i remember that some of my therapy that helped felt good and some, by way of bringing up painful memories, hurt and helped. if you're not being helped at all, though, maybe a different therapist?


It's mostly group stuff that's being very unhelpful for me, and it's not just because of addressing issues that are painful. I'm doing an IOP program (essentially group therapy) 3 hours a day 3 times a week, another group therapy session once a week, and I also see two different individual therapists each once a week. It's really the IOP stuff I'm thinking isn't worth it. I've done an IOP program before that covered pretty much the same stuff, I think. I'm planning on sticking with at least one of the individual therapists.

that sounds reasonable. i don't like going over and over the same material, either.

Cathy Lynn

That could be okay with me

If something comes up, then maybe I should not or cannot go

But things almost never come up

:mrgreen:

I really feel like I've encountered the word "race" a lot more since the election of the jerk than I did before. It's pretty bizarre to see two groups of check boxes pertaining to "race" and "ethnicity".
It's disturbing.

I've just installed something called iTunes, in order to listen to a presentation about Keynesian economics. I've got a feeling that's not what this medium is mainly there for, so it'll be interesting to investigate it further. The fact that it's something to do with Apple makes me a bit wary though...

Keynes was an interesting character, and his influence on the way our economies are run today is all pervasive. I've got quite a few misgivings about its implications though.

Thanks kazanscube. You’re always so nice! Hope you have a great weekend.



I do my best as, my weekend is not going to be the most wondrous as, my overbearing parental figure my mom is returning after visiting with my sister. Honestly, I'm 45 years old and don't need to be treated like some teenager even if I am diabetic type 2 and have had my difficulties with management of such over time. In fact, this is why, I'm hoping to eventually re-locate elsewhere state-wise. Not just that, i'm not fond of the constant hot weather where I'm currently located and would not mind cold weather literally.


All the best with your move. Yes I remember you told me about the mom problems. I totally understand as I have a very overbearing mom too. I do better in hot weather myself. I hope you enjoy the cold weather. Cold weather has been giving me a lot of sore muscles. Last year we had a polar vortex! It was pretty though all the frozen snow! Ideally I want to be closer to the equator.

all that stuff about life not being a competition and people never having to compare their lives to anyone else's, is pure BS.

In just 12 books, most if not all of my invented universe will be explored. *sigh*
