Welcome to the couch, old and new! A place to hang out - sometimes you get immediate feedback, sometimes you don't.

Shouting, "Cool Whip" tends to bring others out from between the cushions if you're feeling lonely.

This is a chatty thread. All are welcome. We're kind of psychologically oriented, sometimes. We try to be supportive. At times we discuss what that means.

It’s a place to plop down on the couch when you come home from work or wherever, or wake up in the middle of the night, or check in at lunch, rant a bit or not, and be among friends.

We advise you not to drink or drug and text your therapist ("T") - we speak from experience...

Sometimes the thread moves fast and you might get overlooked; sometimes it moves slowly and all you hear are crickets. Sometimes you get hugged or thanked pages later. So if it's a bigger question, you might want to start a new thread.

Grab a cushion, a spot on the floor, or an armchair in the corner (or with us) and make yourselves comfy!

I am hanging.. trying to see positive things in my life right now. T tomorrow, which is a mixed bag for me, still working through a disagreement between the two of us on top of dealing with my stupid life issues.

T disagreements are the worst and definitely harder when life issues happen.

My teeth are infected again which means I have to go to the doctor for antibiotics. One of my teeth is only half there the enamel is gone and I can feel the pulp. It is disgusting but not enough for me to go the dentist. I think my t said my GP is on holidays so I will probably have to see the little mousy doctor. It s a good thing I know what's wrong. Anyway I wouldn't want to see my GP as we had an argument about pelvic ultrasounds and Pap smears last time. I wouldn't tell her why I won't have them.

I'm feeling a lot better this afternoon, couch. SO much wisdom was shared with me on the prev couch, and I appreciate it so very much. During my lunch break today I was not thinking, but feeling through what happened with t yesterday. That's one thing that I think she got right - she said sometimes I try to think too much, which doesn't always serve me well, because thinking is not my dominant function - feeling is - so I was letting myself feel through it all today including what the couch sages shared. And I came away feeling the following:

I'm going to take a break from therapy. I feel like t and I need some distance from this relationship. A clearer perspective, if you will. And then I will contact her in November with a decision on whether I wish to continue or not at that point. If I decide not, then we can process the ending.

Oh! And in other more exciting news! I got a phone call today from the recruiter about the Research and Resolution position I applied for at work, to schedule a phone interview which will be on Monday morning. Yay! After that, I interview in person with the supervisor and manager of the group. The supervisor has already told me to expect an interview, I think she wants me on her team, that feels good.

And, I got off work early today to go over to the college and show them my transcript so I could get out of the prerequisite Reading class. And now I am registered for a fall class, I decided to retake Psych 101 since it's been 34 years since I took it last and I may have forgot a few things lol. Just ordered my textbook too. I don't feel so bad about paying $94 for it either, since I got a 50% discount on my tuition due to turning 55 the other day!

I am feeling so much more settled this afternoon than I was 24 hours ago.

Good job, you crazy college kids. I was just talking to a colleague about getting my Masters today. I mean, I want to, but I also don't want to.

And by "I don't want to," I mean that I want to go into some kind of counseling program versus an advanced teaching degree. But then again I don't know that I'd be a good counselor. I don't know what I want.

Other than a snow cone. That sounds good right now.
