My mind went to a porny place (the one where CBT has a different meaning).
Our local phone provider is Cincinnati Bell Telephone, so when repair work is being done, there are signs reading "CBT" all over. It's as hilarious as it sounds.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm sorry your first day was rough, askye. I hope you feel more comfortable soon. But I am proud of your determination to go back.

So what are some healthy coping mechanisms that people have because I had a very stressful day (most of it was my own damn fault) and I either want to eat something terrible for me, go spend gobs of money, or get on a plane. None of which are feasible right now. Apparently I don't have any healthy coping mechanisms.

Watch British mysteries and documentaries on You Tube or Netflix. Terry Jones is good for a laugh and information.

I often research potential trips when I'm in that frame of mind. Or I'll read books set in a local to which I'd like to travel. If I'm not in a position where I can just say "screw it," and eat something terrible for me anyway, I'll often look up recipes. That often leads to later making and eating something less than ideal, but in a set number of months you can do that.

Thrive to spite them
I came home and took a nap. I wanted to go "see" live music in Second Life and instead I'm printing out paperwork for a waiver for the $400 ish whooping cough test.
I still have to call the insurance company for short term disability and email my therapist about filling out paperwork for work. The hospital thing wants info about my medical expenses but it dosn't ask for documentation (which I guess is good I don't have receipts for most of it) and some I put on credit cards so it doesn't show up on the bank statement. I keep telling myself the worst they can say is no.
Oh and way back 3 years ago (ish) I had a temp job where I was basically asked to leave because I sucked so bad. That job would have been doing the financially stuff for the waive I'm doing right now. Which is kind of making me feel like crap.

Lately, sj, I apparently just look at pictures of Chris Evans. Shamefully.
(I find it very soothing.)

askye, it really sucks when the unpleasant past get brought up like that.
sj, one thing I do when tempted to stuff my face and eat emotionally is to take a few moments to really concentrate on how I'm feeling and ask what would make my body happy. Sometimes the answer is to plan an indulgence of some kind that actually fits in my eating plan/what's in the cupboard/whatever. Sometimes the answer is, make a cup of tea. Sometimes the answer is, put on some music and read. Sometimes it is, to look to the internet to cheer me up. Most of the following have been mentioned here before, but for the sake of your convenience, I'm including links.
