It is back to grey overcastness here. I hate when the sun is not out. And I keep accidentally whacking into the cat who is glued to the space heater next to my chair.

I have a Bachelors degree (with a string of honors stuff behind it) in English, and my doctorate is in law, which involves the use of language, so please trust me when I tell you that the use of the English language is not at all something you have any reason whatsoever to feel inferior about. Truly. I am not just saying that to be nice. As you may have noticed on this forum, I am not all that shy about telling people if I think something is a problem. hahahahaha.

Mast - your English is excellent!

I have not slept more than 2 hours/night in three nights. I don't feel tired at all. I wonder what that is about. DH hasn't been sleeping either but we don't hear any odd noises or anything that would keep us up.
Thanks for this!

I want to go shopping. I never want to go shopping. I have gift cards.

Some days I marvel that the craziest person I ever dated is now a therapist. So crazy that my friends kept telling me how crazy she was. I did not live with her so her craziness was somewhat contained away from me - I knew she was a bit off and since I did not imagine myself in love with her, I was not too concerned. I can now completely imagine how she would completely **** up some types of clients.

Yesterday T and I talked a tiny bit about my knee-jerk reaction being "shame" because I got caught not being perfect. Today a coworker is constantly harping on me about it, to the point where I'm actually ASHAMED that I'm ashamed of myself. Can we change the damn subject please?? And for the record, pointing out someone's flaws doesn't mean the pointer is shaming the pointee, but when the pointee has a history of flawed thinking and cognitive distortions, just let sleeping dogs lie!!

Argh! I feel like I'm running in circles. Every lead I follow feels like I get shut down. As if I don't feel enough like a bum walking around with my hand out.

Hey all...long time no type.
I am buried in about 2.5 feet of snow, with many drifts that are 10-12 feet high. Crazy. We are warm and dry though. I took a bad fall last week and broke my elbow and wrist, so I am casted and learning to do things left handed.

I miss you all so much. I was watching a show on netflix called AWAKE, and it reminded me of therapy and everyone here. I haven't seen a T in 2 years, but I still occasionally think about it. Today was one of those days where I "browsed" psych today looking. I have this awful fear that I need to get a handle on.

I am ashamed to say I didn't read back on the thread, so I don't know what's going on with everyone. I hope all are well.

Hankstah asked for landscape pics...so here are a couple from me.

I felt like Jasmine in that scene from Disney's Aladdin where she's trapped in an hourglass and drowning in sand. Anyway I didn't respond then because I'm overwhelmed between work and baby and oh yeah, mental health maybe?


I still don't sleep for long stretches at night, and I definitely feel like my mind is slowly giving way. Hang in there!

Thanks. Glad to hear it got better for you.

The Aladdin analogy is perfect. That is essentially what it is like. Between my head, my baby, and my toddler I don't get much sleep some nights. There was a while where I was sleeping ok, but right now baby and my mind are giving me trouble.

Unfortunately, I can't see my mind getting much of a break any time soon... If at all for that matter.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I think your English is better than mine and it's the only language I know. hugs!

We have a mix of sun and cloud today. I prefer the cloud, but I'll take sun over snow any day.

Cats pick the best places to chill eh? lol

I live in drama central. It's unavoidable. Everyone's on edge in this place and we all feed off each other. Hate it. Stuck. Just hate it.

I'm panicking like nothing on Earth today, can you tell?

AAAH! The Wiki appears! I was actually thinking of you, when I was watching the news on Tuesday and Wednesday, hearing about how bad it was on the Cape and the Islands (lots of snow in the city too, but the winds not nearly as bad). I thought about PMing you, but every time I even thought about opening up my laptop, Baby Brown seemed to sense I might want to pay attention to something else for 5 minutes...

Miss you too, Lefty

That snow picture is one of the many reasons I will never move closer to my family. I have been hearing tales of how snowed in they are and they are not on the cape.
Sorry to hear about your broken bones Wikid.

So, they're putting up notices saying there's going to be no water here tomorrow morning. Stick a fork in me. I'm done.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
