There is room for everybody on Couch 72

Thanks MKAC, I think it's natural to be closer to some people than others...just like real life. Most people know Granite and I are close. I have known her longer than anyone else on here, she is the first person who reached out to me when I started on PC. So yea, I am going to comment to her more, but that doesn't mean I dislike others, or don't care about anyone else.

Those who obviously have an issue with me should speak to me directly. It is painfully obvious that you are talking to me. I apologized for my outburst last night, but know that it is unrealistic to expect forgiveness from all. It is unnatural to expect everyone to get along; however, I am not going to cower in fear or run away as my instincts tell me to do. I know I have just as much right to be here as anyone else unless I violate a forum rule. One of the most important lessons I've learned since I left PC is that I am a person of inherent worth. Learning this has given me great confidence in myself and my abilities. I try my best to live my own values, one of those being not to harm others; however, I am a human being, same as everyone else here, and I make mistakes. Last night I made a mistake and I am truly sorry for that, but I'm not going to hide in a corner or flagellate myself because I did. I'm simply moving on and accepting the consequences of my actions.

A very heartfelt thank you to those who are supportive of me and stand by me. I've made some true friends here and for that, I am very grateful.

Psychatrist appointment went well.

We're working hard, both of us, granite.

I'm worried about tomorrow's session, though. Anybody want to sleep in my pocket?

Or Evel Knievel who, at least for awhile, held the Gunniess World Record for the most broken bones.

He uses a stunt double.

I have actually had whooping cough, so the last week has been rough. Apparently the disease has made a big resurgence because of the anti-vaccination movement. When I get my tetanus booster next, the doctor said he would give the new combo vaccination that includes pertussis.

And my comment, BTW, really wasn't directed at you. I didn't feel that your previous comments were directed at me, because I have just been largely absent from the couch. I was simply sharing how I react to those kinds of things, in general. I do not think people always act in a manner that will inspire the result they desire, or always know how others feel about certain actions, so it was more of a generalized 'heads up' and an agreement with Wikid that others do respond that way. Perhaps if people know that others draw back in response to certain behaviors, it would give them an opportunity to change those behaviors. That's all I was offering.

I agree. Some posters are "friends" and some are "family". That's just the way it is.

chopin i may be wrong but i really don't think that anyone was singling you out or your behavior .i read the things very differently . i think yes people were responding to your post but just expressing there experiences with pc also. i cant speak for there intentions as i am not them but i did read it differentially . hugs and sorry if i am overstepping my bounds here on pc once again . just don't like to see you taking on something that might not need to be but ill be back to my listing what i had for breakfast now .kay

I told my Psychiatrist that she can call my parents some time in the future to talk about my medication, and she tries calling literally right after I got home, I ended up just telling her that they were unavailable when it reality they both were (she can't wait a little while before trying to call).

So you caught whooping cough even though you were vaccinated in the past? I knew it was making a comeback, but never thought that adults needed boosters.

Wow, that was quick! I'd never let my pdoc talk with anyone unless I am in on the conversation as well.

Have a therapist appointment at noon this Friday. The last one two weeks ago went well, so I am looking forward to it. I would like to cover some other topics this time.
