Couch 188: Who needs those people, anyway?

I rang the insurance company so they could arrange my payout and then they said they were ringing a towing company and it will be towed today or tomorrow. I am not ready to say good bye to my car, even though it was a heap of ****. I hope the money is there tomorrow and my new car i ready to be picked up tomorrow so everything is good for back to school on Tuesday

H is out Lyft'ing. He probably assumes I'm cleaning the house for the realtor tomorrow. I have no energy. He's probably going to be mad at me when he comes home.

Btw...we can't give my new car back. I don't like it anymore. It's tainted with bad energy.

O.M.G.! H is thinking of selling his Tesla! I leased a Hyundai Ioniq base model, and he's given me permission to finally enjoy it. He's looking to also get an Ioniq, but he wants the limited model... But if we do trade in his car, we might be able to get cash which will help a lot.

Tonight, there's no stress. There's no panic. I think I'll rest well.

This shoulder pain is such bs. Been up for hours because of it. Have an appointment with my PA today. Worried she's going to say it's rotor cuff impingement and I have to drop PE. And looks like treatment would be a pain, too. What a hassle. I hate my body.

I've noticed that I have become increasingly needy towards my sister. I text her all the time with all my little woes. She hasn't been very responsive lately. When she doesn't respond, I sometimes make a comment that it's like I'm talking to myself or that she doesn't care about x. After Christmas, I really wanted her to come stay with me, and mercilessly attempted to guilt her into doing so. I told her my dog cried himself to sleep because she didn't come and stuff like that. I don't know why I'm acting like this. And I keep thinking that when I graduate, she better abandon her roommates and live with me instead. Forever. I feel jealous of her roommates. I hate them. It almost seems like I feel about my sister the way many people here feel about their therapists.

Right now I want to text my sister a plaintive rebuke that she doesn't care about my broken shoulders. I feel like a narcissist.

Maybe this is a good therapy topic?

Also just because one has the urge to do something... email T or text family etc doesn't mean they have to. It's growth when you can fight that urge.

Maybe talk to her about this issue as well? My friend is similar, granted I don't text her tons but she has these times where she just spaces out and avoids all people contact.... and sometimes I can text about 4 days in a row, even just one text a day and she ignores them all.... it sucks but I know it's her mood, so it's something I've learned to deal with.

Well, I did text her to prompt her to text our dad to ask him if he made an appointment to get the thing up his butt* checked out. It bothered him when I phrased it that way the other day, so I want to make sure my sister asks him the same thing using those words.

I hope your eyes adjust soon. Headaches suck! Kit

I hope the appointment with the PA lets you know what's going on with your shoulders. I'm sorry you're in pain. I hope it eases up soon. Kit

I’m not in a good mood today. I’m in rather foul mood. I think my boss sensed that this morning. It’s not good to be a foul mood when your taking care of someone’s kids. Of course they are safe and I would never do anything to put them in harms way. I would jump in front of a bus for them, but I can’t shake this this foul mood today and my patience are a little on the short side today.

Hi Couchies, how is everybody today? I'm okay. Depressed like normal, but okay. Uni guy is supposed to call today at 12, we will see if he does. All I wanted was info on the school and now I'm having to talk to people. Ugh. I don't want to talk to people. I came to work an hour early today (and yesterday) so I can take the call on an extended lunch. Everybody is like, why are you here? I'm like, dude, I work here! Lol. Hope everybody is doing good today. Lots of HUGS to anyone who wants one! Kit

I hate talking to people too, LOL It's why I hate my cashier job but it's also good for me to force myself to do sometimes

I'm ok. Not the best... missing T tons today.

Thanks for the new couch Susan!

I'm doing okay. I have t tonight, have to figure out what to bring up. I do have some things bothering me but we've talked about these things already and I seem to have made no progress on them.

I used to do retail so it was constant talking to people. It helped me because I'm an introvert, and it really helped my social skills, but boy did it wear me out. At the end of the day I was like, no one talk to me. I'm sorry you are missing your T. I'm missing mine too. It's like, does this ever get better? Kit

88Butterfly88--I dislike that feeling in therapy when there's stuff that I've brought up before but feel stuck on and yet, because I'm stuck on them, I probably need to bring it up again, but then its frustrating when there feels like there is no progress on them. I hope your T appointment goes well! Kit

Some days I'm ok, then the reality of, what if he blows me off when I reach out in 2 yrs and it's NEVER again...... hits me and I'm back to being insanely depressed

I am shopping for a new vet, I'm in full regret of sharing what I did and since he can't even take 5 seconds to reply and at least say "Thanks for sharing" then hell with him and hell with sharing stuff in the future with people. Only my dog gets to know my personal feelings now

Hi Kit, am having a lazy day. Which means removing my self from my responsibilities with the aim of recharging. Or ignoring and avoidance. Currently on the sofa eating crisps (chips). I also sent my doc a vulnerable email so got the vulnerability hangover. One of those days but I've run out of being good energy.

Therapist retiring threads always fill me with dread. My T is 64 this year.

Thank you Kit. Yeah I will most likely bring it up again.

Maybe he's waiting until he has time to give an actual reply. I hope that's what it is. Or it could be that your email went to his junk folder, especially if it was a business address - this has happened to me (I was the recipient) and I didn't notice for years.

Edit: And I've never heard of anyone saying thanks for sharing except on this forum, but maybe that's just me.

Your therapist is active beyond treating clients though, yes? Seems like those stick around much longer. Think of Yalom!

I would not expect a reply from a vet unless I had asked a specific question. I don't think that just because one receives an email, that obligates one to respond if there is no real need to do so.
