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! Continued From : The Couch 147: Maximum Break!

My coping mechanism to dissociation is extreme anxiety, where I know I'm real but I wonder if my friend got in the car drunk and is in the hospital somewhere, and I unknowingly said something horribly offensive to the airbnb person in our message and she's not going to show up and she'll also leave a one-star review and I'll never be able to make money this way ever again

ETA: I also don't think the things your anxiety is suggesting are things that have actually happened. My anxiety is similarly inventive, though. I know it's hard to look at things objectively when you're worried like that. |

I have no idea, let's keep talking
It'll go away when I either hear from my friend or from this guest. but who knows when that will happen.

Ok I am edging away from the not real-ness
Friend, you better be ok. Maybe you are just teaching. Maybe you have a gig. Even though we were supposed to be meeting this afternoon. Maybe our definitions of afternoon are different. Airbnb guest, maybe you SUCK

But I have next to no work in the summer. So the other choice is to get a cafe or retail job that I know from experience I can't handle due to various mental things. Or get evicted and starve. But I've never had a genuinely creepy-awful person stay with me. A lot of people are rude and don't realize that this is my private home and not a hotel (like the guy yesterday who used a new washcloth every time he went into the bathroom and would leave it crumpled in the middle of the floor)

Aw there was one guy I LOVED. Visited for a few days from Brazil, an architecture student. We hit it off immediately, cooked meals for each other, went on little tourist adventures together. I drove him to Walden Pond and he told me Walter Gropius' house was nearby and we went to see it and I could go on and on, I still think of him.
Then there was the crazy woman who talked at me for 3-4 hours every night about her problems. She was nice, though. I liked her and she tipped me $200

Hihi. The Brazil-Guy sounds like good company. And I like the tip the woman gave
I'm hanging around at the webpage of the local crisis center... With no intend to actually call them because I hate calling. They really need to offer chats or something... I'm sure as hell that I'm not the only possible patient struggeling with phone calls...
