I went back to see the tdoc I saw when going through my second divorce a few years ago.

((((((((((Morgaine))))))))

you said-
------------------------------------------------
Many of us here struggle greatly with rage and I
am no exception. However, lately, my rage has
been a reaction to a coworker and it has spilled
over into other areas of my life. I am allowing
this person to make me miserable. Today was a
good day. I feel much better since I have a
"plan." I was beginning to feel hopeless
-------------------------------------------------
Man, could I have written that myself!!!! Except I don't have much of a plan. I'm sure you've read about my rage and my coworker at some point. My only hope is to breathe, meditate before work, and walk away and have a "smoke" break (even though I quit 5 months ago).

Good luck with that and yes please do let us know how things work.

Love
Amanda

I've known for a long time that we were alike haha. Are you sure you're not my twin (the real one couldn't be more different from me - then again I have a theory that says twins are like two opposite halves of the same person).

I love that picture of me with the grad cake. I just found it hillarious. I match the cake in green and blue...also the red and yellow I said reminds me of my manic mental state! Haha.

Gotta love my fashion sense. I've always known, been told and even read in my horoscope that I have a unique fashion sense. Combine pearls, mesh, leather and studs and black/metal cross. Very typical of me. (then again many people wouldn't think that...at school I wear a lot of plain jeans and sweaters, and scrubs (my fav!). At work I am the worst kind of grub. I wear mens dress shirts or turtle necks and jeans/pants. For some reason I look horrible, but then again the shirts don't fit right.

Right now I'm almost ready to settle down with a male life partner. I can see spending my life with this one guy in my life - we are a perfect match, but should you settle for that and not sexual chemistry? He'd be horribly unsatisfied in that respect. Okay, that's all I'll say about that before I get in trouble for off topic posting hahaha.

Okay I'm going to go. I think I'm delerious. It's going on 2:30am. And I have to get up at 7 yay. I hate mornings. This is my usual time to come online. I work until midnight sheesh.

Hugs,
Amanda

If I don't seem like an aries (and I think I don't) would a sun in gemini moon in aquarius make more sense? I was supposed to be a gemini. Born exactly 2 months early and my parents didn't know they were having twins! (I was the surprise).

I definately don't think 33 is too old for the clothes you describe (I think we had this discussion before with everybody about jewellery, tatoos and clothes). You gotta start thinking younger! I don't think 30 is old or even 40. I went out with a 35 year old when I was 18.

Well he and I may have that long term type chemistry but.... I'll stop there.

Emotional chemistry, ya that's definately what I look for. That's what I've had with my girlfriends. I have heard people say the same thing about women that you have though too. Except for there being less to choose from ;) well there is less, but no shortage! The million people that I had to make my way through today was definately not a shortage.

The only downside to toronto today...the heat. Heat exhaustion and sunburn yuck. I'm going to lay down with wet towels on me tonight!

I didn't know that therapists could see other family members. Like my psychologist can't see my daughter or my sister because that could compromise the existing therapeutic relationship he has with me.


But I guess if you are OK with it....I would not be, though!

morgaine, i'm glad to hear you have a tdoc that you can trust! i know the one i have now (for about a year-and-a-half) is a life-saver! i've had like 4 in the past - 3 of which were ok, but didn't get to the core issues just dealt w/ the surface stuff (my divorce at the time) and told me i was "all better". the 4th one was a bigger nut job than i am! lol!! after 1 hour, she informed me that i was a drug-addicted alcoholic. her reason for said dx was this:


i told her that the stress i was undergoing had me to a point where i was not sleeping, so i would have a beer at the end of the day, occasionally 2, to relax a bit. i very rarely drink, and usually when i do it's in a social setting and no more than that.


within a week of that meeting, my father died. *no added stress there*! however, i held it together for the sake of my kids, my sister (who, incidentally is nothing like me either), and my mother. i didn't need or use substances to "get me through". yet, this quack had the nerve to tell me that because my parents are/were active alcoholics that because i had 1 or 2 every now and then, i was an alcoholic! i told her she was wasting my time and walked out.


then, within 2 months of that nightmare, i found the one i have now. it definitely has not been *easy* but we have gotten through the surface stuff and she got me to a pdoc where we finally figured out what was really going on, then once i started stabilizing we started into the core issues which is pretty much where we are now. i can't say enough about how much she has helped me through so much, but i hope she doesn't plan on going anywhere for a while;) lol!


so, that's my unrequested experience:) i'm very glad you have found one that works for you as well! keep up the good work and keep us posted.


hugs,
