I've made a bunch of agreements to make it easier for me but it's still really frightening. I can barely talk to my T about this let alone my parents let alone 2 T's and 2 parents at the same time!

i'm in if its not too late.

Hoping it goes well for you.

This past monthh or two my T has been interested in my day-to-day life. He never really is normally.
The puppy is burying things in the printer feeder tray again. I need a higher table to put it on.
Last night after a bit of a dominance battle he pee'd on my bed.

I have a head ache but I don't think it is from the gin and dubonnet (which is ridiculously cheap) also very enjoyable. Thanks SD.

4 days post-tooth-extraction, and guess what? My sense of smell is returning!! I'm so excited. After work I made flan and it smells so GOOD!

Art so glad your sense of smell has returned. I have an unusually acute sense of smell and often wish for a cold so it gets toned down.

I am hurting and have writen a text to my t as I am confused and need to tell someone that these feelings are less then awesome. I wonder if he is deliberately terminating text communication to see how I cope as at the end of last session he asked me how i was going to manage these feelings and I had made myself bleed in session by digging my nails into my arm i think this cruel. I haven't sent the text because he requested me not continue the conversation.

Thanks. My hearing's like that - it's blissful when I have a stuffy head and can't hear so well. My h often tests me by whispering to me from the next room and I always hear him..... and he can't believe it. I had to get a dr's note saying I have above-average hearing in order to get a double-eared headset at work, otherwise the noise of working in a call center is overwhelming to me if I have one ear open to it.

My son liked the hummus too. It's gone already! I should have made a double batch!

Apparently I was asking questions better asked in a session. I thought they were straightfoward questions. He was very polite about it.

I'm sorry, that sounds so hurtful, asking a question then asking you not to continue the conversation. I don't understand why t's do this I mean try to tell us not to talk about something. I got upset with my t when she got aggravated with me for sighing so much, and said "I'll start so you don't just sit there sighing" on one particular phone session. That I thought was cruel of her. I was having trouble talking about a particular subject so I sighed a lot.

For those who have had a tooth pulled: how do you keep yourself from poking your tongue in the resulting hole? I can't stop. It's an obsession.

velcro003 · Apr 25, 2016, 08:19 PM

oh man, all i feel like i do is sigh in therapy, i would hate it if my T commented on it!

I'm sorry that made me laugh because my T will ask about things and then will say after 1-2 answers "I'll tell you so you don't have to guess" But I am clueless about feelings anyway, especially other peoples reactions so its probably for the best.

Hurting tonight Couchies. DD1 is talking about moving in with her boyfriend's mom and stepdad. I see them hurting each other so often, and I know she's making a huge mistake, but all I can do is give my blessings and keep my door open for her to come back. Ack.

I sent the text. It was short saying I didn't know what to do with these feelings and I think this is all witchcraft. II don't really want him to answer I just had to tell him now and not in 6 days time.
