I was on therapy once too, back when one of my brothers was murdered and another died of cancer just 2 weeks after. I was so depressed and all, but to tell you the truth, the internet proved to be better than the shrink. These shrinks are just clueless, you and me can provide better consultation than them. They don't even offer you tissue when you're crying, at least my shrink did not.

 

I have to start going to a shrink soon.

 

Wow, that sounds creepy familiar. The shrink I visited was this cold precise old lady who apparently didn't want to get too close to me. I just looked at her and thought "You can't handle this."

I am sorry to hear of your brothers. But you strike me as the sort of person who always gets back up on her feet.

 

Psychology is all guesswork and bs At least, thats what I've gathered from two years of studying it.

 

Yeah, that was what I had thought too, Banzai.

So, how is everyone, elsewise.

 

Bored bummed tired, but glad to have you guys to talk to.

 

No, psychology can be imprecise, especially because the mind can be very creative at protecting itself from outside influences. But a good therapist is a guide, helping you find the ways to help yourself.

 

Oh, yeah.......at least I pretend to be.....I mean I sure as hell beat up those guys fast enough..lol

Hey Oasis.....lousy here, what with tuition at 7 tomorow..........wht abt ya?

 

Hmm. Cogito, that doesn't sound anything like the idea of psychology I had. But then, I don't really know what I was expecting that lady to be able to do anyway.

 

My mother has joined a few of the writing communities that I have been on, but right now, my mom abandoned me and my family to be a lesbian.

I'm doing good, just playing Crisis Core and writing a little. Looking for something to critique

 

Righto, and often enough it's not a shrink you want but a total next-door type stranger who you've never met nor will you ever. I mean, but it's hard being the person, it sorta sags down more responsibility doesn't it?

 

an interesting life change. I have known about 6 women who have done the same. One left 7 children and her husband.

Dom kept telling me to come and join the site. He grew up with my stories and figured I should do something with them.
Glad he insisted, as I have met some very interesting people.

 

Yeah, she did the same, only 5 children and a husband.

Very awesome, I'm glad you came too.

 

Dom's dad and I had to see a psychologist once and that was to get him out of the hospital. He kept throwing up so we put him in to find out why. He didn't throw up while he was there for 5 days so they assumed we were abusing him.
I am a mental retardation counsellor and knew the questions they would be asking. But they have 2 sets to ask. One set is for educated people the other is for the average Joe who works has highschool education and can be bullied.
We put down that Don was a miner (which he is) and I was a stay at home mom. which I was. She started with the form #2.
I asked her to use the other one and she said what do you mean the other one. We only have one. That is when I set her straight.
Don has 3 years of computer electronics at college and I had a degree.
The questions certainly changed.
Long story short after 1 hour she decided to let us take Dom home.
I have no patience with psychologists.
Drs. and case workers just seem to want to dump the person so they invent some excuse to send them on.
I know some are very good and very helpful but they are still societies way of making you feel different.

 

Society's way of making you feel different? What do you mean?

 

y om just happens to be hell of stubborn. She will not learn Computers because she's a bit too orthodox and stuff, and hates computers, and even though we've got three systes in our house, I doubt she''d ever open any, much less work online, uch less join this site.....so I'm safe....lol.....

 

if you don't conform you are punished or at least warned to fit in.
if you still insist on not conforming, you are sent to psychologists, who will try to make you fit in.
This is changing but slowly.
I have an aunt who is now 80 years old.
She was in an abusive marriage but nobody would believe this wonderful man would be anything but charming so she was sent to a psychiatrist to find out why she would dream these horrible things up about her husband.
She didn't fit in with their beliefs of her husband so she spend many years in and out of mental health hospitals popping pills and having shock treatments.
They never worked because she was not the problem. These treatments are now making it so she has no memory and is always hiding from the world.

People want everyone to be at least moderately like themselves and will put up with a slight variation but it is still a pack mentality. like a pack of wolves will get rid of the one that is different. A white wolf is killed or run off because he is different and will attract attention.

Nerds are not hanging around with the jocks.
plain Jane is not with the Barbie set.

I hope this explains sort of what I meant.

 

Aye, I see what you mean now. But there's no way I'll ever be normal!

 

I like you the way you are if that counts for anything.

I am far from normal.

My kids buy me guns and ammo for mothers day.
I prefer woodworking to sewing.
My grandson told me I am the silly grandma.

Who is to say what normal is.
My husband knows I am nuts but says that is what he loves about me.

Since he is the one person who really knows me he is the only one I would ever change for.
So as long as you like who and what you are DO NOT change.

 

Define normal will you? You want to be as noral as a b******* of a girl who's only lost what she ever gets? You want to be ass normal as a gal who's always had coplexes about her looks cos she's got one heck of a beautiful sister? Do you want to be as nomral as a girl who's the only one with a dark complexion in her family? You want to be as normal as a girl who's not got ay brains, no talent or anything to hold on, yet has to live in a heat of expectations. you want to be as normal as a girl who's never really had friends even though she's popular, cos she's insecure? you want to be as normal as a girl who lives in a world of fantasy to go away fro the truth, yet hurts worse on coming to reality? You want to be as normal as a girl who's always been hated by her grandmother cos she's a girl?? Yeah?? you seriously need to visit a shrink then. You can't be perfect Slip.....but you can learn to manage with as you are, if I can accept myself, you sure as hell can.

 

Beautiful Ray
I was the fantasy seeking girl.
Until I met my husband who liked me the real me.
Now I am the real me and as long as he loves me that is who I will stay.
