Welcome to Couch 27

Tape worm?

I think I'm just going to love management.

Before I left the group home and was offered dinner, the older African-American lady on 2nd shift said to me, "You've gained weight since the last time I saw you." I said, "Yes, I have." "You look like you've got a bun in the oven." "Thanks, I can assure you I do not."

People. Meh.

...I always hesitate to go to the ER....It's difficult dealing with sounds and lights with the incredible nausea and excruciating pain....and then knowing how much money it will cost me...and having to get my daughter to my moms...and knowing that she'd be so scared.....pushing myself to go is a struggle. I always figure that I just need to wait it out and it will eventually go away....

I took the muscle relaxer...and am now going to get another ice pack and try to chillax.

What is wrong with people? That. Was. Not. Nice.

Chopin - Reminds of many deaf people I know. They just say what they're thinking or feeling without taking into consideration how others will receive it. So uncomfortable at times.

my arms itch my hives itch and i want these fing things out of my arm

I really need to talk to my t about these feelings of desperation around the holidays. I feel so inadequate, and such a sense of despair about how little progress I have made in the last year. I know that sounds very drama queenish, and I am not certain I could actually say it out loud to anyone, but it really feels like despair. Probably why I am sleeping so poorly.

Anyone watch Dexter last night? I was blown away.

hmmmm.... I doubt that one. More like the emotional eating issues that t and I have been discussing have kicked into high gear. Now...what else can I go eat....hmmmm..... I am thinking strawberry jam right out of the jar.

i did i wan't to see him get arrested next week.

One more episode. The next season is the last one. I think he goes down and Deb goes with him...but...that scenario seems to obvious. Maybe the blond gets out of jail then kills him. The suspense is killing me.

I can't believe LaGuerta did that! My friend and I were debating about if he's really going to be arrested. How will he get out of it this time? can't wait til next week

you said it out loud here MKAC and i dont think you are a drama queen at all i hope you can open up about this to T . these things are ok to talk about

I can't believe shes so onto him..it just seems too simple...to obvious...

I know, that's why I keep wondering if what we saw previewed for next week is some sort of red herring and there will be some amazing twist.

there has to be

hey guys....wow, couch crash. Farting rainbows everywhere.

Granite...it's hard with these images in your head. It helps to get them out, but on your terms. I wish that you could talk to your t. Or make a story book about you, or a scrapbook or something. Don't itch your arms. They'll be out soon enough.

MUE...I hope it gets better. Pain is awful, and ER's are a horrid place when you are in pain.

MKAC...not a drama queen. Not even a little. The holidays are so hard for so many of us.

Trdle...yea, it's kind of important. Maybe a friend can go with you? It isn't as bad as it sounds if you have a good doc. Ask for a referral from female friends. I told mine that I had an abuse history...she is very careful with me.

Chopin...some people are just idiots.

OMG...I haven't seen Dexter yet, no showtime here. So MUM'S the word until I watch it. Or put big trigger warnings...lol....

Okay, so I decided to handle all my stress like I normally do (other than numbing); with a drastic change.

I'm currently sitting in a tub of purplish water waiting for the semi-permanent black hair dye to set in. 8 more minutes!

And I'm dyeing my hair, not my skin. It washes off pretty easily!

hi couch peeps

Chopin.... going black?

Once you go black you never go back.

(someone had to say it)
((may as well be me because I can blame it on the heavy pain meds))
(((no disrespect to any race, creed, gender, orientation or diagnosis)))

Chopin, there is no such thing as a semi-permanent black hair dye. That stuff does NOT wash out.

I think the holidays hold their own special kind of torture for everyone. A throwback from a sh-itty upbringing, the gift that keeps on giving. Don't be hard on yourself, this isn't a race... Sometimes I feel like every visit is something earth shattering , then bam....25 appointments of nothing important. i feel your pain. You are a wonderful person, a great wife and mother and a special daughter in law, not to mention one hell of a cyber buddy. We are here for you , if you ever need anything.

sorry wiki mums the word
