She helped a lot and I'm going to do my best to stick with it!! There's an optional field trip coming up next month to a nearby observatory, I'm planning on going.

Art if I was ever a teacher I'd love to have a student like you. congrats on passing the quiz! I'm very proud of all your hard work. It's your work effort I admire the most.

Have they been able to refer you to any?

For mine, I should add "uses lots of tissues."

Chronically depressed but with private insurance. Likely to get attached but unlikely to no-show. I like reading books about therapy and discussing psychology but will also get angry with you for little to no reason. I occasionally find myself asking astonishly personal questions without warning, but I won't be too upset if you side-step them. Willing to travel up to 15 miles, hoping for off-street parking. Therapists with an excessive number of throw pillows need not reply.

Borderline personality disorder. Clinical depression. Trauma. OCD traits from childhood. Talks in quotes. Likes poetry, books, nonsense words,GOT and war movies. Relatively unstable but very high functioning and able to fund sessions privately.

Pushes boundaries. Will occasionally turn up to sessions with cake and a birthday gift months in advance. Will be jealous of your family.Hate your other clients. Will find everything I can about you online ( including googling your mother and your practices filling history.) but will love you intensely.

Therapy with me will be rewarding, but progress will be slow and make you question why you chose to work with me in the first place.

I saw R today he was weird:

"Okay princess say goodbye" .

For context we were talking about disneyland Paris, princesses and disney in general. I didn't say goodbye and waited for him to hang up.

On those rare times when I cry, I use my sleeve LOL....

Tuesday T hasn't replied to my reschedule email. I'm not freaking out, I know he will, I'm just wondering if I'll be able to get in again before surgery. Stupid winter weather

On the plus side, I got the monday thing set to go and I called about the guy yesterday and had my file closed.

Possibly one agency, I have to get a psych eval before they will talk to me.

Isn’t erotic transference enough of a problem already?

@susannahsays we are weary and wary of people misspelling words online. While we are grateful for this opportunity to communicate, we are not greatful for how it accustoms us to mispellings.

I googled but Ooooo Una. I never knew that you liked the feel of the ocean, the taste of champagne, making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.

Is just bit just sex on the beach?

I haven't watched full episodes in ages. I used to look forward to the Simpsons be jealous of my cousins who had sky.

SlumberKitty · Feb 05, 2019, 01:14 PM

I've never been a Simpsons watcher. My parents banned it when I was a kid and so therefore, never got in the habit.

This is OBVIOUSLY about worrying about your nieces.

cheese into water = venice = california etc.

LOL the point of the song is that the only person that responds is the person they are already with!

The song was explained in the comments! I liked that though what you're looking for is already in front of you.

So the questions is will you meet me at O'Malley's ?

LostOnTheTrail · Feb 05, 2019, 01:31 PM

Hey, Lemon.

You can now tag people in posts.

Lemoncake · Feb 05, 2019, 01:36 PM

What kind of cheese was it- soft or hard? But maybe the cheese in water is saying something about things not mixing well or you're hungry and want comfort?

Homes are the one place where we're supposed to feel safe, and I think it's important you're at info's place. But the unannounced women- people being intrusive and getting in your space (I remember the issue with ex).

Well, they do say that cheese is thicker than water.

I dunno, I think just regular cheddar.

SlumberKitty · Feb 05, 2019, 01:42 PM

@Lemoncake now you should show mentioned in 1 post

LonesomeTonight · Feb 05, 2019, 01:43 PM

I've now heard back from like 5 (well, 6, but she had no availability) of the T's I've contacted. Now I need to figure out whether to send them more info about what I'm looking for, whether to go ahead and schedule with one, wait to see if a couple others reply (one seemed like a particularly good fit), or what. Hm, wonder if any are willing to talk on phone briefly?
