Thanks We here are getting a good deal... mind you, it is about half of our disability cheque so that stinks. But well worth it... later - dudeRead More...

seems like stuff like that should be considered disability discrimination...Read More...

I actually went back with my T a second time, then last night went alone! The second time with my T I rather freaked out as the bees were flying around her car... but I DID IT! The time by myself, they didn't fly around the car (and I didn't get out) but they were close enough by so I could see them at their hive. Funny... I thought to myself "they aren't paying any attention to me at all!" What a shock! I assume they are out to get me personally (I was a bit offended that they weren't,...Read More...

Have you opened the honey with the bee on it??? Good fortune with the trip.. seems quite a leap from the jar to the farm.... you feel ready for that jump? IzRead More...

Oh I see... that makes sense! "age" is all pretty relative isn't it? dudeRead More...

No worries... i think those 'regulars' here have each other on YahooIM. What about you, shrinklady, ever think of YahooIM? Any more thoughts about doing a chat here? dudeRead More...

Butterfly Warrior: I just arrived home after a wild time in the Big Apple......purchased some wonderful items.....walked and walked (from one end of Manhantan to the other--and then some).... visited all of the "touristy" sites ....whew, I am exhausted....My flight was 3 hrs late leaving New York.....It is now about 5:30....off to bed I go.....ps I will IM you later once I am rested... Dude: Perhaps we each know CG in different ways.....she has acknowledged her blooper with a promise to fix...Read More...

Hi everyone, yes I think there is this function available. My techie David would have to show me how tho. I'm quite a newbie with boards and I'm still trying to figure out how to find a thread...ShrinkladyRead More...

If you find something more of interest in regards to sarcasm could you kindly let me know....would love to read more.... Take good care DebRead More...

Well, I can only give a unprofessional opinion.I recall you saying you are an alter in your system.... do you have 'dreams/nightmares' of others? I know this is the case with another alter I know in someone elses system but he also has the role of an internal therapist too. For me- I feel that when I have nightmares that cause a lot of physiological arousal when I wake up.. I tend to feel it's connected more to my trauma issues even if not a direct memory because it seem's that 'regular...Read More...

Ariellia: Wow.....quite a journey thus far for you......No health care professional has "labelled" me with borderline personality disorder....and I prefer to see individuals as unique intricate beings trying to do their best to navigate through life.....as opposed to a list of diagnoses.....I grew up in a middle class family, the eldest of three children....My father (an alcholic until 1979 when he quit drinking) provided all the materials things that life could offer; however, he failed to...Read More...

Thanks Ariella, it's nice that you've become a part of our little group.Read More...

I know what you mean "dude"... lol I think that it's not so much a profession of insanity as it is just acknowledging that we say and do things that we know aren't really "normal", per se... things perhaps that drive others nuts or hurt them... or hurt ourselves. We drown in an inexplicable mass of pain and confusion. Ehhh, that's just me. I don't want too dig deep into this right now - I think it'd be an interesting discussion thoughRead More...

I think that would be a great idea! I just found this site by complete accident, thinking "myshrink.com" would've been a fun domain to play with. As it is I'm working on building a site to help people with personality disorders. Anyway... I hope they come up with a chat soon, and that more people discover this.Read More...

Thanks for the encouragement... dudeRead More...
