Couch 232: Not Sully!

This is true.

Of course, shortly after I posted, I critiqued one that was really brilliant,



There is hope for the younger generation after all.

Disney fairytales are too dark for me and too misogynistic. I cannot abide the Grimm etc ones. Those are terrifyingly horrible and misogynistic. I like fairytales that are happy at the beginning, happy in the middle, and happy at them end. A happy sandwich as it were.

So you don’t like fairytales, period?

Pretty much.
I am not good with frightening - they give me nightmares

I hate stories where they just wait to be Saved. Boring!

If you've used a crisis support/de-escalation service - did you tell your T about it the first time, or if there were subsequent times?

I've just reached out to a text service for the first time. It feels...odd.

I've contacted a crisis line multiple times. Each time I tell L about it. It's part of my crisis plan to call them if L is unavailable.

Usually I tell my therapist if I’ve used crisis supports. Typically if I’m still in some semblance of a crisis. Though not always. It’s just very situation dependent.

I hope everyone is well~

Psst, una, better start using those apostrophes!

Missing Apostrophe in Facebook Post May Cost a Man in Defamation Case - The New York Times

I love where the judge goes all oscar wilde earnest on the guy's arse!

With instagram i always thought you followed someone and got new posts in your feed every time they posted but no i just clicked on a page and saw that i have not seen at least 8 posts from this page which i really love. How do you get every post without going through the dozen or so accounts you follow. Its kind of like fb which i hate as i have missed several important posts from a page that i follow and have not been notified of the AGM

Imdont understand the internet!

I also finished Totoro who is upside down again

That's really cool, BCM!

I think FB and Instagram decide what you 'want to see' based on posts that you interact with. It might be worth going through and liking a few posts on the pages and IG profiles you want to see more of.

I've run into the same problem a few times.

I dont really interact with posts i just look. I will try to like more posts then

I was going to say the same--well, I don't use Instagram that much, but I know Facebook it's related to what posts you interact with (which could just be clicking "like"). Also, if it's a group, you can go into the options for the group and choose to be notified of "all posts" rather than just important or popular ones (I'd tell you where to find that, but Facebook keeps changing where things are!)

You can also choose a certain number of people and groups to classify as "important," and you'll see their posts first.

Nervous for my T appointment today. With Individual IOP T.


First, I wish she would just TELL ME if she is going to continue to see me after IOP or not. I feel like I am hanging by a thread. I really like her and I think I could learn a lot from her and heal with her but I don't like feeling strung along. If I lose her I will be really sad, crushed really, and I will be upset and will probably SH over it. She might know that which is probably why she is not telling me but it is really frustrating.

Second, I didn't really understand what she was talking about on Friday. About taking care of my own emotional needs. Heck, do I even know what my own emotional needs are? I feel truly lost.

Third, I don't know, we might discuss the shame I felt in showing her the SH scars. I thought we would discuss it on Friday and I probably would have brought it up but the conversation went a totally other way than I had anticipated. In her email she said she loved that I brought it up in email but she would like me to bring it up in session. So IDK if we are going to discuss it today or not. The shame isn't as unbearable as it was on Friday. So now it seems moot. It might still be profitable to be brought up though.


HUGS to anyone who wants, Kit

Individual IOP T said she isn't going to continue to see me after IOP because of the hallucinations, the self harm, the past Sui attempts, I'm high risk and she says I am outside her scope of competence. But she's competent enough to see me while I am in program. Such bull.

I expected that IOP T wasn't going to continue to see me but I'm still hurt. She's like, It's not a rejection. Yes it is.

Oh, Kit.

That really sucks. I'm sorry you're having to go through that.
How long is your IOP program scheduled to last?

HUGS
