Couch 111 - The Simple, Clear, and Informative Couch

Ohmygosh, granite, I don't know how that happened. I'm sorry it did!

Granite, go into your Amazon account and scroll down until you find "Personalization" and then "My Social Settings" and unclick Facebook and Twitter. Amazon defaults as connected to these; you have to unclick them to take them off. You can also completely disconnect your Amazon account from your Facebook in the same place. In the meantime, but delete those posts off of your timeline. It will be okay.

that is the strange thing .i had already done that and i am also not connected to FB on my kindle or any of that . the tech people couldnt find anyplace it was linked . of course they blamed my FB settings and told me to turn off the ability for outside places to link with my account . but how were they able to post that if it was not linked .no one would take responsibility for that at all. i was crying it was such an invasion of my privacy . i cant believe they can just post for everyone in the world to see what im looking at . my friends were commenting and liking it so i know people could see it . i never gave them permission and i didnt have it linked at all . i have now fixed it but i was looking at books about borderline personality and stuff and all my FB people could see it including my mother in law who knows nothing about my issues

I hate how facebook is attached to everything. Seriously, it needs therapy. I've had that happen too, granite, it was so embarrassing.

i just couldnt believe it when i was checking out my home page and found it there . thank god i check that . it was not on my FB page itself but the home page that shows what everyone is up to . i wouldnt have seen it otherwise

Not a active member on the couch..but wanted to just write something out.

last session...we talked about boundaries. I have none. I gave examples when i have let strangers and non strangers touch me . i was not able to say no or stop. even as an adult, i was not sure if it was my place to say no. i hated it. but trusted the other person instead.
it sounded crazy admiting this and hearing myself say it out loud. T was so good about it . keeping a straight face.
more i think about it..more stupid and insane it sounds. how on earth do i give other ppl the right to touch me any way they want? what is it that i am so unsure of? why am i afraid to say no.?

I wish my parents had told me...or someone had said... no one can touch you without your permission. period.
i would have been more confident to say No or stop.

Eek! I'm sorry that happened to you. I need to go check my settings. Facebook has really gotten too big for its britches. I'd be tempted to just shut it down and quit it altogether, but it's the only place I stay in touch with some of my old-old camp friends, and I don't want to lose touch altogether with them again. We only just found each other back on there!

Thank you for sharing this. I also have struggled with this my whole life. It's this paralyzingly feeling of having to be compliant.

I relate.

Not adulting today. Feel free to join me.

I shall join you in not adulting today! Although I must take a pause and adult just long enough to go in for the dreaded root canal. After which, I shall resume said not adulting!!

Here is Miss Penelope Pitstop (Penny for short) posing pretty a few minutes ago! She's getting big!

The endodontist office just called wanting me to come in early. I have to be there in an hour now. Welp, guess I can be happy knowing it will be done sooner now. I'm nervous, but not as bad as I thought I would be. I shall report back after it's done, and share how I decide to reward myself

Thanks for your Dear T thread Art. I feel all of that and completely relate

She's got a real come-hither look going on, doesn't she?

I always thought she had wild eyes, even as a kitten like she knows what the score is!

Or shes saying - "elect ME president, you fools!" :

Just for you two I am wearing a jacket from Talbots today.

Love Talbots.

So much for coming here early. It's almost my orig appt time and still waiting. Meh.

Just wanted to brag a little. DD2's teacher called, wanting to brag about yesterday's MAP test scores. The reading score is up 10 points from the beginning of the school year, and 24 points from the end of last school year. More importantly, she was able to maintain focus for 2 hours to complete the test. This is huge for my little ADHD unmedicated child. I'm so glad she finally learned how to read, and enjoys going to school now. Wow. . .

You have every right to brag!! That's wonderful improvement!!

So I'm home from the endodontist. The saga continues... after examining my tooth he determined that it is not a good candidate for a root canal - the other dentist was wrong. He said he could do it, but it would be 100% sure to fail, he said there is basically no hope to save this tooth and recommended pulling it. Of course, they couldn't do that today.... so I scheduled to have it done 2 weeks from now. That's okay. It's not hurting right now, and we have some leftover oxycodone from when h had a tooth pulled a few months back in case it gets bad again before.

(that should not be too few characters, PC.)

SM - good news.

Art - how trying it would be to get geared up for dental challenges only to have to change courses.

Yay! Awesome news Stressed!
