So you're sick, eh??? All because people decide to go out and tough it out when they are sick... I hate that! STAY HOME IF YOU'RE SICK DARN IT!!!!

I was tempted to say my favorite swear word instead of darn it, but I want to stay on Bob's good side....

You know, I try to be sweet.
You've helped me do that momma.. Thank you sweetie..

And I've lost count of the number of engagements I have.... But, sticking to my true self, I've decided that the largest rock wins my heart. At least then if it doesn't work out, I can always pawn it for money.. I'm awful momma... Slap my hand. But, I just love diamonds, and emeralds and rubies... Oh my! I sometimes chant that to myself.. Is that a problem I have, you think???

Oh, I could spend all day talking aobut the whole "Grou Project," but I am going to group. I'll enjoy interacting with the people, but I don't think it will help me with the "real" problem I have.. Only time will tell...

My Pdoc was quite surprised that Bubba put me in Group. He suggested I start seeing a new, long-term therapist... I suppose they'll have a talk about it... And maybe Bubba will suggest I switch, maybe not.. Oh, well.. I'll be happy either way, as I* create my own happiness... And even with the events going on, I'm quite happy..

I'm glad your mother backed down a bit. I was afraid I was going to have to give her a call so we could chat... And why in the world do you want to leave Burt? Look into your motivations behind leaving him, and see what you think the reason is... I just don't want you to do something you may regret... Cuz I LOVE you and miss you dearly... I miss all the conversations we had together... With all the participants.... I just miss it period...

Hey there sweetie.. Your insurance (seems we're both having problems in that area, eh? Do they do it on puropse, or what???) will be figured out and I'm crossing my fingers for you too... They'll stop being stupid and you'll continue seeing Beefcake and will live happily ever after.. I just KNOW it!!!


> So, how are *you* doing?

*I'm Super-Fantastic, thanks for asking!!!
>
> How is your head? Did Bubba see the bump?

My head's ok, but my whole upperbody is SOOO sore. And my bruise with thew indention of my bed frame is turnging that green color, so it will heal... I'd like to show Bubba some bumps, if you catch my drift :)
>
> How is your friend doing?

*She's OK.. In day therapy right now.. 9-5.. She's holding out for our trip to Cali, as she's never left the state before.. She'll have a blast and I'll make sure of it... She's in good hands with me..
>
> Did I read right that you have six sisters? Wow! Any brothers?

*Nope, no brothers. My family is known for just having girls in the family... Maybe it's because we are all bautiful? My sister did have a son and we thought the world was coming to an end when we heard the news,,,,
>
> Did you talk to Bubba about group?

*Yes, he talked aobut it quite a bit,,, He's excited, as this is his first group. I asked if he would point out when I'm lying (as I lie often you know) and he said he would... That jsut sucks, period.. I want to LIE! I want to withold info... I sometimes want to be a different person, and I think that;'s where the lying comes from... But, then there are times I'm happy to be me.. Wish they would come more often, a I tend to get myself into binds from "just being me."

>
> Buy any cute shoes or clothes lately? Yummy perfume?

*Nope, my old man says we're broke.. And I despise being broke.. But, I am going to buy some tennis shoes and work out clothes... As, I don't own tennis shoes or even a T_shirt to work out in... I'm more for style than comfort..
>
> Did you see Lala's dress? Pretty, isn't it?

*Lala's dress is gorgeous... She'll make quite the lovely bride for me... I can't wait to marry her. See, I;'m avoiding the fact that I;m not the (????GROOM???),,, although LaLa if we got married, I'd be the bride for certain! I want the dress, darn it!

>
> Nice to see Miss Honey back (if only for a short while) wasn't it?

*Oh, I about fell out of my chair... She's avoiding us because I'm not marrying her. I'd be disappointed if I were her too.... But, she's such a cutie how could I be upset with her for long... She's a gorgeous woman isn't she??? With her auburn hair, WOWSA.. PERFECTION..
>
> Eat any LaBamba burritos lately?

*No, I wish.. My boyfriend only eats them when he goes out drinking. So, if I get them, then it;s at 3 am.. But, it's worth the wait..
>
> Let us know what's new with you :).

I will darling... I think I'm just avoiding the fact that I;'m gonna lose Bubba.. He told me again that after group, if "something" comes up, I can start seeing him again.. But, it doesn't seem the same, you know... Men, sometimes they confuse me, especially when you can't have sex with them, because if they don't want sex, what could they possibly want.....

Karen,

Try www.studentuniverse.com for your airline tickets. That's where my daughter got her tickets for France. Aren't you lucky to be a student???

The prices were more expensive than ATA.com.. I found a pretty good deal there, so I'm going to go ahead and reserve... Of course, after I do, I'll find a flight $30 cheaper... Plus, I need to book 2 seats, not just one..

Thanks for the encouragement. I think I am a tight hugger, when I feel close to and safe with the person. Then, yeah, there's not much better. Although chocolate and well, other things....but you know what I mean.

Thanks! Where are you going on your flight? I'm off to DC in mid-March. I booked on Yahoo and got a decent deal. Not being a really savvy traveller, I'm a little nervous. I'm used to my husband handling all the tickets, check in, transportation to hotel, etc. Now it's up to me. And I have a real tendency to get lost. Probably end up on a plane to Idaho or something. :)

Take care, sweetie!

Well, I'm glad that at least you enjoy the conversation. Did you talk to Bubba about your "real" problem? Can you call him?

> My Pdoc was quite surprised that Bubba put me in Group. He suggested I start seeing a new, long-term therapist

What were his reasons for suggesting a long-term therapist? He doesn't think your ready for group yet?

> And why in the world do you want to leave Burt?

Well, he told me about a year into my tx, that he didn't think he was qualified to deal with "these types of issues." I ignored him because at the time I couldn't see myself with another pdoc. I honestly don't feel like he is putting 100% into my therapy. I feel like he forces himself to sit through my session. I think I will continue to see him for meds, although over the phone only. He and Begonia can discuss my "emotional problems" and then he can decide the best course of drug therapy for me. (Although, he has already gone through several medications with me). Ugh.

Your pdoc is willing to manage your meds by phone? I assume he is in contact with your therapist to keep an eye on how you're doing. My pdoc sees me every three or four months for ten minutes, just for meds, but I'm not sure he'd be willing to go to just phone visits.

>>he didn't think he was qualified to deal with "these types of issues."

My old therapist said that she didn't think that "she was helping me anymore". I ignored her, but she wasn't 100% there, either. We need to start listening to them when they say things like this.

So hard!

He actually offered the phone visits before I had a therapist. If you think about it, it's much like what happens with a GP. Now, he and my therapist are keeping in touch. He has a list of billing costs for different types of sessions. The phone call for meds check is on that list.

Isn't that the truth! I originally thought that the reason he told me that he "wasn't qualified to help with these types of problems," was because it was right after I told him I SI. I figured it was just one of those, "I don't want to treat a borderline, because the prognosis is poor, etc." Now, I honestly believe that he really just can't help me. He and I aren't a match. It hurts to think about that.

You little bee charmer you. Thanks for asking about me and everyone, I think you really are a budding diamond Dalai. I'm doing okay just not feeling interesting enough to post.
My life is a wee bit dull right now, and I don't do dull very well. better than depressed but hard to get used to you know?



 

I wish mine was willing to do that. :)

*So was my mom. that's amazing.
My mothers first breakdown was when she was pg. with me. I was born into her illness. She spent my first year in an institution and then home catatonic. What a welcome for me.

>She was in and out of hospitals for most of my life and died by suicide when I was a teen.

*Oh my gosh....I am so sorry.
That makes me so sad.

What age were you?

Do I dare ask what she did???

Or when her birthday was?

> Can't give away my mystery birthday tho. I'm a bit paranoid about patients finding me here! They don't need to know what a nut case is treating them! :-)

Oh my...that's so sad. Who took care of you when she was hospitalized? Those early years are so important.

Why are you interested in birthdays? Is that due to an interest in astrology? I don't actually remember her birthday. I guess I've blocked it. It's in the spring, when the crocuses bloom...or maybe hyacinths. It's been so long, it's a bit fuzzy. At my age, everything is a bit fuzzy!

Do take care. Emmy

If you want to get emboldened (is that a word?) to put together some unique ensembles, may I suggest watching Sex and the City videos, right around season 2 and 3. After seeing the get-ups that Patricia Fields puts on Carrie I just start thinking 'Hey-- you can throw anything on any old way and call it fashion'. Or check out the creative clothing of Tokyo teenagers in this book "Fruits". I'm not sure it's really such a good influence on me come to think of it. :-)

Two gold stars for you Tabitha One for each ear.
I loved that movie. One of my other favorite lines
from it:
"I can't do it, I get scared when I look down"
"So don't look down!"
Such simple good advice I think.

I know what you mean. It takes me an hour to get to his office and an hour back. That is SO much driving. Part of me wishes he would beg me to stay and continue with him, but I know that's not going to happen. :(
