Couch 117: Come On In and Set-tee A While

Is this the one who pinched your horse box?

I am hoping the horse ride thing went well.

We ended not going and rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Thanks for the good wishes!

Good luck!! I'm going trail riding tomorrow too. But fortunately with neighbors who I have not had a falling out with. Hope it goes well

The tears have come and I can't turn them off. Please , if you will say a prayer for it to make sense and be ok. I know that sounds weird but don't know anyway else to say it.

I'm sorry your therapist says that to you. Mine always says, if you had more children... (Knowing that we struggled with infertility). I think sometimes they are clueless and extremely insensitive.

Trail, wishing you comfort and peace. Perhaps in time, and if it is healing for you, your pain will make sense and become a well from which you can draw compassion from.

If it helps, I think those tears do not need a meaning for you to be "allowed" to cry. Pain is pain and sometimes it just comes in massive waves.

Thank you!! They are fierce. I've been looking for them for a bit and when they came, they came. Tears heal. I believe that.

Thank you. Friend.

Hugs. Do not be ashamed of needing to reach out.

Unfortunately it might not be considered abuse where I live though standards are better now.

Sometimes crying is all you can do.

Best wishes to you Redsun.

I have found at least two dark roast decaffeinated coffees that are not entirely awful.
I have two more to try.

Are goodbye posts not allowed anymore? I thought that was just for goodbye threads.

Right. http://forums.psychcentral.com/rules...-8-2014-a.html says under Inappropriate Content:

All goodbye posts. Instead, PM your friends privately if you choose to leave the community.

I thought it was just threads too. This is a bummer, because not everyone allows PM's. Or can you PM people that normally don't allow them if you are friended or whatever? Hmm. I've been around here long enough you'd think I'd know.

Hi, couchies. Feeling a bit more balanced today. Cleaned the kitchen, living room, office. Now I'm resting because my back is killing me. Then I'll make an early lunch and do some writing. Taking tomorrow off of work as well, just need a break and a recharging so to speak. I need to stop fighting therapy and do what I'm supposed to and things will get better. I've survived so much stuff I probably shouldn't have so that gives me an inkling I guess I'm supposed to be here so might as well figure out how to be happy I lived all those times. Time to relearn life. Now if I knew I could stay in this mindset that would be great but I know as I continue to face and move forward feom my past I'll have those dark thoughts return.

You'll be missed redsun.

Hope you're leg is feeling better, SD.

I'll try to keep up on the couch.

It is good to be reminded that this is an incredibly, incredibly unsafe space. I wonder how much serious self harm, physical and mental, Psych Central has directly contributed to? Sometimes I really hate this place.

I don't find it unsafe at all. And it is the safest, most get along forum I have ever been on. That of course does not mean no conflict or disagreement or anything like that. It would be impossible, I believe, as well as extremely unhelpful, if there was no disagreement amongst ideas. If I simply cannot abide another poster, I put them on my ignore list as they can do me.

I'm sorry, Crocus. You're right. I extensively screen what parts of the forum I frequent and what sort of threads I read, and that makes it mostly bearable for me. But sometimes I cross my own boundaries, and I really shouldn't do that.

Thanks - I am fine really - just kind of surprised at how beat up one can become from a simple fall. And incredibly happy I have the breed of dog I do. Their cat-like lack of concern is a large reason why I love this breed. A constant refrain in my breed specific obedience class was "they aren't golden retrievers"

I do like you and I do not understand you.

I with you right now.

Certainly there are posters and ideas that get me extremely riled up, but for me, that does not translate into unsafe. I have always known what to do about it - whether I actually do it or not.

I agree, i think we are a pretty get along forum. I think a lot of us work pretty hard at it and deserve a pat on the back. And no I don't mean JUST me! It's like the room just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
