Couch 48 - All are Welcome - really!

((( Wiki )))

I'm sorry you endure a similar feeling when dealing with mirrors. You are not alone with the boob issue...and I also am quite overweight which makes every facet of my body unappealing...and scars on my face from when I was stitched up as a child. Most times, no one can notice the scars - but I see them quite clearly every time I look at my face.

And I always feel as though the ugliness radiates throughout me, to where it's not just physical. UGH.

I've done it all my life MUE. In high school I was always "checking" my reflection to see if my neck was showing. I have a huge neck, and it's all I can see. Now with the mastectomy/reconstruction I have another flaw to continuously "check". And, honestly, there really isn't a t that knows how to help with this stuff.

Good morning couch.
Artemis - I loved the poem!
I have t today and my notebook is ready Except what I thought I wanted to talk about today changed when I wrote in it this morning. Ummm. Oh well, T should be used to my fickle topic selection by now. And if she's not too bad. She tells me to pick the topic, so she gets the fickleness by default.

you know....I am realizing how many folks on here are involved in some sort of faith. Many attend a chuch or synagog regularly. So I just decided religion in any form makes you crazy.

Oh...and the ones not involved in religion are gay/lesbian. So it seems that makes you crazy as well.

And then there's the peeps from outside of the US. Another thing that makes you crazy.

Wow...getting this down to a science.

So wait....wiki.....I'm not a lesbian. I don't go to church. I live in the US.....Does that make me sane?

SD, have you considered telling T how you're feeling about what she said?

OH...wait....
vegetarians. They be crazy too.

I am making a list.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MADE THE LIST!!!! Whew. I knew being a vegetarian meant SOMETHING!!

I am rewriting the dsm. I think all their diagnostic labels and criteria are crap.

(I feel a Nobel prize coming on)

ah well....time to go play with the critters at the shelter.
Later peeps.

Aww, I wanna go to the shelter!!!!!!!!!!!! Take pictures!!!

Note to self: I have used up my daily allowance of exclamation points. LOL

I did. At the appointment and in short message.

I'm glad, SD....I'm sorry it's been so disappointing for you.

Yesterday was just hellish for me. Therapy in the a.m. and then trying to move offices in the afternoon. My H said he would take care of all of the office move, because we knew ahead of time that I was going to be swamped with work and a previous commitment to help a friend with a competition she was putting on. The work stuff was due dates that I could not change and the competition was planned a year ago, so it's not like I could just rearrange things on my end so I could handle the move. So, on the last possible weekend, he FINALLY started to move stuff, AND he has still not sent out ANY information to clients other than an email to SOME of them that we have moved. NO information to clients AT ALL about the move. Stressed out of my mind. OUT. OF. MY. MIND.

Since getting back in town from the competition, I helped finish up clearing out the old office, but both my little truck and my big truck are full of stuff, and my daughter's car has the paintings and plants from the office. Have to unload those sometime today, and I'm hoping my son will help. Three weeks ago, I had already written the letter to clients for my husband to send so I will send it out to everyone today. It will all get taken care of, just by ME instead of by the person who was supposed to do it a ****ing month ago while I was swamped. ah well. At least he's finally being really sweet to our daughter.

What does do or say she in response? I cannot imagine having to sit through that time after time. I had ONE time where my T just kept misunderstanding me and I ended up sobbing with rage and pain, but at least he acknowledged his mistakes and misunderstandings and asked me really nicely and sincerely to keep trying.

She does not respond unless it is to tell me she does listen to me. She never acknowledges her mistakes.

Sorry the move is so stressful.

ack! Moving sux. And H is a dimwit for not doing his share of the work.

SD: the woman is an ***. I beg your permission to kick her face in. Please?

And more for the wikidpissah dsm: short people are crazy too. (I didn't want granite to think she was sane.)

Ok...leaving for reals now.

((( MKAC )))

Wow, that sounds incredibly frustrating! (Dammit, I used another exclamation point.)

I hope you're able to express your disappointment and frustration to H in a way where he will hear you and understand.

I never use exclamation points. I cannot think of anything I believe I could say that warrants that much emotional punctuation.
There is probably something wrong with me that I can find punctuation symbols too emotional for me to even contemplate a situation where my use of them would be appropriate.
I am probably going to be added to wikid's new dsm.

Definitely needs to be added to wiki's new dsm.....That's a big one. (deliberately refrained from using an exclamation point, just for you, SD)

I was thinking, hey, maybe I'm sane after all. And then the WikiDSM added vegetarian. Sigh.

Technically, I suppose there should be Axis levels for vegetarianism. Axis I - pescatarian; Axis 2 - vegetarian; Axis 3 - vegan.

I'm Axis 2.

goober grape

Sorry I guess I got triggered. I'll go ask t.

Damn. I was also good until this one popped up.
