Roll Call 60

Good morning Alone and Afraid How are you today?

I'm doing good. Im waiting for everyone else to wake up. I hate being the first person to wake up... It's boring.

Nope, unfortunately I'm completely alone and SOL.

Have you looked to see if there's disability services that can help you? My city will deliver and transport.

i dont want to goto group. i havent been to group in the past two weeks yet these 3 group members that i gave my number and facebook two ALWAYS ASK me if im going to group every effing week. i dont want to go.

I should. I know there's a ride service for medical appointments but that's all I know of. Thanks for the idea!

Why don't you want to go? Do you feel you don't get anything worthwhile out of the group?

no i dont get anything worthwhile out of it. its like AA style almost. its a step down. theres no steps but they have repeated some of the steps before. idk why. id rather spend my day shopping. or spend my day with my mom who doesnt treat me all that well than goto group. well my mom treats me well its just a hit or miss with her. but thats another story.

i just dont get anything out of it. i literally dont. i sit there and look around and draw on paper for and hour and a half and then leave.

its boring. im just glad im not court ordered to go

Maybe they enjoy you, and want to see you?

they might. i feel like group is negative energy though to me. all these people talk about is how bad their life is and IM in recovery and it gives me a sense of panic and anxiety and it doesnt make me feel good at all. like i dont feel like group is good for me. like i literally had a panic attack thinking about going the other day.

I have always found mental health groups boring and a waste of time until I started going to one that focuses on art. We spend most of the time working on art and socializing rather than discussing a specific topic. We do check-in, a report of what is going on in life. Most attendees are recovering from addictions or have PTSD. I can't really relate to their experiences, but I enjoy hearing their stories, because they give me hope.

This group isn't associated with a hospital at all.

Taco Bell, yay! Haven't had any in forever

I had Taco Bell for the first time in a long time yesterday, too! They had a frito pie wrap and I was so happy because it was only $1 too. Sonic used to sell them and I loved them so much but they stopped years ago. I never really liked Taco Bell but I'll totally go back for that.

I had Taco Bell yesterday!

last night at like 2am toby had a turd stuck to his fur (he has long fur) and i had to clean his butt. he did not like that. it was gross but i got it out and he cleaned the rest. life with cats

I finished with my psychologist today, the card went down well he was really happy with it. We where talking about what I'd learned from the 14 weeks of group interpersonal effectiveness I've done and he pretty much confirmed what I was saying that I hadn't learned anything because I already had the skills to begin with. Well... that was a bit of a waste of 14 bloody weeks.

I used to feel so out of place in that group because I'd never have examples from my life where I struggled with dealing with people or having arguments, etc. I thought I was the one with the problem but no, I just didn't need to be there really. Thanks DBT... you rock!

I usually take it back when there's no response.

Does anyone else not wear underwear sometimes? My dog ate most of my underwear...

woohooooo my kind of person!!!

Haha, thanks...I've been eating Taco Bell a lot lately because we go in town every day to see my boyfriend's grandma in the hospital.

Yeah... if all it does is talk about how bad everything is, I can't imagine that being helpful at all.

I wish I could sleep forever (not in a suicidal way). I like naps.

The scar going down my forearm looks terrible, I hope it fades somewhat someday..
