Or maybe others get how - and I just don't. I am kind of literal in this respect.

its ok stopdog . I get it .im just feeling stupid right now .

I try and map things out before I go, but as you mentioned, it's an imperfect science and hard to find enough time to allow for every potential mishap. I am hoping to have more time in the future.... been working on it.

I use the gps on my phone for everything - I have the Google maps app. It hasn't let me down yet.

Must have missed something, but speaking for myself, I never get tired of your posts. In fact, I've missed you lately. Don't know what is going on, but know you can write about it when you are ready to. Sorry you are having a difficult time. I'm still here.

My therapist is a Gryffindor. No doubt about it.

I'm a Ravenclaw. No doubt about that either...

I don't agree that you are stupid nor that people are tired of you. Your threads about your therapist generate concern and response. Of course, if the responses are hurtful to you then I understand why one would stop.

I think I need a fifth choice.
The therapist is completely slytherin. I think their whole profession is.

H is being stubborn, he got stung by a wasp last night, and he is having a localized reaction. His whole hand is swelling up. Last time this happened he needed steroids to bring the swelling down, but he is refusing to see a doctor. GAH! It bothers me, and I don't know why I just can't let it go. Stupid man...

Had a blah day.. feeling a bit down, didn't help that I didn't leave the house at all today. Tomorrow the kids and I need to get out of the house tomorrow.

We cannot make ourselves responsible for others reactions/responses. Maybe when the pain gets too much he will cave.

I am yelling at the computer screen again. I really shouldn't watch these shows. I know its a plot device.

I feel tired, frustrated, sad, angry! I wish I had energy to keep up with this thread. My husband fell today, for the first time, in the house. With the cane. Have to hire a caregiver I think. I still couldn't cry with my T today. I'm just exhausted, and I gained 5 lbs. in 2 weeks! Stress! T said I was over thinking about the touch, and I held her hand as usual. People keep bringing us too much food. I'm just venting. Nothing will help. At least he's not in pain.

Nah, mine's a Gryff. I don't necessarily see that as an all-good thing though - Gryffs have a barge in and save the day with guns blazing ask questions later kind of thing going. It works well for me though, because I overthink things and tend to get bogged down in plans and ideas.

(I write HP fanfic

Though I haven't written anything in ages... If I ever have time I might have to think up something based around my therapeutic relationship. It'd be fun.)

Have you looked into respite care? Your H should be entitled to disability benefits...

Jul 28, 2015, 08:09 PM

Rainbow, sorry to hear your husband fell. One thing that you probably need to do whether you bring someone in to help or not is to get him to use a walker. Canes aren't terribly supportive and really not good stabilizers. My husband has gone to crutches pretty much full time because a cane just doesn't do the trick anymore. I wouldn't recommend crutches though; tricky little boogers. A walker would be the better option with someone who is weakened and unstable.

It's monsooning its butt off outside right now!! Just got home from taking my son to get new glasses, and the storm hit while we were in costco, drove home in a torrential downpour complete with huge, bright lightening bolts, ginormous thunderclaps, flooded streets, downed trees everywhere.... it was FUN!! I should have become a storm chaser. I love weather, the wilder and woolier the better.

I know others see them differently. The ones I know and read about are all slytherin. Surely some will even report theirs are hufflepuffs.

You have every right to post and ask for support as you need it. I am not sick of you!!

I love this!

My long term therapist is raven claw--a very bright fellow!

CBT T has a gryffindor swagger, but is probably a hufflepuff after all.

Thanks JustShakey.

I actually don't really use a cell phone, but I did buy a really inexpensive one and I use it a little for my new job, but it does not have have internet access, nor gps, nor a camera, etc. It just makes calls lol. $10/month

I live a pretty simple life re: tech, and modestly in most things. But I am considering I'll have to upgrade once I transition to full time work outside the home.

I make a pretty good living but we've had tremendous medical bills and vet bills, then there's the mortgage and the rest, mostly on things for my kiddo and for special events w/family.
