I mean, humanoids have been making raptor noodle soup for colds since the dawn of fire. Yet Sheldon Cooper needed a reminder to offer a warm beverage? A hole in the evolutionary layer.

I'm sorry, Scarlet. Glad you didn't catch it though.

Thanks LT,

I've been keeping an eye on the cathedral website to see whether there would be a WSPD service this year.

They are, but it's the weekend after...and I don't return to in person with R until WSPD itself, by which point it will be too late to have a conversation about it.

I only know about WSPD because of Steve, and now he's gone, it takes on a whole new resonance. Given my new understanding, I don't think I'm in any state to go...

It really effing sucks that with R working virtually over the summer, I feel like I need three times as much support to feel supported at my usual level, if that makes sense.

Hugs, Lost. That does make sense.


Sounds like maybe it's best for you to skip the event this year? I'm sorry for how the timing has worked out.

Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards too...

I think this change to therapy has highlighted the fact that I've always needed more support, I just haven't felt able to ask for it....now I'm in a position where I have to or else I will have a hard time for no reason.

That's part of what I spoke with my helpline contact about as well.

I'm so bloody tired at the moment.

Hugs, Lost. It's good you're able to ask for help, though I wish it wasn't at a time when you felt you had no other option.

Thanks LT.

I have to wonder whether R offered blanket 'permission' to email because she wanted to offer me something.

Email is not the venue for this kind of conversation, though...

I took a Covid test last night and it was negative. I went to bed at like 7:45 and slept until midnight. Then I was up for a bit between midnight and 3. I think I then dozed back off until my alarm went off at 4:45am. I feel somewhat better and now I’m wondering if it’s allergies and not a cold.

That's a good point, Jersey.

Glad you tested negative.

I thought I just had a cold every summer until 2020, when I realised that it coincided with hayfever season and discovered antihistamines.

I just got kicked out of a BPD fb group. A moderator posted that people with BPD are sick and twisted and I responded that that was judgmental especially given that people severely judge BPD.

Ugh, I'm sorry Scarlet. If that was a moderator, it sounds like it's no a healthy group to be in... It's good you spoke up, but I'm sorry you got kicked out for doing so.

I'm glad you tested negative, got some sleep, and are feeling better. Could be allergies--where I am, it's been medium high the past couple days for grass and ragweed pollen (can you tell I have allergy issues?) Pollen.com is a good source for allergy levels--I get an email with alerts from them in my area (weather.com doesn't seem very accurate for them--one part of site will say high and another low).

I'm so sorry, Scarlet.

That person who posted has no business moderating a BPD group.
I hope you can find a more understanding group.

Covered a lot of therapeutic relationship ground in today's Dr. T session. From handshakes to the fish to R. And I'm feeling generally OK--maybe even good--about it.

What's interesting is that my OCD (partly focused on contamination fears) is actually helping me understand something and not be offended by it. I'd talked to him a few months ago about how in the first session in the new office, I wanted to shake hands at the start, to sort of welcome me to the office. I probably should have mentioned it again closer to the time, but didn't. I guess I just assumed he'd remember.

He seemed confused when I asked him about it at the start of last session, though agreed to do it--felt very awkward though. He said today that he had no recollection of that conversation whatsoever, but believes me that we had it. So he felt put on the spot, as it's not something we normally do (just shake hands at the end). He said it was also that he couldn't wash his hands right after (he'd told me before he normally does after I leave), so he was distracted by his hand not being washed the whole session. He said it wasn't about me, that he thought I wasn't clean or had cooties--he feels that way with shaking anyone's hand.

I actually did understand. I imagine if I didn't have OCD myself, I might have been offended. (Mine is more if I had to eat something with my hands without being able to wash them--if I'm just sitting there, it's fine.) I am glad he told me, though. Should we ever shake hands at the beginning or before he end again, I'll be like, "Go on, go ahead and wash them."
