Good for her—Info’s not even evincing any concern about losing pieces of paper with my name and address and bank info on them. She just wants her money.

Next time I lecture on Ancient Greek history I’m going to suggest the city-states fell because of a national autonomous complex. It works!

Good luck, MP!

I think there's a lot of autonomous complexes underlying almost all of the political argument nonsense that's all over facebook these days... at least, that's all over my facebook feed...

ArtieTheSequal · Mar 07, 2021 at 06:39 PM

... which I suppose, I should take heart, that I'm clearly not the only one who has them.

Daffydungle · Mar 07, 2021 at 07:53 PM

I dont think i have the courage to do therapy to be that vulnerable. I have tried.

I hope it goes well, Mobius, and that you have a relatively easy recovery.

I just got myself in gear enough to send my story off again after the last rejection two days ago. After I sent it, I realized it was to the journal that two years ago rejected another story of mine (that was published elsewhere) within 5 hours.

At least I’ll get a quick response.

Daffydungle · Mar 08, 2021 at 01:26 AM

Ok i have nade an appointment with the first T saw after exT let me go. I saw him twice and because i was depressed i dont think inwas thinking straight but today i sat and thought about the 3 Ts i hve seen since i think he is a better fit so i will give him a go privately first and then get my 10 free sessions. .

It's okay. There is no set rule that says you have to be in therapy. There's lots of other alternatives.

Lemoncake · Mar 08, 2021 at 05:31 AM

I came back from the office. She said to just send an email to her which I did whilst I was still in the hospital. She didn't make me write anything else. It's not on the system yet though.

Lemoncake · 07:52 AM

Watching you've got mail.

“The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino."

ArtieTheSequal · Mar 08, 2021 at 07:52 AM

Oh that was funny. I'm sitting here tired getting ready to start work so looked for the 'yawn' emoji and once I found it, and saw it yawn, it made me yawn again! haha!

Happy Monday, couchies. Happy, glittery sparkles and hugs to those who want.

I didn't even know this one existed.

Hope you have an easy shift. When you're done could you bake us some brownies please?

SlumberKitty · Mar 08, 2021 at 02:26 PM

Possible trigger:

feeling suicidal. Not sure why. Just am. Out of nowhere. Sigh.

Debating about texting T to let her know but I don't have any plans, just thoughts. So that seems like a waste. Ugh. I don't know.

I always find that still a hard place to be in.

I don't think it would be a waste to message her.

Could you also message those two support contacts from church?

Are you at work or at home?

I'm at work.

Maybe I will message my support people first and see if they will be helpful for me. If not I can always text T later. I kind of forgot about my support people even though I texted them a few days ago (things were going well then). I get like tunnel vision where I forget my safety plan. Thanks Lemon

I've seen some people on youtube also make crisis boxes and it could be helpful to have a reminder list. Here's a link for what you could include.

How much longer till you can go home?

Do you also let your parents know when you're not well?

Thanks Lemon.

I can go home in 3.5 hours. I texted two of my support people and they both texted me back right away. So it's helpful to know I'm not alone in this. Yeah, I will call my parents on my lunch break which is coming up in a few minutes and let them know I'm feeling unwell. If the weather holds I will plan to take a walk with my Mom when I get home. Being out in nature might be soothing.
