Couch 78: Put your feet up and stay a while

I was talking about the therapist being required to break confidentiality if I told her something someone did....I think I will discuss my concern with her....but i worry she will think i am trying to protect someone...but i want to discuss my fears without here taking it seriously as an acusation ....i cant say too much here

Weird dreams about T all night, spent all day doing normal stuff. Thank god hubby is away so I can do homework without him demanding attention all the time.

The couch is saved from the second page again..

Looks as though, our American friends are either sleeping in or really out enjoying their Labor Day today. I have a ton of house work to do, and not motivation to do it.

I'm struggling.
Thanks for saving the Couch from page two!!
If you don't mind, I will put my feet up and stay a while! I would like someone to sit with me while I am feeling so raw and sad.
Thank you. Xx

(((Aaa)))

I'll sit with you but maybe few meters from you as I got a cold and it would be a pity to infect you...

Me too! I kept dreaming i was missing my appointment.

Watching tv with my morning - uh noon! - coffee. Wayne Newton on a Lucy show rerun. He always had a babyface but omg he looks like hes about 15. Cheeks!

what's going on A3

do you ever have that feeling that something is off and you can't figure out if it's you or if it really is off? or that you don't want it to be off because that means more work?

that's how i feel right now. *sigh*

Nowhere - I think I know the feeling you refer to.

thanks.

i like my denial world where i don't have to deal with things.

I have just realised this is me! I like A3! Thank you.

I can't function. I just feel overwhelmed by work, kids, school and college changes, let down by friends, shouted at by H. I'm a waste of everyone's time - a complete failure. I was so desperate I reached out to T - that was yesterday - just proves I have no one and I am no one. I treat everyone with care and loyalty and I just don't get it back. I consider my friends feelings before mine and my kids but it doesn't follow for me - I am just a doormat for everyone. My feelings don't matter to anyone. I can't take anymore. I'm sorry.

That's British Ts for you, A3.
(I'm not making light of your pain. Really not. I'm just clumsily trying to convey that I understand. And I'm so sorry you are hurting so much.)

You're so right re. The British(ness)! It was Sunday yesterday after all!
But still no acknowledgement today.... This really hurts. I'm done with it all.

Why do I worry so much about people not liking me?
I am convinced nobody likes me. I have been very badly treated by a couple of 'friends' and it involves my youngest son which just makes me fall apart. I am in such a bad place at the moment. I am usually not like this but today/this weekend something has happened. I can't hide my pain anymore. I don't want to. I just have no energy left. What should I do? No one cares. No one asks if I'm ok but I constantly ask after friends and care about them.
I'm sorry - this isn't appropriate for the couch, is it.

its all good for the couch. (hugs) im sorry your friends are treating you bad and your son is involved

Au contraire, ma cherie! The couch is just the place for it.

Swooping in to save the couch from page 2. Adopted the neighbours cat, they'll never get it back now. BWAHAHA!

A3, that is one of the main purposes of the couch.

Currently watching MY BIL breakdown.. he is manic and proving to be less and less coherent. I can't sleep, and really all I want to do is run over to his house and make sure he will be safe. I have no reason to think that he is a danger to himself or to others, I know he is starting have paranoid thoughts..I don't know where the point is as far as him needing help, and letting him be manic. I will call his mom in about an hour and let her know about the bizarre conversation we just had.

I am sorry you are having to observe and go through this. I have been through something very similar with my god daughter who is 16. She was hospitalized for three months and is now making a slow but steady recovery. It is so hard to observe but knowing you are there for him and for the rest of the family will be a huge help to everyone. i didn't realize how much my support benefited the family until I had a conversation with one of the consultants at the hospital she was admitted to most recently (she has had three episodes). Keep strong Healed.

Watching True Blood Season 1 to distract my destructive thoughts.

Wow! Just saw the new t at my T's practice. Holy **** this guy is HOT!!!

I have honestly never seen anyone who I knew was a therapist that I thought was hot. Not even the one I dated. Nor the lawyer I dated who became a therapist after she moved away.

Coming back to snuggle on the couch - thank you all,for your support - I can't begin to tell you how much your support and validation has meant to me these past few days. I am struggling and I don't really know what to do but to be able to reach out like this is the one positive thing I can hold onto right now. Thank you. Xx
