Couch 174: Good Lord, Those People

Thanks Lemoncake! I will for sure share it with y'all!

LT, they need to assign you you’re own personal moderator when you start a thread.

Kind of like a mod you can just let know ahead of time:
LT: Hey, mod. Just want you to be aware I’m starting a new thread
MOD: Okay LT- I’m on it.

You'll be looking looking at them in a train station or airport someday. (I don't usually go to bus stops.)

Seriously! This is the second time recently that I've started a thread that's led to excessive debates and people getting upset with each other. Maybe I need to have someone else start my threads for me?

ETA: I should blame my T for this one--he's the one who said I should start a thread on this topic because he was curious as to what people would say! I should print it out and be like, "Here you go!"

You should show him. And tell him there’s more of where that came from!
Does he want to look at In Session Today or the DR T thread? 😂

The dream continues - an amazing friend got me a set list at last night's gig.

I think there's value in seeing different opinions, but it's easy to take things personally. Ho hum- now that I'm feeling better I hope I can work through it like Artie.

I have told him about some of those threads and that he can be a rather polarizing figure on here at times. He seemed both mystified and a bit amused.

I sometimes want to send R threads from here, but he would easily figure out who I was not that I don't share most stuff with him but I like the fact that I can have this place to myself.

I figure I could maybe print it out, then black out my name? Or PDF it and black out my name if I wanted to send it. Though he vowed before to never go looking on here (not that it would take him much to figure out who I am!)

I 'look' forward to it!

That's awesome!

Just like Marmite! You either love it or hate it- unless a T is doing things that sound like red flags to me- I try to not comment about leaving him/her because we don't have the full story.

I love the direction you're moving in right now with Dr.T.

I'd be afraid to show t threads from here, I don't think she'd like them.

Why would you need to black out your name if he could just go on here after your session and search for the thread?

Oh that's smartz! Thank you for that idea. I would have sent him Echos vacation thread and some of the replies I get when I post about him.

Yay! You deserve nice surprises!

My T doesn’ speak English, so I can’t show him anything whether I’d want to or not.

T also considers this forum as part of my support system (which I agree with), while ex-MC kept saying he wished I wasn't on here.

That's a good point! And he's said he wouldn't go on here anyway or ever, like, search a client on Facebook or other social media.

Hey, LT--maybe we could edit the thread to reflect my circumstances and give it to Info and claim it's about her and me? Would she fall for that?

That would be an interesting experiment!

I copy and paste some of the nice stuff you guys have said about me on sticky notes on my laptop as well as responses to my ruptures.

I'm not sure where I would be if I didn't have you guys. I only spoke about the ET after seeing 2 other posters bring it up in session, which normalized it at the time even though I felt a lot of shame about it at the time.

Aww...that's nice to hear!

I know I'm naturally always soppy and sentimental, but I love you guys and I do mean that. It's always been the small things that add up for me.

(I'm not under the influence of any mind altering alcohol or drugs just rather hungry )
