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 and make yourselves comfy!

Aren’t Harley Quinn and Hugo Strange psychiatrists?

ETA: are there any superheroes who are therapists, or is it just supervillains? If so, I think we’re on to something here...

ETAA: oh, and the Scarecrow. The world of Batman is apparently hostile to mental health professionals.

ETAA: oh, and superhero therapy is apparently a thing.

Batgirl had a good therapist for her PTSD in the new 52 storyline!

Hello! Checking in.. been a stressful day, you know because I braved Target and took my kids school supply shopping. Soooo stressful and expensive. Though I did save $20 bucks off my total. Thankfully kids wear uniforms to school so not much in the way of clothes will need to be bought and I will do those one on one.

Also, I saw T yesterday.. I will see him again in two weeks, then I go to once a month. In 7 years of therapy I have never had that much time in between appointments. I think I am ready... starting to think about a timeline for terminating. It’s scary but feels good.

Convinced H not to go to the hospital last night. When he was at the hospital 2 days ago, the doctor told him to chill out and go spend some time in the sun. The psych people didn't do anything about his anxiety And they gave him a strong blood thinner so he's freaking out about that. But hey, I got a full night's sleep.

hope others are having a better night than i am right now grrr
if only it was hockey season at least i could be yelling at something else

Your H really needs a T, dang. I wish he'd listen to you.

Thanks, whisper.

I feel like hammered dog crap today, but have been roped into a social event. Pocket riders?

#20. I failed tonight. He thinks he's having intestinal bleeding from the blood thinner. I knew this would happen. I told the doctor and he didn't listen to me.

TMI:

Possible trigger:

He's okay to have sex, but is still dying? I don't understand.

I'd be really wary. He might progress to insisting "I'm dying and you won't have sex with me?"
