Couch 90 - nine tee - not nine teen.

I miss sleeping through the night and its not even the kids keeping me awaked.. Stupid insomnia. H is out of town until Saturday so it is just me and the kids this week, I do well during the days and then at night when the kids are in bed, I have anxiety. The idea that I have to hold it together for a whole week and not hide in my bedroom after work is a lot for me in my current state. I have done it for 24hrs so far. We'll see how the work day goes.

Good morning couch... I am sure much of you are sleeping still.

Hugs healed.

It's hard to always hold it together. I have a heck of a time with this. Hold it together all day until bed time at 20:00. Then I can finally curl up in bed and hide.

Hey couch. I just read back a bit and see I missed some hullaballoo. I'm sorry for anyone feeling hurt over whatever it was that happened. Let's just embrace the positive things that come from having pc and interacting with each other here, and let the negative bits go. Kinda like therapy, practice for the real world, something like that. We can do this ya'all. Sending hugs to those that want them and good thoughts to all. Peace be with us.

Ok, I need some advice from anybody who knows about my current T situation... Meaning the I know his family, teach at his kids school thing.. I am afraid to post about it here because I think it will give away a lot of detail.. Anyways.. if you wanna pm go ahead.

Granite, I showed up here and had no clue what was going on or who was involved...just that all was chaos and I thought how much it reminds me of my family, especially right now when I can't get a straight story on a sibling's attempts to drink herself to death and trying to follow the bouncing hospital ball. I deal with things with humor because that's all I've got.

fwiw, I still have no idea what went on here, and I think most people have missed it too.

Hey pocket riders, things might get a little rough at 10:30 or thereabouts. Hang on for the ride please!

I am a nervous wreck because when it comes time to defend myself or justify myself it looks like confrontation so I freeze. Since y'all can't speak up for me, I'll borrow your strength if you'll let me!

I read back but I forgot what page, and found Sabby's post. She deleted 17 posts, so granite, it was not specifically about you. Sabby said this kind of thread is supposed to be light. Hmm. No T talk then? No one ever told us THAT before. I never read the deleted posts, but it seems like we're not supposed to talk about other people even if not by user name.

Hi Folks,

I see a lot of you are upset about the removal of some posting that was against our Community Guidelines. I'm sorry about the upset but it seems to the team that there are many things that are posted here that cause pain and harm to members, even if not intending to do so. That is the reason for the Community Guidelines. They are in place to help keep this community in a positive and helpful light.

Psychotherapy is a difficult thing for anyone to go through. Discussing what you are dealing with can also be very difficult and there are many different ideas and opinions that come from the members. But, when things get personal, that's where the line needs to be drawn.

It seems some of you think that you are able to post whatever it is you want to post, regardless of how hurtful it may come off to another member because of free speech. Well, we don't offer free speech here, we are a private website that does not have to follow the political free speech law.

Here are the guidelines used in our decisions about removing posts:

These guidelines are for all forums, Psychotherapy included. We hope that you will all take these guidelines into consideration when posting. You are all wonderful and intelligent folks and we are not angry nor do we dislike anyone. We are simply doing our jobs and applying the guidelines like we do in any other forum.

Remember, you can "report" anything you feel is against guidelines to the Team. No one knows who reports anything except the Team and we don't tell. This is a helpful tool for members and the Team when it comes to applying the guidelines and dealing with interpersonal issues that arise.

Thanks!

Thanks - and you would think - but it really does not knock me out that much - I take 1 gelcap and had a tablespoonof american honey/cinnamon/cloves/ginger in my tea. Too much nyquel - like both gelcaps - makes me feel loopy all day too - so I have to take just enough to sleep but not too much that it lasts throughout the next day.

I thought of a good money-making scheme. Create a therapy version of an advent calendar with a place for a picture of one's therapist on top and windows to be filled with encouraging sayings. Or just chocolate.

Pictures of them? In my house?? Ack.

Lmao!

…or just chocolate!!!!
lol

Oh dear. This might frighten me. Hahaha. Made me laugh though.

You can choose the dartboard option and send me the chocolate

I'm not fired, nor am I in trouble. My boss wants me to "work up to my potential" and "take the initiative" like I've been hearing my whole life. How is someone who feels worthless, whose opinion doesn't matter, supposed to jump forward and do things without being told? I can't do it properly, I will give the wrong answer, etc. etc. She said she recognizes that I feel that way but she can't figure out WHY I feel that way. Praise, etc. I don't want that. The more I hear praise the more little voice in my head shouts that down.

So, we have an agreement, she'll back me up if I'll back her up, and make a good effort at work. And so it goes. . .

Thanks for lending me your strength pocket riders!!!

I think that I am going to buy a couch today. Seems like a good thing to do in between school and D's dance class.

My afternoon aide is home with sick kids today, so I am left here alone in my classroom while my kids are at a special... my mind left to wander. Eeeek... So confused about T.

MMMMMMM Hankster!!!!

I cleaned my glasses so hard today that I broke the lens out, so spent my lunchbreak at the optometrist and now I'm starving! Why have the wonders of modern medicine failed me today? Because usually I have no appetite at all, but today I could eat my weight in vittles.

I thought I was past treating my hurts with food!

^^ i've done that cleaning the glasses too hard things before. it's so annoying.

having sweet potato and chicken goujons for dinner. so hungry.

I just made some oatmeal for lunch at work. I should do this more often its like a warm hug from the inside. Yes I know I am weird that's just how I roll. Ahaha!

I love oatmeal. T puts bacon in his steel cut oats - i tell him hes confusing his cholesterol! I put veggie sausage and fresh tomato slices on mine (equal nbr of pieces of sausage and tomato!).

((Granite))

I can see you are very upset.

Pet Peeve of the day:

Managers, VP's and other corporate muckity-mucks ask for opinions.
The group gives them thoughtful opinions.
Said muckity-mucks complain that everyone is being negative.

Ugh. This is how companies fall behind and die.

I am doing yes day with toddler today... Oh the things she has asked for are amusing.
