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.

...cuz there are 198 countries on the planet?
Grab a cushion, a spot on the floor, or an armchair in the corner and make yourselves comfy!
Thanks for this!

I emailed a private therapist for my son and talked to him today on the phone for a bit. From the 10 minute conversation he seems very nice and also does family therapy along individual therapy with kids. Problem is he said he only works Tues/Thurs and has 1 ongoing appointment slot in Tues @ 4. Which is the exact time I see my T. I don't think my T has other times on Tuesdays I can see him, and I'm not about to drop Tuesdays when he already dropped Fridays right now. I feel like a selfish mother. I'll ask T if he has other times on Tuesdays and explain the situation but I can not go down to 3x a week right now.

Oh and 1 time seeing this Ts picture and talking to him and I go have a dream about him. Nothing inappropriate. He was at our house meeting my son, and saw me fall and hurt myself. He was getting into his car to leave but got out, asked if I was okay and gave me a hug. Such a weird dream for me.

My fuse is very short today, and growing shorter by the moment. I just want to be able to relax.

I am a whole couch behind here but... I am glad things went so well Artie! Maybe you just need to schedule on an as needed basis? And, I’m no good with ages but around here you don’t look a day over 27

I am being driven crazy by a sous vide/smoking (meat) forum I am part of - there are some posters who, for some unknown reason, write things like "sammiches" and "tummy tumtumtum" and so on - these are adults. Is it that much harder to just write sandwich and not try to be cute or whatever reason would prompt someone over the age of 5 to write like that.
They have some good info and tips once one has waded through the garbage writing.

Eta - That would be a typical joke of his, to say, "well, thats the FIRST thing we've done around here {adverbally}", after the guest or George used a strange word.

Thank you! (re: my session) yeah... I think that arrangement would be good at this point.

And thank you, I surely don't feel 57!
