I still have 2 big gifts to get for my kids. Luckily the stores open at 7am so I can shop before work.

My wife took a Doone & Burke Purse back one year I bought her, for that very reason. I understood , but I really wanted her to have it... I never made that mistake again.

It's not anyone on the couch.
sometimes you have to let it go.. I too have seen this.

Sorry I was ever like that...even if people had pointed it out I was not ready to hear it. I had to find out for myself.

I urge caution in judging whether someone else is or is not doing therapy correctly for themselves.

Stopdog didn't mean to sound judgemental if it's my post you are talking about just trying to voice frustration.

I can not sleep ugh. I know I can take my seroquel and go to bed but I don't want to be groggy tomorrow morning. I am restless because I am over-excited and anxious about the move. Ugh. Anyone know any tricks, I've been laying in bed for 2 hours.

Annoyed that when I try to help someone it is seen as trying to incite drama. I just tend to be very blunt and not sugarcoat. Maybe they take it the wrong way. Not my problems anyway. Should just let it go but having a hard time. As for now that person is blocked.

Do you have anything relaxing you like to do that you can engulf yourself in for a bit maybe that would help

((RTS))

Yes, I would be hurt. But perhaps my wife would also be hurt that I spent so much money when there are bills to be paid.

You'll have to sort this out between yourselves, I'm afraid!

Nah everything of mine is packed. I think I'm just going to stay awake until I eventually drop off, or I could try instead of taking the 100mg of seroquel I'm suppose to at night, take my daytime 50 mg seroquel instead

Hurrah for Stopdog! What would we do without your moderation and good sense?

... or getting himself a new brain. What is WRONG with this guy?? Seriously he needs a checkup to rule out any serious medical problems. Like early onset Alzheimers. Maybe something happened when he hurt his knee. Youre blaming yourself for stuff, thinking your inadequacies are justifying his actions (story of my life!), but maybe he is off his nut. Or something.

I don't necessarily agree with him, but I can see his point of view.

"Sure we're having a bad year. But do we have to cancel Christmas? Can't I do this one nice thing for you?"

He may have trouble expressing his love in any other way. And he may be feeling humiliated by your joint financial position.

Thanks, CE. That reminds me, i need to apologize to t for saying "men are so simplistic!". I didnt even yell at him when he became defensive, thats how bad i knew i was! I was actually glad he HAD given me a simplistic answer; i had built the situation all up in my mind, as i did here. Simple can be a welcome relief.
Thanks for this!

CE, can I ask you why you have posted to several fairly old threads in the forum recently? I'm not criticising or saying that it's wrong, just curious.

Morning couch.

Did not sleep well last night. Woke up several times in pain in one of the worse locations. I hate pain in that location. I had pain there all day yesterday too, but it is worse today.

I have not been to an ob-gyn since 2008 (when I lived 90 miles away from where I do now). I could almost kick myself now for not finding one when I first moved back to my hometown. Now I am not an "established" patient anywhere, so the likelihood of me getting "squeezed" in somewhere today is probably going to be slim as there are only 7 in my area accepting new patients according to my insurace website directory.

If I do get in somewhere...then I will be anxious not knowing what to expect. I know what to expect in a "routine/yearly check-up" exam. But the fact that I am having "problems" right now scares me about what they might do to me. Or even if it is just the usual stuff, that it is going to hurt (it never has in the past for me) because I am already in pain now.

I hate this.

Warning: anything one posts on this couch can be called "judgmental". You have to be lovey dovey and accepting even when something borders on abuse.

Have a good Christmas and life y'all. Peace and love. This just is no longer a safe place for me.

I hate that this is happening and that so many feel unsafe.

I would hate to see the couch go.

Hugs to all.

Only to fall into a dream about moving in, and it being that my T tricked me back into the psych ward. -_-
