Book ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Apparently it resulted in the patient wielding it in a "You're doing exactly what my therapist said you would" way.
Aha. Perhaps the patient in question has some issues of his/her own, and using the therapist's words to back him/her up.
I don't know. People are crazy. Not saying this person you know is, but the brain processes shit in such weird ways I can hardly trust anything I don't witness first hand.
I'm not so bothered by the context we've seen so far. It's true IME that friends don't always understand clinical depression; that a therapist said that and it got mangled in translation seems likely.
I'm not going to go into masses of detail, because not really the Internet's business, but it was framed that way during the diagnosis discussion (or at least how it was reported shortly afterwards), and then some time later it was hauled out as a "told you so!" to someone who was trying to understand. Turns out the patient admits that most of the friends did understand in the end.
That seems very odd, but I am still very slow. and i think the real results - that most friends had some understanding is normal.
I am going to make a BLT for lunch .
Well, I'm glad it worked, in any case. Someone made a statement that absolute to me and I'd be mentally flipping the bird as I walked out the door, so that approach would definitely NOT work on me.
There are n Snakes on the Plane. There are k Passengers on the Plane. Each Snake will Bite One Passenger at Random. What is the Probability that The Target, Mr. X, does not get bit?
If I'm k, the answer is, "Too low."
Next question?
what other internal drivers do they use that aren't
Lorelai's independence issues, especially wrt Emily, come into play an awful lot (less so this season, but in the past, definitely).
ita, it's possible the patient might have interpreted "may not" as "will not".
I'm glad it worked, in any case
There's no indication it did work, though. I have no idea what the motivation behind it was--dare the patient to prove the statement wrong? Prepare the patient for some inevitable alienation?
No clue.
Everything turned out passably well, but I still find it strange.
My teeth cleaning has been moved from the end of April to mid-July. I feel paranoid now.
eta:
it's possible the patient might have interpreted "may not" as "will not".
True, although the patient has a history of being a reliable narrator.
I would like to annonuce that I just had the Best. Sandwich. Ever. Smoked pepper turkey and smoked gouda on light rye with shredded lettuce and sharp grainy mustard. Heavenly.
