Hey, i broke that chair!

Jul 08, 2017, 05:47 PM

That's my normal response, what I did. Instead of doing anything else I turn it on myself and cry. This is still about the thing with t - because of what happened with her, I was afraid to say anything today and just turned it on myself and left in tears. Like in the past. Instead of being honest and just saying, oops, you missed me, can I have a piece please? like any normal human being would.

I would say that if the thing with your therapist and the cake thief are related, it is more like they are symptoms of the same cause. Not that the one caused the other. As you say, it's your usual response. For which you should not be beating yourself up.

Confirming that at the moment I am nonlactationary

ruh roh · Jul 08, 2017, 05:57 PM

Art, that would have upset me, too. People can be really self absorbed and thoughtless, even in a setting where that's the last thing you would expect.

ruh roh · Jul 08, 2017, 05:59 PM

And art, I think the thing with your therapist really knocked you off your center and makes it harder for you to cope with these kinds of things. In my case, I don't need much provocation to cry about being left out of a cake experience.

well, i just meant because i took a chance and fought back with t instead of doing my normal response and look where it got me kind of thing.

CE: Cant Explain or Cake Experience?

ruh roh · Jul 08, 2017, 06:01 PM

Painted my porch railings today. Hands hurt like $%#@.

And now the dryer is sounding like an alien.

I'm going to ignore this stuff and go for a walk.

My washer was sounding like an alien the other day but thankfully it was only because son was trying to do 3 loads worth in one load. Once I took a bunch of his clothes out, then it sounded normal again! enjoy your walk.

Jul 08, 2017, 06:03 PM

I would have also been upset. I mean, we're talking about CAKE.

I hope you can find your center again, Art. I'm mad at your T for throwing you off center.

You did the self-affirming (and I think, right) thing by standing up for yourself... unfortunately you have no control over people reacting badly to it. I'll give you an extreme and obviously irrational example: I cut off contact with my family last year and within a month I had a very expensive at-fault accident and my apartment burnt down. They're totally unrelated to my family, but it took me a long time to stop thinking that those events happened as a result of standing up for myself.

I just remembered I have lemon creme oreos. I don't need their stinkin' cake. nomnomnom

Jul 08, 2017, 06:08 PM

Wait, wait. Lemon Oreos are a thing? I need to go to the store ASAP.

This. And also, even if sticking up for yourself brings you pain, it's a heck of a lot better-feeling pain to me than the pain from not sticking up for yourself.

I mean, I'm in pain from the divorce, from Smaug, from finally getting to end with No. 3, but I'll take it over still being stuck in that marriage, being bullied by Smaug, and as for 3 that pain will pass rather than eat away at me.

I'm going to go to the hospital tomorrow. I'm really scared but just telling my self it's not an option. Everyone I've told has basically freaked out and I guess I don't really see the severity. Also I know I will end up dying from it and yeah I guess I want to be alive. I'm going IP instead of rehab because my drug use comes from my maladaptive coping skills for my mental illness. So I'm looking for a safe place that's not gonna shove NA down my throat. I hope this is the last time I will ever go IP although I said that in 2012 I really do not want to be a drug addict and I know it ****s up EVERYTHING in one's life. I've been sober for long periods before so I just wana get that again.

I'm sorry for the drama i have caused and for worrying others
