'85: "We Are The (Couch) World..."

that's good to hear . I remember your sister was being kind of horrible for a while

make a list ready that is what I have done for today. not that I have worked on any of it yet

While I'm waiting for the kids to be up and ready to go, I fixed a plaque of my daughter's for her room and patched some holes in dry wall that my dogs dug. Wondering if this is how "normal" people feel all the time -- like the whole day doesn't seem like an horrible burden to just get through and like I have energy to actually do stuff without it seeming overwhelming.

can you send some of that energy this way . just enough to get me moving

"Are you done yet?"

Bolded part me too me too! I've worked out a LOT of stuff through posting on pc.

DIAF?

I've been trying to guess what that might be and all I have is die in a fire lol

Yup, that's what it means alright I don't much like manipulators...

Seriously? lol I was joking haha

I was having an LSG moment. (Lazy, Stupid and Godless for the uninformed...)

Did the mods delete the Amy thread? Did I miss anything?Aren't they going to even let us process it, or learn the truth?

lol I have those moments.

Doubtful.

I looked through it last night. Bizarre. My opinion doesn't matter as I was not here there nor do I know the people involved.

Yeah, but so many of us were involved! I just wish I knew the truth.

I can't see the mods leaving it there. I could see it causing hurt feelings all around. Either way there are hurt feelings, but it seems that removing it would leave less hurt feelings.

Obviously just my opinion as an outsider. I could be wrong.

I think it's gone... Can't find it at any rate.

So do I, but the truth is not going to come out through a group discussion. The only way you could know is if somebody were to post an admission that it was a hoax, but even then you'd need evidence that it's not just somebody trying on another kind of joke.

Trust me, carrying out an investigation into whether it is true or not is going to cause many more hurt feelings. There is a very good principle on the Internet called "Do not feed the trolls", that is, when somebody is obviously a troll it is better to ignore them entirely. Whether this situation was a hoax or not, I don't think there was any actual trolling involved (with one exception - I think that if it was a fake persona, the same person probably operated several accounts, one of which was a very obvious troll), but the same principle applies. Give it the silent treatment, because talking about it won't solve anything, and if there is a perpetrator who is laughing their head off at all the people who fell for the deception, don't give them the satisfaction. Just ignore it.

Thanks Mast. That is essentially what I was going for. I just lacked the words.

I agree but it still triggers me personally. I hope I can forget it and move on or I'll have to discuss it with my T. It's just way I am. I have trouble moving on, and maybe its the OCD. I can spend hours and hours on genealogy in spite of the challenges. Too many hours. My stuff. I won't post about that thread anymore. Except one thing. I wanted to reread it for all the great ideas/,insights. Oh, well
Enough!

Hi,

So I don't know what to do about my "therapy" situation. Again. Haven't had a session in three weeks and I haven't been doing well at all lately. Called my mother yesterday and tried telling her that I'm getting depressed again. She said she could hear something was wrong and that even the fact that I was making a phone call like that is a warning sign to her since my voice was all "shaky" and I'm not really someone who normally talks about my thoughts and feelings.

I'm really starting to think that things might never get any better for me. I'm starting to feel like maybe I need to rebuild those metaphorical walls that took so many years to break down. Feels like I'm regressing and I suspect that isn't a good thing but hey, in this world you apparently need to be able to fend for yourself so I guess I need those damn walls.

I'm alone in this. Not that I think anyone cares but yeah.

EDIT: Is it wrong that I'm angry/upset with my psychologist (ex-psychologist?) for abandoning me like this?

I'm sorry, neutrino. I haven't read your posts, but I do hope you feel better. Are you on meds, or maybe you need a change of dosage? I just read your edit. That's awful! Your pdoc or T abandoning you. Are you sure? Did you post in the main forum or here? I want to find it so you don't have to re-explain.

Thanks.

No, no meds.

About being abandoned by my psychologist: not sure whether or not it's permanent. Seems like it pretty much is though, if I've understood it correctly. Three weeks ago, when we last met up, she told me we're not going to meet up for individual sessions like we've done before. Instead she told me to join a discussion group for people with the same diagnosis. It's only for 6 weeks though. After that I'm not sure what will happen. I asked her about it and she said we will probably have a follow-up session but then we might only meet up once every 6 months or once every year to go through my "plan" (they have individual patient plans at that place) where I get to voice my concerns if I have any and maybe change the plan a bit. As if that'll help. She said we might meet up during the semester but I'm pretty sure it won't be regularly like before. The goal is for me to be able to manage on my own. And sure, I can be independent. I just won't do well.

EDIT: She's a good person. I like her, which makes this even more difficult.

Yeah, they match you right away. I took it down-it freaked me out.

It has always amazed me how cats can find THE EXACT word/sentence you are reading and sit or lie or put their paws over. Its uncanny.

I think cats are far more intelligent than we give them credit for.
