My Therapist Buddy

[autumnluv143]

So, I'm in therapy for anyone who can remember me mentioning that. Well, I go every other Monday and it really is just like sitting with a one-woman audience while I get some frustration out.

Ok, so last week I was talking to Shi about my conversation with myself. I've been doing this for years. I have little conversations (usually confrontational) with a person (who is usually real) about a situation (that is usually not) and the other person I'm having the conversation with is usually only talking in my head. I, on the other hand, tend to talk back to this person out loud. This usually happens in the car when I'm driving and my brain is bored or tired. Then again, sometimes it happens when I'm pissed off or well...just happens. But I ONLY have these "practice" conversations when I'm alone. NO, I'm not crazy.

Anyway, Shi mentions that I should probably bring this up to my therapist. So I do. Now, I should mention that, to me, these conversations are a source of entertainment. I start off a story with "So, I was talking to myself the other day, right? And well..." The story is usually very entertaining for other people. What does the therapist say? She thinks I've got a great imagination and doesn't see anything wrong with it. She also mentioned something I already knew. Maybe this is how I got to be bitingly good at retort.

So now when you see me being nasty with someone you can say something like "Oh, did you think that one up in one of your little 'conversations' too?

I've gotten worse at writing.

That sucks

i like the way your therapist thinks.

Eh, we all have our writing days. Don't be so damn down on yourself.

And well you do have a great imagination, and your retort is well.. astounding (or however one spells it that hasn't had to deal with customs all bloody day long! LOL) but either way they ARE funny to hear and I miss 'em! The convo's that is!

"You're clever and imaginative," she says as she writes the prescription for a three-day hold at the nuthouse.

hee hee hee

Just kidding. Smart therapist.

Miss you!

Really. Right now, I'd like to leave some sharp, stinging welts on somebody. I've been doing a lot of sweet, tickly, teasing bondage stuff and I'm feeling vicious.

Let's meet in each other's dream. I'll whip your ass and you'll have catharsis. Wheee!

Going to bed now.

I have conversations with other people in my head too. I think everyone does to an extent. I just hate it when I forget that the other person has no reference to what I'm talking about. Then I have to explain the whole thing to them and I feel like an idiot. *shrug* Not too bad, but it happens.
