Not Coping

One thing, though, I was telling my psych that, and he was validating it about how he messages me.

Why would he do that if I need to not let it upset me @ENKELI

Okay cool @RiverSeal

Are you listening to TS.

I'm not rn but did I tell you I bought 3 of her albums now @Birdofparadise8!!! I have a record player and love to listen to her and relax. Nice to see you connecting with other Forums Members too ❤️

How's your new place in this hot weather?

RiverSeal

@Birdofparadise8 let me think about that and get back to you.

That's cool. I just listen to her on YouTube music. My parents have a family subscription.

Do you read?

If so do you like spicy books?

So much better than my little box.

My roommate, who isn't here, though, is a tad annoying. She goes to sleep really, really late and then doesn't wake up until 11 - 2 pm, and she complained to me the other day about having the TV at 10 am when I woke up at six, but she can have the dryer on at 11 pm at night. @RiverSeal

Have I said something wrong @ENKELI

Maybe @RiverSeal might have an idea from what I asked.

Welcome the world of roommates and share houses @Birdofparadise8! There's a lot to get used to when you share, and you can still have a good relationship if someone is annoying. Take the good with the bad and you might have to give a little sometimes to keep it nice.

I don't read that much and when I do I use my iPhone and Kindle or library apps. Don't read paper books. I was recommended Good Night Stories For Rebel Girls | Rebel Girls. I have it from my library on my iPhone atm but haven't started it. Do you like to read?

Glad your new place is better!!

Hey @Birdofparadise8 no not at all, I just didn't want to say the wrong thing.

I can only suggest based on my experience and I'm not a professional. I have done counselling but very basic stuff that I learned while I was a manager at Telstra.

I could say that your psych is not a friend or family member and he will do what he needs to make sure you are safe and feeling okay. I really can't answer that, I'm so sorry if I upset you. I used to be very meek and self conscious but as I got older and did some assertiveness training I found my voice.

Then when I became a target for bullies and was treated terribly when I spoke up about it I shut down.

I doubt you could ever upset me, I just wish I could do more, be more for you. I hate that you are so lonely and have these awful thoughts all the time.

If you like, you can talk to me about something that makes you happy. Maybe that would help the sad feelings?

I'm really into spicy books at the moment @RiverSeal

Lol, I'm single, so I need some fantasy.

the guy I had a date with asked what book I was reading. I was like a romance book. I don't think he would have liked to know the book's content.

Yeah, I know he is.

It's okay. Maybe @RiverSeal might know I'll repost what I asked if that's okay, @RiverSeal, and you can give your opinion.

You haven't upset me @ENKELI. I'm all good.

Thank you, @ENKELI That's very kind of you to say that. I really appreciate it.

I don't really know what makes me happy at the moment. I seem to be in a grey fog.

Go for it @Birdofparadise8, and yeah who doesn't need a bit of spice in their life huh! Maybe I should read one or two hehe. I did read some with trans characters a few years back if I remember correctly!

I don't think guys get romance books!!
