Welcome to the couch! Now in the 17th season!!!

food we need food

I am, and I have a good record. It's a stressful way to be, though.

Why wasn't I raised a slacker? I bet slackers don't need therapy. Or maybe they just can't be bothered to go.

Are there any slackers on this couch? I doubt it.

Every time fall rolls around I get in the mood to watch that corney movie from years ago with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. "You Got Mail". It really is so ridiculously corney and sucky but something about this time of year makes me want to put it on. lol

Hi All,
I hope all the t sessions went well today. I also hope that no one minded me bringing kittens along when I pocket rode. We found four 5 week old kittens in the loft of the barn at work! So basically we spent most of the day playing with them and then trying to bottle feed them. Eventually they had to go to the humane society, but it was fun while they were there.

So, when things get rough and I start to feel overwhelmed.. I think about leaving. I have actually thought about how I would leave my house, and get somewhere else besides my own town, state, and life. The thought is that everyone in my life is better off without me. T and I have talked about it, and agreed that the reasoning is probably isn't the healthiest thought pattern.

Is it different to just want to run away for like a weekend? To not be the person you are in your real life just for a couple of days? I just want to forget I am a Christan, married, mom of 2.. Not have to make sure I always have benadryl and epi-pen in fear that one of my kids will ingest, or get stung by something that could kill them. I want to let lose, run wild, have my own schedule.. Do whatever the heck I want. Is this unhealthy? Can I do that? I want to pleaseeeeee.

Good morning. It's dreary weather here today. Sigh.

I haven't caught up with season 17 yet, but I saw Healed's post - Healed, I think it's absolutely normal and healthy to fantasize about running away from everything for a bit. I even think it's healthy to actually run away once in a while. A break can be a great mood lifter.

Last night, I realized how difficult it is when both your best friend and you are going through a rough time. She's more vocal about it than I am (IRL, at least), so I don't think she gets how I'm doing. We're usually each other's supporter and cheerleader, but neither one of us is really able to do that for the other now. I'm faking it, but it's hard as hell.
