Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I start therapy today. First time in years. I'm terrified.
Best of luck, Aims!
I finally bit the bullet, myself, and made an appointment with a new shrink to go back on Bipolar meds. I'd gone off them because I felt like I woke up with headaches every day and went to bed with near migraines. We'll see if that happens again this time. One thing he did different, though, is he put me on Klonopin before bed rather than Ambien. In the past three days I have slept better than I have slept in over five years, I swear. I even remember my dreams now, which I haven't for a very long time. And they aren't bizarre nightmares! I had a very happy dream last night where Chris Evans tripped and landed on me face first. It was very happy making. Then another actor got pushed into my lap, but I refused to grope him because he was married. Wish I could remember which one it was, though!

Aims, dear - best of luck!
Edit: and to Sail too!
Steph, sorry to hear about the corset and the friend. I understand your point of view, but have to admit that my friends and I are lending things to one another (though, not corsets - books and such) for years without asking them back. I'm pretty sure I lost few books along the way like that, but I don't really care about these things - unless I specifically asked back for them. However, again, I understand your frustration and anger.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah, it's time I got back on medication train, myself. At the very least, ADHD meds. I'll probably need a shrink for the head meds.
Things are Capital B Bad.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
but have to admit that my friends and I are lending things to one another (though, not corsets - books and such) for years without asking them back. I'm pretty sure I lost few books along the way like that, but I don't really care about these things - unless I specifically asked back for them.
And if I had said to her "Take it, keep it, I don't care when you get it back to me, or even if you keep it for a long time," then my complaint would be ridiculous and hypocritical. But I didn't. It was loaned for a specific event that lasted only one weekend, with the understanding that it would be returned to me afterward.
I understand your attitude of relaxed loan/giving to friends without the expectation of the item being returned, and it's great that that works for you and your friends.
That's not the circumstances or expectations under which I loaned this corset, though.

Oh, absolutely - I never meant to imply that this is the situation between you and your friend. Sorry if I wrote it like this.

And also, Aims, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

Yes, that.

My PCP wants me to see my oncologist because of the freaky blood tests. Excuse me while I panic.
