Re: I'm worried now about visiting family.

I forgot to add that I believe your visit will go well. I’d just keep it short, avoid drinking and if they drink don’t engage with them. Nod. Tune them out. Go to bed early. Keep it light ( I know...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

We have people using some electronic thing to unlock cars if your fob is near enough that they can steal the signal - I have a garage but live in an urban neighborhood that is old so I have a tiny...

Re: I'm worried now about visiting family.

I think to ensure better visits I’d keep visits short. 4 days. Maybe 5. Maximum. No time for it to go sour

The only people I can tolerate for a long time and can stay with long time in their...

Re: I'm worried now about visiting family.

I dont like family interaction either. It makes me uncomfortable. Try and find something positive about the trip and concentrate on that.

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

That going through unlocked cars happens all the time out here. There are weekly discussions on NextDoor on whether it is better to lock or not to lock. The not-lockers claim it saves them from...

I think maybe you have the start to that letter your therapist suggested you write? (That was you wasn't it?)


I'm so sad you went through so much so young. I've done the letter...

Re: Changing my responses

Thank you!

Oh my gosh I feel like I connected with an awful lot of what you shared!


I always have tried to validate the kids to a point I’ve worried I’ve allowed them to be self centred and...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

LT- His office looks very eclectic. This fish is smaller than I was expecting and very funky. I like it. I also like the plants with trailing vines. Personally, I think plants in an office are nice...

Re: Changing my responses

You have my full sympathy, RD. I'm about to travel thousands of miles to visit family. Right now, I have anxiety about how that's going to go. On my last two trips, there was some unpleasant...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I have become surprisingly good with houseplants. Much easier to care for than human relationships - simple needs until overcome by pestilence. Hmm, maybe more similar than I thought ...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I'm not good with plants and just bought a big peace lily, which is supposed to help with mold/mycotoxins (as long as I don't overwater it, which shouldn't be an issue, as I'm much more likely to...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

For me unkempt/ unhealthy plants demonstrate neglect. From the 8 or 9 plants I bought when I first moved into my new place, two are currently still alive. Both are desert plants from Ethiopia (snake...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I tried acupuncture twice and would go again if I was back in the big smoke. It didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would and I actually enjoyed it. Felt better afterwards so maybe hugging a cactus...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I don't see anything all that odd about the office -it is not unlike how I would picture a reasonable office for a therapist to look. Plants die when they come to me so I don't have them, but I am...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

For some odd reason we use both, LT.

2.5in would be just over 6cm.

I can imagine trying to hug Dr. T would be akin to hugging a cactus, based on his people skills as you've portrayed them so...

Thanks for understanding. Good luck with your Dracena. Sometimes I think the euonymus on my patio is my best friend. I raised it from a baby. :hug:

Heart Re: Daily check in thread: Ups & Downs #33

Yes, I second that. :grouphug: I too feel so alone even though I'm not in a ward. American society in general, in my opinion, is superficial and disconnected. A lot of lonely people out here.:(

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

If I’m being honest that’s not what I expected the office to look like either. What is that brown hugging statue, animals and all of the rocks ?

I thought the fish would be bigger.

We're here for you. I'm sorry there's no one IRL who's showing you the love that a person in distress needs. We can't replace that, but we'll listen. It's awful to feel so alone. A lot of us have...

And it really doesn't look like a sports psychologist's office. The only nod to that he has, besides some sports psychology books on a shelf behind him, are some bobbleheads from our local baseball...

I'm glad you were able to get pics of the office, LT. These T's and not wanting to be in a picture... sigh. A couple of times I took pictures of a sand tray I'd just done, and L would always...
