I fell asleep sitting straight up on the couch! Going to bed now. Thanks to all my couch friends who provided love and support on what was a very hard day for me. If anyone ever needs anything, just let me know! I plan to "pay it forward" tomorrow so I can give the group home staff a reprieve if needed. I may not work directly with them much anymore, but I love those clients. That will never ever change!!

Okay, one more thing, then I'm going to sleep (don't worry y'all, I'll be able to go back to sleep tonight, unlike last night...I'm not anxious). I'm disappointed that T didn't email me back last night about my client. I know it's okay to feel that way. I also emailed her about setting up the second appointments for the next few weeks like she asked me to do.
Then I realized I can compare that situation to my situation with my own client. I knew I would be no good for her today because I was so tired. So I kept her in my mind, heart, and prayers as I went to my HOA meeting tonight. I will go see her later today and help with her if they need me to. It will be within a 12 or so hour parameter unless she's in a medical crisis, in which case I'm willing to do today, but I can't do but so much on Friday because we have dinner reservations that I want to keep. My T has the same right to choose to wait to respond to me because she has a life of her own. I'm sure she read it and is praying; however, she has the right to her personal life just as I. She'll respond when she has a chance. I respect that no matter how I feel. That is good boundaries!! I've actually learned something in all this therapy! I've learned to respect others' (like T's) and create my own (I am willing to drop everything today for my client, but not yesterday and not tomorrow). It's my choice and my right.  Progress!!! Real progress!!

Pretty good T session this morning for me. Sometimes it feels as if he really gets me, which is kind of scary. I mean, he says things I've been thinking and asks me if that's it, such as "you trust me but maybe not all the way". And I managed to tell him that I was disappointed in him last week, and we had a good discussion about that, and nothing exploded.
I'm worrying I'll screw this up. But I try not to think about that too much cos it's not a constructive line of thinking. |

Chopin - what you wrote is so nice.
Apt - I'm glad that you had a good session. You will not screw it up. Morning to Healed, RR, and everyone else. I need to force myself to get ready for work. Surprisingly I was able to sleep last night, but I woke up and am still feeling a lot of anger, or angst, or whatever this is. Hopefully the smile I will have to plaster on my face will help it subside. |

Oh yes, T q of the week! T has short, curly, greying hair, and he cut it very short a few weeks ago. It's grown out a little now; I prefer it when it's a tad longer but there's no denying it looks quite tidy like this.

Morning couch friends:
Breakfast is another smoothie: tofu, banana, strawberries, flax seed, OJ and yogurt. Time to go put my lunch together: salad with tomatoes, olives, beans, and other assorted veggies. Tonight I think I will make turkey noodle soup. Have a good day everyone. Busy day at work for me.

I also forgot about t question of the week: brown, shoulder length, with some nondescript styling that kind of curls under. It fits her personality.

morning everyone. Feeling pretty crappy. My ears are ringing loudly. I wonder where that weird symptom falls in? I have a bunch of people coming over on Saturday, and I really need to clean. But I am not sure that's going to happen. All I want to do is go back to bed. I think I may have finally hit the "pain threshold" everyone talks about. I have that "ef it I'll just sleep" attitude, where I usually have the "push thru it" attitude.
Big appointment tomorrow. Answers will be nice. yuck...this is a horrid post. Lets see... flip it around: Eat a tomato. You get Vitamins A, C, K, folate and potassium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, magnesium, phosphorus and copper, all of which are necessary for good health. But they have fiber as well, and are low cholesterol, fat, sugar, and calories. Plus 2 gm of fiber and water to fill you up. Don't slather them with dressing though. Pick a bright red one, add a little s & P, and maybe some fresh basil, and chow down the goodness. (oh yea, carotene in them too. Protect your skin and make it beautiful!)

Wiki I am thinking about you. Please let us know how the appt goes. You have a lot on your plate. I would cancel the gathering on Saturday. Chopin. Hugs. And what you wrote is a lot of progress. Yay! Sconnie, your meals sound healthy. I think we can use you as a back up nutritionist when Wiki is unavailable. Hello Everyone else. Work at 11 till not sure. So I'll see you all tonight. |

My Ts hair is about shoulder length or a little longer, and wavy. It's medium brown, I think. I don't want to think about her because I just start crying.

ok...a bit about cheese. It has protein, calcium, A, and B12. It also is loaded with sodium, fat, cholesterol and calories. Use at your own risk.

Morning fellow couchers! I've been so busy this week. It's just flying by in a huge blur. My brain is not awake enough to give one-by-one wishes like I want to do so instead I'll just say I'm sending out good thoughts to all of you and hope everyone has a positive day!
Off to work with me..........

Wiki - I hope you are feeling better soon. I have half a huge tomato on my salad
Jersey - I have no where near the nutritional knowledge of Wiki but i am flattered to be thought of as a back-up. I think there are a few others on the couch with lots of good eating tips too. I just like eating good foods and decided that can be part of my depression treatment. T and I discussed this at length last session and she even gave me a recipe for crunchy chickpeas! Posting my meals here helps enforce the good eating. But my tidbit for the day out of my personal eating experiment: I've started to incoporate more protien and my sugar cravings have decreased immensely
