Couch 155: The International Operator

I see therapy like going to the gym. It's something you do on a regular basis to maintain your mental health.

"Dear Student:
Fall break is three days.
You miss my lectures at your peril.
Have fun!"

You can have a sparse matrix or a spare mattress. But a sparse mattress?

((Anais))

Looking for work and looking for love are two of the most depressing things one can do.

I would like to share some of my art with you all, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to make an album that is visible only to members of the forum, rather than public. Can someone explain?

Uh well... uh... see that happens when you do too much math.

Hi all

I'm sorry I don't read or post much. But maybe you're glad about that

Anyway reading about therapy and therapists distresses me these days. I guess because of the situation with my T the past few months. I'm not gone forever (ya that's a threat)

Anyone can PM me if they want to chat

When I don't have enough work to do, every task becomes a worry and a panic.

I see BLATANT permission to skip class here!

This is my interpretation as well

((((anais))))

I like that comparison!

I think it's somewhat misleading that it calls it "public" - as far as I'm aware non-members cannot view member profiles and so I assume also cannot access albums. So any album you create as "public" will only be viewable by other members.

Edit: I'm not 100% sure of this. You could check by logging out and seeing if you can access it - maybe put a test image up first.

if i posted any articles like these online so my friends could see--i'd have a million worried phone calls and texts. if your friends reply like they do, they aren't friends.

I wish I knew enough people that would do that

Just checked my grades for psych class and see I got full credit for my Unit 2 written assignment and my discussion posts. Woo! Now diving into chapter 9 section 2, "Language and Thought". It's a pretty long section.

Psychology is SO much more fascinating this time around, though. It bored me silly the first time I took it in the early 80's.

I hate all those people who think its sooo easy to pick up a phone and make a call. Phooey to you.

I'd like to declare that I absolutely love my boss.

If I was remotely straight, I'd go all out to marry him and have his babies.

Actually, even otherwise, I'd strongly consider doing it.

He just defended me and my work -- yet again and rather superbly -- to yet another monumentally stupid higher-up, who it seemed couldn't begin to add 1 + 2 + 3 to save her life.

It's such an odd odd odd experience for me to have someone defend me and the quality of my work -- I've had lots of people lots of times tell me privately that they think I'm getting screwed over but almost never have I had the experience of someone standing up to others for it (and not because they particularly care about me but because they believe in the work).

Sorry, I'm gushing about this but work's been truly stressful because of absolute batshit-crazy mind-numbing nonsense (the level of the problems -- I kid you not -- has been to the point of getting people to agree about the difference between imagination and reality) and I've spent the last two therapy sessions pretty much going non-stop and almost till I'm out-of-breath, cribbing to current T on how work is (I've almost never done that about work in my entire life so far, really).

You have absolute freedom to experience the consequences of your actions.

"I can present the material, but you have to find your own reason to study it."

I'll come and visit you in prison. If there's nothing better on TV that day.

I.am.so.cold.I.cannot.get.warm

I have all my fuzziest things on, have tea and soaked my feet and am curled around a heating pad under the biggest fluffiest blankets I have. No dice. Radiator is an icy-cold lump. My fingernails are purple.

But then, it ought to be just another week or so until it's permanently on until May and heating my room to somewhere between 85° and 90°, and then I'll miss these icicle times very much.

I think they are friends...
They just don't take it seriously.

Want to borrow my owl onesie?

It’s like a furnace in there after a minute or two.

would i would i oh boy oh boy

Trying to decide if blood in urine is serious enough to talk with doctors or not

Maybe they will tell me That I'm just imagining it. Lol.

I didn't go to a doctor. I had blood in urine and problems with peeing and suffered from pain. But I told nobody and just suffered. Lol.

It's a bad advice. Go to a doctor please...

Sorry you felt it necessary to di that you don't deserve pain
