The line about squeakiness is pure truth, and applies to most people. Even (especially?) doctors, although they sometimes present themselves as all-knowing and super-human. I'm glad yours didn't. And I'm glad to know the curly hair thing helped with the positive association. :)lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802935724582067215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-51117140798033855392015-02-19T14:05:49.034-08:002015-02-19T14:05:49.034-08:00So so great!

That's awesome that you went, and ...YAY YOU!!!! That's awesome that you went, and awesomer that the resident was good. Next time can you ask her what she uses on her hair? Mine starts curly but then just kinda... stops.<br /><br />Also? I totally Googled "dysthymic" without anyone having to tell me to. But I have every confidence that if I had asked, you would have told me. Probably even politely. <br /><br />I've found Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to be really helpful. At least, I think that's what my therapist is doing. She works at a clinic with "Cognitive Behavioural Therapy" in the name. Mostly I like her because I usually don't feel like she's "doing" anything. To me. And yet somehow I'm less crazy than I was. Which is setting the bar pretty low, but hell, I'll take it.Sashahttp://ramblingnotebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-34375616050341585602015-02-19T04:31:26.213-08:002015-02-19T04:31:26.213-08:00I'm very glad to hear you went and it went wel...I'm very glad to hear you went and it went well.

I think you're one of the strongest people I know, and one of the funniest, and definitely, definitely one of the kindest and most thoughtful.<br /><br />Re: parking. GODDAMN PARKING. It sends me over the edge every.single.time. I had to go to the hospital for all my cervical stuff, and OF COURSE it's not clear where the parking is, and I'm trying to drive to find the building that I need to be at, and driving past the best parking lots, but I can't turn around and there are people behind me, and I feel like, should I just go home? But eventually I find a spot and I'm okay. But dammit, every single time, I have parking anxiety when I'm going someplace unfamiliar. Well, and also places that are familiar. And I get lost so often...well, you know how it goes.<br /><br />xoxoxoxo <3 >3Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212465957211363245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-8353125506197118592015-02-18T13:44:03.596-08:002015-02-18T13:44:03.596-08:00as someone lucky enough to know you IRL....
