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.

I think I over-scheduled my day today... coffee with a med school friend, lunch with a residency friend, second date with this guy who beat me at scrabble on the first date (so a strong contender!), first date with some rando from a dating app. Just writing this down makes my lil introverted heart cringe.

Also an introvert, and that made me tired just reading about it! Hope the dates go well!

Have fun Chiro!
I normally just stick with one thing at a time and even that can be too much sometimes. Where are you guys going? I'm getting ice skating vibes (might be coming from me not sure). __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart. Feel the thrill of the flow And say nothing." |

Oh, definitely.
I went to work today, and had a wonderful workshop. I come home, and I'm having a hard time.

You've been dealing with a lot recently. In work situations you just have to get on with it. Home just being you and it's less structured/open. __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart. Feel the thrill of the flow And say nothing." |

I am staying in a hotel this weekend, visiting older d.
The coffee is not terrible. It’s enough not-terrible that I have not yet google mapped coffee shops near me. I can’t quite wrap my head around this. It’s even a budget hotel! One of my most deeply held biases has been challenged. Not quite sure how to handle the dissonance. __________________ Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by accidents of time, or place, or circumstance, are brought into closer connection with you.

I woke up to an email from my therapist checking in after our Thursday session where I ended up way out of my comfort zone. That was really nice to receive. I responded that I'm not sure how I'm supposed to come to session on Monday because I'm still feeling a lot of shame and I don't want to be seen by him. I don't know how to face him again. He has successfully infiltrated my carefully constructed armor and he's feeling that's a good thing, but I'm left feeling completely exposed and vulnerable.

That's really brave, NP. I'm glad you were able to be so open with him. I think he will appreciate it.

In my email response this morning, I ended up telling him a couple of other things regarding this topic and I'm seriously regretting doing that right now. I'm already feeling vulnerable; why did I have to open up even more?? I've got a real push-pull thing going on at the moment. I even said I was feeling clingy towards him. I hope he's okay I shared that with him. |

The waffle station is always my favorite too. Peanut butter and syrup is my favorite. When I had to stay in a hotel for a month while they were fixing my house, I was thinking "awesome, a whole month of waffles!". I got tired of the waffles real quick, though.
