Even all. I'll be locked in my tower if anybody asks. Well no, but you'd think I was locked in a tower for all the action I'm seeing!

I've done nothing to generate any interest though. I watched a whole load of clips on youtube today by a guy called this speaks to me right now. He has some great clips about the ego. Stuff we all know rationally but he explains it well.

I did a jillian michaels earlier. So that's 'tamed' me. Feel sleepy.

This one is about how sometimes the only thing standing between you and success is simply patience. I need to hear this.

I'll read up, in the meantime I'm wishing you all well x

I've just read up.
Wherever you are waving I hope you are doing well x

TheVirginQueen · 20/09/2016 20:57

Anna, hope you're on the road to recovery. Brew

ocelot7 · 20/09/2016 21:34

Dancing good to hear from you :)
Hope talking to MO is not affecting your progress towards yr fabulous life unfettered by any flakey, cheating madman....

HandyWoman · 20/09/2016 22:05

Sorry to hear that Ana - hope you're well on the mend?

Dancing hope things are OK and that counsellor was good.

TheVirginQueen · 20/09/2016 22:16

yeh, how was the counsellor?!
was it a counsellor or a psychotherapist?
I dismiss counsellors with a wave of my hand. Bring in the big guns.

HandyWoman · 20/09/2016 22:23

I'm with you, VQ I saw a counsellor who was rubbish and got me nowhere.

Psychotherapist, however - worth her weight in gold..

Terms are often interchangeable though I think..

As you were..

Just catching up after a night out (avec Twix) well done, dancing - therapist sounds really promising.

Smile

One of the many things about good therapy is just having a supportive space to let stuff out. That can be revealing in itself as you listen to yourself talking about your past. You can sometimes learn about how you really feel about things that way, if you've been disconnected (like I was) from my own feelings. And you'll also hopefully get good guidance on reinterpreting stuff. Hooray for you.

Handy - or, in the quote attributed to E M Forster: "How do I know what I think until I see what I say?"

HandyWoman · 22/09/2016 12:09

Yep. What he said...

TheVirginQueen · 22/09/2016 12:57

Great quote!

Glad it's a psychotherapist Dancing

Am loving your moves, dancing haha re W1 one, SAHP just keep bouncing back.

TheVirginQueen · 22/09/2016 15:53

Wow. Not having been to London for a while it took me a while to figure out W1 but when I did, lightbulb, ha ha! Brilliant.

I think crying in the psychotherapists office is good. Shows that there are thoughts you haven't been confronting on a regular basis.

I want to catch up on all of your news but I have to do 2 exams by the middle of next january or my salary won't go up until January 2018 so that makes up my mind. I'm going to burn my ass studying the next 4 months. I can do it but only if I don't time waste dating eejits. If I come up for air at all it'll be to sit a driving test.

TheVirginQueen · 22/09/2016 15:54

Can't believe Mad's gf messaged you. What the heck does she think she's in a position to say to you Confused

Time to 'date' your psychotherapist (haha) and hold everyone else at a slightly greater distance.

Go you!

my parents guilty of 2, 5, 9, 11 at times, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
