Welcome to the Couth that Would Not Die - Episode 37: Clean up that Cool Whip!

I see it as a social group you don't have to bother to join, you just show up whenever you want. It kind of is the psychotherapy social group.

Granite I keep meaning to ask, how is your foot doing??

I tend to say some things here about therapy that I would not venture forth in my own thread for fear of unwarranted attack.

hi hank thanks for asking .my foot is way better it took about 3 days of staying off it and it felt better but i am convinced it was exactally what you said and am glad it lasted only a few days

Yes. THIS. I generally feel that I get more support here and people who listen with less judgment than I tend to get if I start a thread of my own.

I realize this group IS social, but it's also very much about our therapy experiences and our feelings and confusion about the process. It's just that there's no one busting on us for taking off on tangents.

I think of this thread as being very like a conversation with a friend who has ADD. We'll be talking about her mother in law being ill, and suddenly, she'll be like, "SQUIRREL! oh, and then my mother in law started to . . ." We talk about therapy and encourage each other TO GO TO THERAPY AND NOT SKIP [Lola] and then get off on talking about food, and Wiki points and then back to telling someone to GO TO THERAPY AND NOT SKIP.

Here, for all the meat eaters and bacon lovers:

LOLA ummm lola

My T was moved from 2 to 12... yeah, i may take the rest of the day off.

IM GOING ALREADY

and the baby pig was a low low blow.

that is just so wrong LOL but so so cute thank god i eat turkey bacon no wilbur for me at all

sounds like a plan lola

for me i am heading in the shower now and getting out for a long drive with blaring music . distraction at its best

I had that little guy for Lunch yesterday!

MKAC, well said about the couch.....altho I gotta admit, it's the mix of people here that draws me to feel comfortable on the couch. I hate to admit that if there was a certain mix of people that weren't a fit for me here, I wouldn't be here. But it's my truth. I am open and welcoming to others joining, I just get scared sometimes that it may turn into a place that won't be healthy for me. KWIM?

Just got back from Wegmans....picked up a bunch of healthy goodies for when my mom comes home from the hospital (today). Still not sure if her diet is supposed to be low residue or diabetic - but I picked up stuff that is healthy either way.

Wiki would be proud....I picked up flax seed for the very first time. I put it on my salads each day when I was at the hospital and figured it's gotta be healthy, right? Although I have no idea what's healthy about it ((( cringing in shame ))).

Heading out in a few to bring the groceries to my mom's house and then pick her up from the hospital. YIPPEE!!

Glad you're taking a shower, granite....You don't wanna get yelled at for having raunchy stank fee and swamp azz....LOL

You smell much better today MUE!

Aww, thanks Lola.....and to think, I haven't even showered yet.....PSYCH! Bahahaha....

FYI.... I washed my feet and need to throw the shoes out I wore yesterday, they are nasty smelling! SD did you get that?

I find myself getting even more irritated at the idea of having this new teeny bopper non-therapist co-facilitating our group T....she is big into the GMO issue that my T is so passionate about. Not sure why that irks me so much. It just does.

I am so irritated by it all, I could spew fire right now....ACK.

AND the blog notes haven't been posted yet....not surprising....and the placeholder that I used to repeatedly ask T and the old co-facilitator is not up. Not surprised again. Irritated. But not surprised.

The healthy thing to do is ask for the placeholder to be posted...and to express all of this to my T....but I am just going to bxxxh about it here instead.

Whats a GMO issue?

Genetically Modified Organisms.....about the dangers of GMO seeds being used in the farming industry for food in the US and how it has the potential to affect our health.

I get that the idea of wholeness includes physical and emotional health, but I don't like the idea of my therapy turning into a crusade to fight the GMO companies.

Gotta run, folks! Will try to catch up once I get back from taking my mom home from the hospital......Wish us luck!

Hi to all (Hankster, MKAC, Critter, Granite, Stopdog, CE, Apt, Lola, Ike, Chopin, Wiki, Healed, MUE, and anyone else who happens to be around today.)

MUE - I'm glad that your Mom is finally coming home, and I hope that it eases some of your stress.

Wiki - I hope that the trial works out for you.

Lola & Granite - Good luck at T today.

I am very much freaking out right now. I don't know what I was thinking, but last week I told my T that I would meet with someone about joining a group he thought might be good for me. The meeting with the facilitator is this afternoon and then I immediately meet with my T. Ugh - so much of this is making me anxious. The two things that are getting to me the most is that the T leading the group is a women, and that because the kind of group it is there will be some questions that I don't know if I can just answer. They are things that I have only mentioned to my T before. How am I going to just talk about it to someone that I don't know at all?

Good Luck Trdle, it will work its self out. Everyone in the group will be there for support so that may make it easier.

I have T in 35 minutes and nothing to talk about.... nothing
