****. There are people moving in next door and it sounds like they are about ready to come through the wall. It's 8 freaking o'clock in the morning.

The more darkly comic the movie the better in my opinion.

Hurrah! The kids on our street have gone away for easter, no annoying disobedient boys calling for my daughter then trapsing through my house and ignoring me when I tell them it's time to go home!

I arrived home from the hospital yesterday! T called and encouraged me every day.
It was nice to be able to sleep in this morning....no lab work at 3:30am..no vitals taken at 6am. I am going to miss all that free food, though. The food was actually not half bad. ALL of the nurses were nice, knowledgeable and my advocate. I received more information from the nurses than the doctors. 😁 |

I have several books about psychotherapy that I would like to give away when I feel better. One title is, "In Session." I would mail them as long as the person receiving them would pay shipping costs. Not interested in profit ..not well enough.. I just don't want it to cost me anything. Any idea how to do this?
Either that, or I can donate them to our local library. They say there is no guarantee they would keep them...they might sell them or something. I just want the books to be useful, if possible. |

One thing that was different with my sons was that when they needed therapy, it was much more short term and not as frequent as my own or my husband's therapy. We worked with it for the few months they needed therapy. I don't think my husband or I had to reduce our own sessions much, and since our co-pays weren't horrendous, we just did some cutting back in some other areas. I think the oldest only did about 4 or 5 sessions and decided he could figure out the rest on his own (and he did). The middle one did maybe 3 or 4 months of sessions (about every 10 days or so) and then he also was doing much better and didn't feel the need to continue. We assume, because of our own experiences with therapy, that everyone's therapy will be long-term and extensive, when in actuality, I think most people are more like my sons. Their issues are not entangled in horrendous abuse, major mental illness, etc., and they are able to get enough relief and understanding of their issues to work through them on their own after a short period of time working with a therapist who can help them see the direction they need to go. Slow yourself down and try not to consider this a failure on your part (it's not) or a major catastrophe (it's not), but just one of those bumps in the road that you will maneuver through. If this was a temporary illness or injury that required extra doctor's visits or something, you'd manage that. This is probably more along that lines than a long-term all-encompassing therapy situation. |

Well said, Lolagrace. I hadn't looked at it like that, but now that I do, I realize my sister only had about 6 sessions (CBT) and was then 'cured'.

Not too blunt. I feel the same way about h's poker money. And I'm going to talk with him about that. Like I responded to lolagrace, the biggest part of me freaking out was feeling like I failed my son..... which put me into global-thinking, all-or-nothing mode. Quote:

I really did panic last night. Mostly due to feeling like I failed my child. I hope I didn't miss anybody who responded to my post about this. Gonna go back and check. |

I have a much clearer head about it this morning. Like in my other responses to y'all the panic last night was due to my feeling like I failed my son absolutely. But there's no absolutes in life except we're born and we die and we pay taxes in between, and I"m thankful he trusts me enough to come to me with this and we'll work it out. The fact that he trusts me means I did something right, which means I didn't fail. thank you! |

I once taught a class with five people named Heather in it. No lie.

I was one of three people with my name in our girl scouts group (that had about 20 people in it). And my name isn't THAT common.

The neighbor's kids have been up and down the hall, giving everyone a little Easter basket. I am now in possession of six Cadbury creme eggs. Gross they may be, but they're free!

I like cadbury creme eggs.
I really like russell stover strawberry eggs - they remind me of my mother. I am not big on strawberry flavored things, but every year after we got past the easter bunny basket phase, we always got one on our plate at easter lunch. And my mother would bring the ham in and feign surprise at seeing them on each plate and we would all say in unison "look, the easter bunny came" and then laugh like maniacs. I know it isn't really funny sounding - but it amused us to no end.
