Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Why would you give your T an ultimatum? Do this one thing or else? Don't the past x years mean anything? I don't get it. Has he offered you an ultimatum? If he did, what would it be? YKWIM.

Differences in mindset once you're not poor anymore

For those who do struggle with poverty, I'm very sorry you're going through that. I have no advice, but I hope the best for you. Rest assured that although I am now middle class, I am not superior to...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

The fish itself isn't important, but what it represents is important. Similarly, the decision itself of whether he keeps it or whether you take it back isn't important, but your process around this...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Hugs to you, @@.

I understand about leaving something like a cough drop in there. I could see keeping something like that, too. That's touching about the medal being there. So now you're...

Yuck...

It seems like the issue with the fish has brought up deeper feelings of insecurity and doubt in your relationship with Dr. T. To me it’s just about wanting to be a part of his space and to be thought...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Your smaller fish reminded me of that....

Re: Why is my oneitis stalking me?

Good suggestions.

The only thing is that I’d not have light conversations and enjoy interactions with people who went to my boss and told them that I am weird. I’d not try to be friends with such...

Re: How to stay on case manager and future T's good side?

I think, yes, you should. You also should tell her why you waited to tell her and why you don’t want to go to the hospital. Your reasons are very good.

The med thing is a valid point, but also after a major manic/psychotic episode the brain does need some time to recuperate and things may seem dull and foggy for a bit.
