The answer is: (Couch) 84. The question is...

I use a MacBook that's about five years old. It's held up so much better than any PC I've had.

I just feel like the world is a horrible place . just wanted to say that

I have a macbook pro 15 retina and I am really glad I got it. I kept putting it off because of the expense, but it is very nice for my needs.

Sorry you are having a rough time Granite.

Anybody else get the urge to thank their Therapist? I mean, I say thank you to him at the end of our sessions, or after he offers to be there for me, through something. However, this morning.. I feel like I want to email him and just thank him for being a good T. Maybe it is because at the end of our last two sessions he has told me what good work I am doing and I want to say, so is he! Weird urge I am having!

I have never had an urge to thank a therapist for anything.

I didn't think so

Not so far... But I've recently switched Ts so not quite there. Still trying to figure out what I need.

This sounds like something that could be on a grumpy cat meme.

I hope you don't take offence as I mean none.

I've thanked my T. Usually it's in the context of something he's done for me that's maybe a bit above and beyond the usual - schedule accommodations, dealing with the accounting department for me when I can't make headway (because they don't know what they're doing). I've thanked him once or twice probably for just being a great T, I'm sure... I think LOL

not everyone. I promise.

I hate overcooked veggies
Hey healed... I did it both with eye movement, and rods in my hands that buzz back and forth. It was really uncomfortable for me. The eye one, because I have such an awful with eye contact really bothered me. Messed me up for a few weeks. The rods just didn't help. BUT...that's just me, and I have heard a lot of people love it. When I went away for a PTSD summit thingy, they said that it was good for people with one or two traumas, but people with a lifetime of trauma, not so much. Hope that helps.
I am loving a bamboo steamer my son bought me for xmass.
BTW - H has this new way of doing bacon. He puts it in the cast iron fry pan, and just covers it with water and cooks it on high till the water boils off. Then he crisps it up. Hardly any fat, because the water renders most of it. He and son love it.

Speaking of Elephants in the room:

I am so sorry if I hurt anyone by leaving. I understand that I broke trust, and I know it offended some people. I cannot promise that I will hang around as much as I did before, or that I will not disappear again. I will try my best to be supportive and non-judgmental when I am here (I know that I lacked that before). I was acting "high & mighty" and I know it. It was not good for anyone.

I am NOT apologizing for taking a break, because I needed it.
I am apologizing if it hurt someone.

None taken. I don't really know what it means.

I don't remember you but I only joined in the last year. Idk. I figure people on the internet have the right to disappear as they wish.

I wish people would stop disappearing sometimes.. Lolocabbana I am talking to you!!

That would be hilarious. We in the past have pictured stopdog with a top hat and a monocle and an ascot, but i could definitely see grumpy cat saying this!

I make sure to disappear periodically so no one gets attached. Then I'm like "Whatevs."

I am more of a maine coone cat/domestic shorthair than I am persian.

Hmm. And hows that working out for you? : hankster hanging on nowheres skirt eta with one hand and wikis with the other :

I don't take offense when people leave. I don't think they are doing it at me. I sometimes miss some people (wikid, lola, so forth) but some leave and and I think good (no one specifically comes to mind right at the moment)

Ha! Tricked you. I don't wear skirts (well okay, not very often, I'm a jeans kinda gal).

wiki I hope your friends daughter gets the help she needs when inpatient

I almost always feel the need to thank my t. She's helped me to learn how to help myself in so many ways. But as of Thursday I feel this disconnect from my t and it makes me feel sad. I want to email her about it, but at the same time I feel like I want to leave her alone and let her deal with herself because of what she said to me the other day, sounding all annoyed with me. I've come far enough in this process to know that's HER issue, not mine, so I need to let her deal with it. It's like we've gotten too close or something and we're both pulling away from each other. I don't know. She won't admit that. But that's what I feel. It makes me sad. But I suppose it's for the best.

granite i hope things start looking better for you. there are good people out here in the world. sometimes it feels like there aren't. but i have to remind myself of that sometimes too and remember to let my friends in, to let them love me, when i feel the most unloveable.

Oh good. I mean it with the utmost respect.

Agreed. People come and go. I've certainly done that a few times other places myself.
