Couch 183: Stroopwafel salted caramel.

How far are you willing to travel ?

I googled and found a few art therapy courses online too.

Thank you.

I'd be willing to go up to 40 minutes one way.

Oh cool, I will have to Google that too then, thank you.

Thanks Lemoncake. This friend is many years older than me, so she kind of looks down on me for being millennial, and she has her PhD and I only have my masters so she kind of looks down on me for that too. I usually just let her comments roll off my back but sometimes my feelings get hurt and I have trouble letting it go. There are times when I enjoy our friendship but there are times when I need a break so I probably won't get together with her too much this month. It's time for a break. Kit.

I see R on skype at 5pm.

He didn't call me today. I skype called him back twice.

He hasn't replied to my emails since the 20th.

So I guess we're over.

EDIT:

I called him crying and he picked up.

"R: You said you quit.

S:I always say that.

R:I'm sorry you expected to see me. I will write to you"

If you just think of her, generally would she have a giant plus sign or a negative floating over her head? You need to surround yourself with those that lift you up instead of those dragging you down even if it's for small periods of time their negatively will also affect you. Life is so much better without drama. Having a masters is still a pretty big thing. PhD's may look fancy but they're not everything.

That's a good question Lemoncake. I think generally it's a negative sign. I never thought of it that way. Thank you. Kit.

I get that I'm hot and cold with him, which can confuse anyone.

I'm going to mope about for a bit more, try not to hurt myself and try to get on with some school work.

It's just if you told her how you really felt and how much it hurt you do you really think she would try to change and make it up to you? It's a full time job trying to change yourself let alone other people. A gradual fade out might be best. Don't make yourself available for when she wants to hang out. Take much longer to reply back to any messages/ say you have plans etc.

Art-how’s therapy been going?

It's been going well, thanks for asking. Haven't really felt the need to talk about it for whatever reason. But it's good.

Still trying to get caught up with everybody here!

Two things:

1. its been requested that we dont use (((parens))) to hug anymore on PC, see recent discussion in Community & Technical Feedback for more info, thanks.

2. Re lemon - i think this is what my t did too. Once he got a sniff of me just not being as committed as i used to be - once i started cancelling sessions, which was TOTALLY unlike me, for WHATEVER reason - he just called me on my behavior. He did not enter into a folie à deux with me. No games, conscious or otherwise. He straight out told me, "i dont know what this is, but it's not therapy anymore." So. Harsh!

ETA - Actually 3 - not calling you out, artie, just using your post. Sorry! so glad to have you back!

Plus i will beat her up if you want me too.

Can't find the thread to which you're referring, una. Can you give me a hand?

Antisemitic slurs

Here ya go!

omg i'm sorry. i did not realize. thank you.

Wow...now I'm informed and appalled at the same time.

wow-i had no clue.

Una you should totally have your name in green by now.

I had NO idea of this and am deeply sorry if I offended anyone.

Political correctness run amok.
I have to walk away from this sort of insane pointlessly inane **** at my university all the time.
And let's take all the meany stuff out of novels and plays and history as well.

I should have stayed away.

No artie, you didn't do anything wrong.

I hadn't heard of this until una said so.
