It's all-all part of "the work" I suppose. Hugs


In fairness though and this isn't going to paint me in a good light but I have been acting out and skipping sessions. The two weeks before and mainly since examination period started I have also been spamming his inbox. Multiple cancelling sessions, then asking for the session back, then again cancelling and asking for the session again. It was 5 emails then something similar the week before.

He did apologize for snapping at me and did previously suggest going up to 3 sessions but I haven't taken him up on his offer yet. I'm very good at being rational and logical online but not exactly quite there yet myself.

Breathing and remembering yesterday's lesson from the universe about not worrying and just deal with it whatever happens. Worse case I guess they have to stay there. I dunno.
We have these centers in the UK called citizens advice where you can get free help with stuff like housing and benefits- maybe you have something similar?

Thanks. I think they're ok, they just got back and said it went well and they are out of there effective 7/31/19. They have to pay July's rent, and then an additional month. by 7/31. h and i agreed they can stay here but we are going to put a time limit on it and if they stay beyond that we will charge them rent.

They told me just now that the turnover is really big there, they'll see people for a month and then they disappear and someone else moves in all.the.time. they're going to look for a better place and pay a little more rent.

I'm glad they've got a solution. Now we know the reason for the high turnover!

Perhaps just go over ground rules with them with regards to cleaning and stuff. If they're not paying rent maybe they could cook for you once a week or something?

Yes, good idea about the ground rules. And I can start doing my laundry while they're both at work since I work at home.

Omg mee too. I watched it in the cinema and literally left feeling empowered. I wanted to be strong like her, both physically and mentally.

I also spend a lot of time on another huge forum. I learn most of my "wisdom" from there.

Why don't you try 3 sessions and see if it makes a difference for you? You can always go back to two if it's not working for you.

I am making chicken enchiladas for dinner.

This is mainly because I got some gf corn tortillas from TJ’s to use as sandwich wraps and it did not work out and now I need something to do with the tortillas.

I fully understand why she couldnt carry on EMDR with me but I'm mildly insulted that my problems are "too much" for people. Why am I so ashamed,?

Can I get a Sheldon Cooper “There There”. Or a pat on the shoulder? Or if your into hugs that’s okay too. I saw that the people who hired me were logged on to care.com this week. They don’t have an active job posted, but they have a profile and their last login stat states they were logged in this past week. And I just don’t know what to think of that. My boss said it probably doesn’t mean anything that they were logged on, but I don’t know that.

Sorry for the spam but I guess I should add I don't know if I can really like anyone who would charge $$$ just to refer someone out. I really don't get that. I'm kinda glad this emergency came up and cancelled the appointment next week.
