Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Shoot, Steph, finding someone who actually takes your insurance is a major step!

Hil, I have seen that a lot. People just don't think it through. Yeah, part of my problem is that I'm also not sure how upset I'm gonna be if I'm right. Looks like Grandma wants her funeral in the Midwest so I'm most likely going to be spared/ missing out on that bit, too. Relieved and also sad about that...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Y'know, there are times when I miss living in the States, and then there are times like this.

Thrive to spite them

Baby steps are about the only way. And yeah I found my therapis through Psychology Today. I found it was a decent way to sort through people by the type of therapy they do and by what they specialize in (since I was looking for someone who works with trauma).

Zen it sucks you have to go through this.

The health care system is so broken and I hate it.

And that stupid people put steps in front of a ramp I mean really.

I need to finish a job application and I will try tonight.

Walk taken and email sent to therapist!

Well, according to Humana, she's in our plan. I'll have to double-check with her. Assuming she's accepting new clients.

If people would cross their fingers for me, or otherwise send accepting-new-patients-ma, I'd appreciate it. I need to sort my brain weasels out.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, I have an appointment with a therapist in 2 weeks! At 8 a.m., holy Jesus. (Look, working from home has shifted my hours. I am not a morning person. But I'll be one -- or at least be awake -- if I can get my brain weasels wrangled.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Woo! (I have several sessions a week; one of them is at 7:45 am)

That's criminal. (I am violently opposed to mornings.)

It's a first appointment so you might be able to get a better time. Mines at 9 but I have to leave around 8 to get there. AND the Sat the group therapy is a more reasonable 10:30.

I hope you like this therapist.
