Lately, sj, I apparently just look at pictures of Chris Evans. Shamefully.
(I find it very soothing.)
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[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.
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.
Webpages that make me feel better:

Troll Youtube for kitten videos - if I need a laugh, playing kittens, if I need soothing, sleeping kittens.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Unless you have health issues, lay lay by a wall, wiggle your butt flush to the wall, and extend your legs up the wall, straight.
Stay there for 1-3 minutes, and do deep breathing, thinking of the most beautiful place you've ever been or an ideal vacation.

My coping mechanisms tend to involve watching favorite horror movies where horrible monsters eat people (30 Days of Night or Jennifer's Body), or taking a bath using the bloodbath red salts and reading a trashy vampire novel.

I feel like a failure becuase I can't do this therapy homework.
I don't know how to answer the questions. I did one in the group and I just couldn't figure out what was expected and it felt like a trap - circle everything statement that applies. Okay I did that. And it was about 7. Now come up with a challenge thing or behavior change or something for each one you circled. But that didn't happen at the end.
Plus I was trying to take notes and my handwriting has gotten so bad I can barely read what I wrote. I'm whining now. I can't do all of the answers it will be a miracle if I can do one.

Askye, what you just wrote is one of the answers the homework is seeking. It's not about what's expected (I hope) it's about what's true. That's not a failure. This is where you are, it gives the providers info to help you. That's the point, it's not pass/fail.

sarameg is right. You are not being graded on this. You are simply thinking. And you are in a bad place right now, and you being unable to come up with/being stressed and unable to answer all the questions WILL help them determine how to best help you!

Mom is coming for a visit. She's going to Florida for spring break and to get a colonoscopy (she hasn't founda doctor she really trusts in NC).
Because she wants to come after that she's thinking of driving up instead of flying because it will be like $800 for a ticket. It's about a 16 hour drive and if she'd drives she can bring up some power tools so I can do some things ( that I've gotten approval for but are cosmetic not structural) and maybe her sewing machine and make some curtains. Especially since I have some odd windows.
I really want to see her and having her drive up would be cool. Plus we would have her car in case we found a cool deal on furniture or something.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
askye, that sounds great. I hope today is better.
Can unsweetened by flavored seltzer spike blood sugar? It is the only common denominator I can think of when my readings have been too high.
