bouts of depresssion and need to sleep alot.
my u2 obsession is part of it all.
it also gives me a perfectionist drive.

these things i can relate to. especially that i have a kind of obsessive personality. but i think overall chemically i am pretty stable.

 

[Varitek]

oh and hi jen and

 

[Axver]

Have a good one, LM. Always good discussing this stuff with you.

If I wrote the bible there would be two Gods. One is man and the other woman. Did I mention they're lovers.

If I wrote the Bible, the Psalms would just be a bunch of setlists.

bye elmel

Why a male therapist?

From a lot of what you've said in these threads, I feel that you tend to idolize (and idealize) women. That might make you less willing to open up and share your "inner darkness" and expose yourself to looking abnormal or imperfect.

Ecclesiastes encourages sex?

4:11: Again, if two lie down together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?

Okay. Maybe you're right.

I'm off to bed. So you all in a couple hours.

For what it's worth to the thread, i can relate to social anxiety and such, but was told by a therapist last year it's all related to lack of self confidence due to body image etc. Sounds dead right to me

Glad that body image thing isn't a problem now.

I agree with this. Screwtape, you would be much better served by a male therapist. I think you would probably be more relaxed and open with one.

 

[Varitek]

Okay. Maybe you're right.

I'm glad you can see this and I really, really hope you take DOL's advice about finding a therapist.

Now I've really, really got to go do some work, so

Night Screwtape

That would be Melissa. Ali and I both know her in person, and she used to post here - though I don't think at any time you were around. She hasn't been around much lately though.

So, hi Melissa!

You know, the first commandment God ever gives in the bible is the most widely obeyed:

...and the lord said let there be Exit with Gloria snippet.

The Lord thy God proclaimeth, thou shalt not segue Pride into Streets. Thou shalt perform 11 O'clock Tick Tock live. Thou shalt not play Vertigo twice in one show.

Etc., etc.

And have a good night!

I'd love to see people reading too much into U2 lyrics in whatever the lyric forum is here if that was the bible.

Thou shalt not be acoustic

Melissa and she is awesome !

I have entertained the idea of constructing a theological system based on The Joshua Tree's lyrics. I know it could be done and it would bring the lulz, but it would require effort and I'm not sure I can be bothered.

Plus, there would probably be a Jamila or two who'd take it seriously.

Melissa and she is awesome !

that's fine but why is she lurking!!!!! participate!

That reminds me. I hate when people assume that my anxiety stems from body image issues because I'm not skinny. To me that just makes me think that they think I ought to be self-conscious about it. In reality, I'm pretty damn comfortable with my body. It's my mind I'm worried about people judging.

I actually wrote a big rant once about how I consider my mind and body to be two very separate parts of me, and how I wish to be judged for the merits of my mind rather than my cupsize, and how I'm actually more comfortable revealing my body than revealing my inner thoughts.

I'm not doing a good job obeying that.

this reminds me of one time when Irishteen/Jonn and I were taking in DESCRIBe and he said something about the Book of The Unforgettable Fire, Chapter A Sort of Homecoming, Verse, And You Know it's time to go
