Couch 140: Knocking pans

Normally I can puzzle out what you are saying...i am stumped on this one. I will have to contemplate this over ice cream

My parents wouldnt even put a waste basket in the bathroom for me. I had to sneak stuff into and out of the bathroom. But they never had to deal with it.

Now I see where you are coming from.
Do you want chocolate, vanilla or strawberry? or all three? I will eat your share too.

Read a news article about the increased awareness of child abuse resulting in a spike of reported cases. My country is trying to break the entrenched mindset that family violence is a private matter.

I've gotten to used to support groups who list TWs... forgot mainstream media reports graphic descriptions of child abuse...

One line made my heart jump - they acknowledged that excessive physical punishment can be abuse. That's the first time I've read something like this in my Asian country. Because even a discipline book by child psychiatrists and child psychologists in my country would say "alleged "child abuse" cases seen in [psychiatric clinic for children]" when talking about excessive physical punishment.

I love Darren brown

Happy Monday couch. Coffee's on, extra strength.

It must be 1000 posts when it lets you change your title, 'cos it let me!

BCM - I love Derren! Seen him live a few times, always amazing.

SD -- (no snark) am really sorry about derailing your thread.

(I would blame my going off the rails on the after-effects of certain substances I'd ingested but really, no, it's just my stellar personality.)

Anyhow, won't happen again.

It could be that you dissociated. Because I dissociated a lot, there is a lot that I don't remember, and sometimes two (or maybe more) events run together in my mind. For me, it has been helpful to just say that ___ is the way I remember it and go with that memory. I get confused and scared when I try to figure out exactly what went down. Regardless of the actual event, the trauma is real.

(((QM))) "alleged child abuse"?! That's... F***ed.

Think my favorite is the Simon pegg bit about the red bmx bike

"The Daddy Issues" (from the thread on Student Doctor where someone gave me that title)

Haha yeah
At one point i was considering making mine daddy issues but thought against it

I'll probably only leave that up for a little bit.

Are you doing better today? I'm sorry your friend wasn't taking you seriously. How much longer until you come home?

It is not as though you did not have help.

It is not a problem. I just did not want it to keep going down that path.

Sitting in a suite at the Heart Hospital (an hour early) waiting for my daughter. We just learned she has an enlarged heart and needs an Echocardiogram to diagnosis the problem. She's only 37 y/o.

I'll be with her hoping I will listen, ask relevant questions and be a calming influence.


Praying, hoping her heart is not too bad and this is fixable.

Hugs....

Prec - I hope your daughter is okay.

(((Precaryous))) sounds scary. I hope things turn out as well as possible.

Read a thing by mds earlier today - they bemoan the loss in status of their profession. People just don't respect doctors like they should (or like they used to do in the good old days) - pa's, rns, lcsw's have diluted their status (really that is what mds said). And patients are not grateful enough and think they (patients) get to choose their own treatment.

I am reminded of Cartman "respect my authority"

So scary, hope it turns out OK for her.
