Couch 200: The Bicentennial Couch.

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!

Name from @@ & CE.

My job is done!

Gonna get back to work now

.

Oh!!! It's here it's here it's here!! Woo hoo! On to walking....

Back from my walk. 1.09 miles woohoo! Every day I'm adding back in a little more distance. Getting my mojo back.

Happy 200 everyone!

Thanks for creating the couch. Happy 200th!

That's awesome! I really need to walk more. I usually get less than 3000 steps a day.

Yay for 200!!! I may not be very active anymore. however, the couch was a important part of my support system as I was just starting therapy years ago.. couchies really encouraged me!

Same and made many great friends here ❤️

I just went back and read the first one. The majority of the people are gone now.

I see that ... some are here under new names, others I’m not sure what happened ... I often wonder about Granite & Wikidpish & Murray - some of the others I’m friends with on FB now. Always miss stopdog too

Ive been snoozin thru all the hoopla! It finally cooled off and humidity dropped here. Lola you left quite a legacy! Hows the pup you found?

She’s great and still with me - I’ve had 2 dogs die over the last 2 years and inherited 2 more .. so I’m at 3 for the record 😂

Granite drops a post every once in awhile but I haven’t seen her in a few months now. Wiki- I haven’t seen in awhile.

Granite was in FB for awhile .. but haven’t seen her in some time ... Wiki was sick again the last time she posted and then never heard from her again. I wish I knew what happened to her

Thanks for your legacy, Lola. It's awesome 200k+ posts in 7 years.

Yes, thanks for creating this! It's been a great place for support (and laughs) for me, too.

Did another painting event this afternoon to get my mind off of T stuff and other stress.

Hm, can't get it to post not sideways, even when pic is oriented differently. The colorful part is the top, supposed to be sort of an Impressionist sunset over the ocean.

To me it shows upright. I thought it was a volcano, but I might have affected by reading that it was done to destress.

Thats gorgeous!

Aw, thanks, Una!

Hm, are you on Tapatalk or your phone? Maybe it shows up differently there. (I'm on laptop.) And I can see the volcano, too. It did help get some of my emotions out. I tried to paint what I felt, while following the instructor's general guidelines.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask... should a t have an opinion on what you say? For example I told my t some stuff and I described it as normal but they said that it didn’t sound normal and was abuse. I was a bit taken aback and wasn’t sure if it’s normal for a t to share an opinion like that?
