Couch 111 - The Simple, Clear, and Informative Couch

Well a dolphin looks more like a marlin than say a squirrel...

Eta - and people wonder what we talk about on the couch!.

Just remind yourself which one Hemingway wrote a novel about.

Hey, the difference between various species of big fish is a VERY important topic of conversation.

This isn't weird to me at all. Sex is about passion, and rage is a passionate emotion.
In fact I remember T correlating anger and sex in one of my couples' sessions way back when with the stbx. He seemed to think it completely normal...
Maybe rage is the only passionate emotion you feel...?

In answer to the informal poll, I don't know. How about that for an answer?

Sometimes I really identify with the issue or just empathize with the person. Sometimes I don't have anything constructive to say, so I say nothing. Sometimes I go off on a tangent and make it all about me, thereby invalidating the very person I was trying to help. . .

I think maybe it is because I have so very much rage that when I am actually experiencing, it feels like I have to DO something with it. Also with the CSA, there was a link between sexual acts and rage that T says tied them together in my psyche.

"for whom the talbots"?

I shop at talbots

I generally respond in real life to my friends no matter what - I don't really ask myself what their motives are. Unless directly asked, I don't usually offer ways to fix something. And if I get bored with it, I can sit and think of something else while they talk about whatever they want.

On forums, any of them, I usually respond to people I like (although sometimes I like a poster but simply have no idea what they are talking about OR I have no idea how to respond so I don't respond) or if I find the topic interesting. I have no dog in their fight. It doesn't matter whether I think they are bashing their head against the door, or if they think they have no choice or so on. I generally believe people are where they can be until they can be someplace else.

In terms of numbers of responses on forum posts (all over and on not just psych forums) - I think there can be a hooking in for many reasons, the topic can be interesting, posters can want to be right, posters can want to save someone, posters are over-identifying and so on. But - I am one of those who thinks attempts at helping can often be more harmful than just being left alone so that may color how I do it.

Its a fish!

You are beginning to adopt unaluna's posting style.

I am so glad I don't have an identifiable posting style.

I thought a haibut was a fish? A talbot was a castle feature.

A talbot was a dog

A turbot is a fish

MKAC re your poll. I am with SM on all points she said. I also get the rage sex.

My landlord is gonna sleep with the fishes! Just found out now that the inspection was postponed this morning, for a month!

Well at least your place is clean, right?

You're not a wierdo. Sex for me these days is a marital duty and nothing more. I don't care one way or the other about it. I don't know if I would feel differently about it if I were with someone else. There's just so much else more important, I dunno.

:/ I used to sleep with the ex just to get him to leave me alone. It'd be nice to have sex just because I wanted to... Haven't done that in about a decade... Not since my son was a baby and the ex was such an incredible arsehole that I lost all interest in him. Yet I stayed for all those years. Sigh.

Not quite! Firemen could still get lost all up in my stuff

Thats all?? No comment on the excellent pun i smelt especially for you??

Need some support. Well grandma is back at the facility, unhappily is seems, and not eating enough. We've concluded that when she passed out she thought she was finally dying. She has been ready for a while kinda sad but dont blame her at 94 and virtually no quality of life...I'd be ready too. The tears are coming and going tonight. Ugh! This may sound strange but please send peaceful vibe or pray for her peace if thats more your style. Thanks.

It was more like a pun + Spoonerism.

Also you got the book wrong.

Halfway through my wash cycle and it pours with rain. And the creepy postman is back.

Can totally relate to this!! It's been 2 years and actually the thought of it feels like a panic episode. I'd rather dig a ditch than be used anymore. A sewage ditch at that! My h is trying to "do better" I just hope there's a point that part of me is ok.
