreme discomfort (I did feel sort of uncomfortable and a bit sick though!). I'm pleased with the progress I've made with my speed/pacing (averaged a 7:10-7:15 min/mile)..... just wish I could do better in races, but somehow running with a bunch of other people messes me up. I need to learn how to pace myself better in races, I guess.

I hope your husband gets a good outcome and you can resume therapy.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

I've had an intense work day, am back home and very tired. I bought some PG Tips (a brand of tea) and shall curl up in a corner of the couch with a mug. There's plenty more tea if anybody else wants some.

The hearing was only 20 minutes long. We have to wait again for an answer. They will probably take a week again. I'm coming close to losing it completely.

Ugh, the waiting is ridiculous. Were you able to get a feel for how it went?

i so want to eat everthing sweet and bad for me big time.i have had an egg salad sandwitch and lots of tea. i am so stressed because of T tomorrow all i want is to eat. i so need strength lol

Granite, you have been doing great work. You are so strong.

Honestly..no idea. The union rep told them he has been there for almost 10 years and there were never any issues until now. Never any errors on his paperwork. It was literally just a mistake.

The union president already told H that they will take this to Arbitration if need be. In the Arbitration a netural party hears both sides and someone from the Board of Labor. Except-there is no set time frame with an Arbitration. Could take a year.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Rather too much going on in my life!

cant whats going on

Can'tExplain, you are welcomed to vent here if you need to. We will listen...

Against my advice, W has asked the bank for a new loan on the same day our property transaction is supposed to settle. Now the bank is confused.

Couldn't she wait a single day????

And things are suddenly busy at work. However, I wrote the necessary document in three hours and it's sitting in my boss' inbox.

Now there's only the customer who wants to set up two new branches "by the end of the week".

It's lonely on the couch on weekday evenings.

Can'tExplain- that is a lot going on on. Do you think your W just got nervous and acted on impulse? It's hard to say... But it's also hard to have logical conversations in an overwhelmed state of mind-perhaps you guys can talk about it together when things settle down.
