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 cancelled my upcoming sessions with R before his break. I just feel exhausted and don't want to go.

I'm sorry you feel exhausted. Breaks can be good, and doing what you need to do for you is also good.

Thanks for the new couch, Cake.
I couldn't think of anything fancy to do with the number 217.  OoTP is my second favourite Harry Potter book.

Just had our weekly family zoom call. it was fun, my one sister usually only shows her forehead for some reason and she was late today, so before she got on we all adjusted our cameras so only our foreheads were showing. we laughed about it for 15 minutes before she finally came on and she was all "VERY FUNNY" haha!!

Hey new couch! Last day of the long weekend and I haven't done anything productive. Feel blah and exhausted and have zero motivation. Hopefully a good night's sleep will help. Hope you all are well!

Son and girlfriend just left a little bit ago. The restaurant they did pickup at was closed yesterday oops, so we did dinner tonite instead. It was so great to see them, and sit and talk over dinner! We ate out on the patio and sat on opposite sides so we could stay safely apart yet still be able to talk. It was really fun. I miss my boy so much!! That was just the medicine my soul needed.

Lololol I was contemplating emailing my T because I’m really suicidal. Instead I check my email and he’s just told me he needs to reschedule our appointment tomorrow because he has a scheduling conflict. I can’t meet at the other time he offered because i have a work meeting at that time.

 Can you ask him for a call today instead? Do you have a crisis plan in place? Are you safe now? __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart. Feel the thrill of the flow And say nothing."

Hugs. Could you say it's urgent? Maybe he could find a slot for you. Or as suggested, could you take a sick day? Hugs... |

I’m safe right now, my husband actually emailed my T for me and he’s going to call me in a few hours. I think he might be able to fit me in tomorrow at a different time that works for both of us. I followed my crisis plan, which includes texting the crisis line and/or talking to my husband. I had a huge panic attack and was trying to hurt myself and my husband had to stop me. I’ve never tried to do that in front of him before, I feel really bad. |

That is a pain, Summertime. How important is this work meeting? Are you able to take sick leave, just this once?
It sounds as if it's really important that you touch base with your T at the moment. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |
