I wrote about how much I hated my family and want to die and there is even a list of "People who have ditched me" and it's 2 pages of names.

I was just wondering, is this the sort of thing you would share with T? I have blocked out most of my past and honestly without stuff like this to read, I don't recall much. However, I am unsure of how much this sort of thing would help therapy at all and how much of it should I share? Any thoughts?

If you think it would be helpful to share some of it then I would.

Idk. I never know. I'm terrible at therapy, especially anything too serious. I likely won't share it. I already feel like I'm wasting his time with my nonsense lol. Was interesting to read anyway

Knowing una’s Freudian leanings, that’s probably what she meant!

ETA: darn, proclivities would have been better than leanings.

This video gave me a much needed smile just now.

Watch these panda twins gnaw on bamboo at their joint birthday party

That would be a great meme Freud's head on Fred's body

That is darling.

And the fruit is so pretty! I love that they put so much effort into making the birthday food into flowers and numbers and so forth.

I'm feeling so much back to myself today. Thanks for putting up with me this week y'all. I was really 'in the soup' most of it....

Just want to whine a bit. I feel crappy today and un-cared about and unloved. Maybe unloveable. But I know these are just thoughts and it doesn't reflect reality. Just sometimes it can feel that way even if it isn't that way. So I'm trying to breathe, and correct my thinking, and get distracted--which you think would be easy to do at work, but today for whatever reason, it's not. I have a meeting coming up in an hour so that might help. Not sure where these feelings are coming from but I wish they would go away already!

(((SlumberKitty)) I'm sorry you're feeling that way. It's so hard to see reality when we're 'in it'.

I wish I knew the answer. It took me all week and a super-deep session w t yesterday evening for me to get back to myself after being 'in it' all week. I told my friend at work this morning that I was feeling my normal sparkly self again and that I'd missed me all week. I don't know where I went but I don't like it when it happens...

thanks CE!

sigma = (x2 - x1) / (z2 - z1) = (87 - 57) / (1.25 - (-0.25)) = (87 - 57) / (1.25 + 0.25)= 30 / 1.5 = 20

Tomorrow we are having a tea party (baby shower) for an acquaintance at my house. I'm not super big on social events. Especially when I don't know the people all that well. Okay, okay. I'm not that excited about it even when I do know the people. I'm happy about the tea party though because who doesn't like a tea party? Plus I spent about $65 on some really fancy nice tea from Amazon. But being that I feel like crap today, it really makes me not look forward to this tomorrow (so I have conflicted feelings). I really need to just suck it up, stop feeling un-cared about. Stop feeling bad about myself. Stop feeling all this anxiety over tomorrow. And act like a grown up. It's a tall order.

I'm supposed to go to a wedding tmrw for one of my med school friends. But it's a 2hr drive away and I am just so not up for socializing right now (especially not with ppl I haven't seen in forever). Buuuut... Socializing Appropriately With Peers Is Good For You.

What to do???

Right I said that I thought haha

The office is SO loud today. I can't wait for my work at home to start!!! Even when h is home between jobs watching tv won't be as distracting as this cuz I can shut my office door...

Soon Artie, soon!

Oct 05, 2018, 05:42 PM

I have 11 homework problem with 2-4 parts on each one plus my 40 problem exam to do this weekend... I guess I won't have much time for therapy ruminations and this is a good thing. I think I need to start leaving it in t's office and quit bringing it home with me....

I know what it's like to not be up to socializing because that's how I always am. I do usually find that once I go and stuff I usually have a good time. So I would encourage you to go.
