Couch 46: How's tricks?

W is scared of snakes too.. The yard is a jungle .. I need to weed eat, but my neighbors ate talking outback and im being nosy! SD , was she grasping for straws?

Sounds like Flannery OConnor. Also sounds like my mother!

Also, Stopdog - who IS your role model on how to do therapy? And now I can't think of his name! But george w's vp? Have you explored WHY you are so adversarial with her? Or does it go back to the one incident? After all this time, I would start to look for what it symbolizes. But as you say, that would be my therapy, not yours.

I can't wait until it is grass mowing season here.. We had flurries this morning!! Although, tomorrow is supposed to be close to 70!!

I spent two hours in urgent care.. Rapid strep came back postive. Decided while I was waiting for my rx I was going to do grocery shopping. Now, I am home laying in bed. H is going to take the kids to MIL's house so I can get some rest while he works on his car. I am sooooo sick of sickness already!!

Strep throat, right? Haven't had it in years, but it is one of the most miserable illnesses. Get rest. Take your meds. Hope you feel better in a few days.

Yard is done , destroyed 2 fire ant mounds and trimmed the bushes!

I gotta do my taxes. Ya think it's last minute enough??!

Today I woke with a sore throat that brings tears to my eyes when I swallow, but no symptoms of a cold. Isn't that weird?

I hope your throat gets better

TRIGGER



Thats my first symptom of strep. Either your under too much stress, or somebody sneezed by you, or you flushed an open toilet, or my mother would ask you, "you went out to eat, didn't you? You went to a restaurant! Admit it! You did! I know you did!"

Yes, she said sheepishly, I did go out to eat on Friday. I've never had strep. If it weren't for my throat, I'd be feeling fine. If it dries out in the slightest, I'm convinced someone snuck into my house and boobytrapped my throat with razorblades.

I'll see how I am tomorrow and then maybe go to doctor or clinic. Thanks for the well-wishes!

Strep is unpleasant. I used to get it 5-6 times a year as a kid. Now it is only a couple of times a year. I hope all of you who are sick start feeling better.

I do not know why the one therapist, the one I cannot seem to quit for good, and I are adversarial. I do not have an adversarial situation with the second one. I think it is because the first reacts and the second one will sidestep so there is nothing for me to push back against. The first is more impatient and the second can wait. The first wants (and often does) to tell me her opinion and the second does not. The first makes fun of me/mocks me/tries to be funny and the second does not. The first one does not listen or take me seriously and the second one does. The first one is the one I called when I got in an accident recently and the second one is not. The first did not call me back and the second one would have. The first one criticizes me for not trusting her enough or being vulnerable enough to her and the second does not.

i never knew what fire ants were untill the first time i went to florida as a kid .i was standing on an ant hill at my grandfarthers farm .before they started biting and i noticed it i was covered with hundreds of them. i never screamed so bad in my life .wvwryone was freaking because there were so many . finely the mother put me in a tub full of water to get them off me . OUCH i had hundreds of bites all over my body.

strep is so painfull if you can go to docs go as soon as you can,it wont get better without antibiotics and if let go can cause all kinds of damage. it isn't something to mess with and easy to fix. hope you feel better

Dude I am sorry Strep sucks....

SD I am still baffeled why you continue to see her then..whats the draw? Is she cute?

Granite Fire ants suck! We get 10 mounds at any given time.... I like to set them on fire...

What is the draw indeed. I ask myself that every week. But she is the one I want to tell when I get hurt. I even want to tell her when something goes well, I just don't because of how disastrous it is for me when I do.

Not in the least as far as I am concerned. ack. I would not go to one I thought was cute. I have enough trouble dealing with those people without adding that into the mix.

I think we should concentrate on that, does she remind you of your mother?

What a weird day! I stayed up too late last night...was feeling low then I started reverting to past bad behavor... didn't get to bed till 3:30am... I woke up at 8:30, saw my family off to sunday school and then went to shower to go to church. I started thinking about my sister wanting us to talk about the past... I laid on the bed trying to remember our house "walk through it in my mind"... I feel asleep it was probably 9:30am and I didn't wake up until 3:30pm... but feel so exhausted. I had lots of dreams but now I don't remember any of them...just they made no "sense" but weren't particularly scary... So now its 3:45pm I've got nothing done today and I'm exhausted like its 10pm.

Maybe a shower will wake me up.

sometimes you just need that day of nothingness.... relax sleep if you want

I would not say particularly so. Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

Do you just have the urge to have her see it your way? I think that she is the part of your mom you need acceptance from and you will not change her mind nor will she yours, you must learn to agree to disagree. T two is the one I think you find nuturing.

Lola- you seeing T this week while you are home??

Yes SD junior , I have emailed him asking to be on his cancellation list

Yes. A story about someone who will push everyone's buttons until she's confronted with consequences directly. Makes me hink of your T and how she'll agree to something but just go right back to what she was doing before. Seemingly needs to have a gun to her head every single session to stay on track.

hahahaha!! SD jr..

Good, I am glad

I don't think this is it. It does not ring true inside when I think about it. Actually it is the first who seems to try to be nurturing. She just fails at it and even if she could do it well, which she does not, I don't want nurturing from a therapist.
