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! Named in honour of Artie's awesome pictures on the couch 184. |

I want to play the Festivus game with my kids. I am going to write EGREGIOUS FARTING and FEET on their Post-Its.
They'd probably just laugh. And fart. Rotten kids. Good thing they're pretty decent humans.

I told him to make sure he gets all his stuff. That if he’s leaving-my house isn’t going to be his own personal storage unit-that he will need to get everything out. Including his dog.
He didn’t come to the vet yesterday and that was before the blow up. I brought my dog home but she has become resistant to all treatments and her organs are slowly shutting down one by one. The vet said to bring her back right after Christmas because it would be much worse if I come home and find her... (he’s right) I came home and H and I got into a blow up first about how he didn’t come to the vet. Then that just snow balled into other things. Okay. I can’t breathe. I can’t type anymore about it now. I want to tell you guys the whole thing. When I can hold it together for more than 2 minutes at a time. |

I'm so sorry Jersey, especially this time of year, makes this all worse. I hate the news about your dog, that's so awful. I hope she is around for Christmas and you can try to make it special for her last one.
I am sorry your H left.... I can understand the stress involved there. Take some time for yourself and do all you can to enjoy the last days with your dog. Message me any time

The tree is down and put away. No signs of Christmas around here except for the presents that I have to take to my parents house-which I’ll do tomorrow.

I'm so sorry, Jersey. Remember this isn't all your fault and that there's people at least here to talk to. I hope this works out for you somehow, whatever that means in the end.
I arrived at my parent's home for Christmas. We're celebrating today since they'll be gone on the 25th to go to the US. I managed to already smuggle their liquor to my glass without them noticing. At least if they are annoying I won't notice. |

A little bit of a silly story to maybe make some of you smile.
Yesterday my mom dropped her dog off a bit while she finished shopping. I let her open a present, she knows how to do her own.. and she was going nuts. Had so much fun. So then, today my whole family is going to the family holiday party but me (I'm dog sitting) and mom originally told me to come whenever, her dog could be alone a while if need be. She just called me "You gotta get here before we leave at 10, she keeps going under the tree and scratching the gifts, she needs to be watched now" LOL I feel like I got her addicted, whoops. Anyway so that's my day, watching that little turkey and making sure she doesn't get into anymore gifts.

That's one switched on dog, DP. Very smart.
