Couch 195: The Galaxy couch

Welcome to the couch, old and new! A place to hang out - sometimes you get immediate feedback, sometimes you don't.

Shouting, "Cool Whip" tends to bring others out from between the cushions if you're feeling lonely.

This is a chatty thread. All are welcome. We're kind of psychologically oriented, sometimes. We try to be supportive. At times we discuss what that means.

It’s a place to plop down on the couch when you come home from work or wherever, or wake up in the middle of the night, or check in at lunch, rant a bit or not, and be among friends.

We advise you not to drink or drug and text your therapist ("T") - we speak from experience.

Sometimes the thread moves fast and you might get overlooked; sometimes it moves slowly and all you hear are crickets. Sometimes you get hugged or thanked pages later. So if it's a bigger question, you might want to start a new thread.

Grab a cushion, a spot on the floor, or an armchair in the corner and make yourselves comfy!

IC 195 is a galaxy paired with IC 196
And 195 Eurakaleia is a main belt asteroid just to tie in with the many amateur and budding astronomers on the couch

Also I just like the word galaxy its has a Greek origin meaning milky

Thanks for the new couch!

First thing that comes to my mind is chocolate though!

Swapping an expensive car for another expensive car to save money.

How much are you currently paying for it? Sacrificing for me would mean selling the car and taking public transport or picking a much cheaper car.

Grappling makes me think of rock climbing even if it may not have anything to do with it.The childhood stuff is the hardest for me too, and running away has always been my set default. I personally think there's nothing wrong with arguing with a T, it's just where you are right now and for me anyway it says your comfortable enough to have disagreements and can show negative emotions .

I agree!!!

There's tickets for a Romeo and Juliet ballet show the day after my exam on the 4th which I've booked.

Channeling my inner fraiser

Galaxy buttons are my favourite treat they are right next to fry's Turkish delight my other treat its a good idea they put the uk/nz aisle down the end

Two and a half more hours of this shift. Tonight has actually been pretty darn chill—I squeezed in an entire documentary, actually, between little crises and admissions.

The last time one of the online magazines I write for sent a call out, I wrote a pitch, and then didn't send it.


They've just sent a new call out, and I think the pitch would still work...Can I motivate myself to send it? Can I hell.

You're a doing a good job!

What are you watching?

You'll get brownie points from us if you do it. Or maybe give yourself the space for now send it in an hour or two.

I tried desperately to recover my ts deleted texts but it hasn't worked.

"Swim Team" -- it's a PBS (public television) documentary about a swim team made up of people on the autism spectrum. I really liked it--maybe not the most hard-hitting doc I've ever seen but it profiled some pretty cool people

Maybe i am spoiled with professionals responding promptly but I messaged this New T through her website an couple of days ago I think and she hasn't responded. Am I being too impatient?

This is me 85% of the time

Do you have emails? If you replied to his emails some of them would still be in your sent box.

No your not impatient, this would really bug me too. I once emailed a Doctor but never got a reply back. Can you email a few others? Would you consider online therapy?

That does interesting. A random one you might like: Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)

Hm, I might have to watch that.

R was kind and said that as he had been seeing me for a while, that he expected certain things. That it wasn't a shock to him that I felt the way I did about his daughter and that It was okay for me to be who I was.
