Honestly skip it, it adds no value to the wider thread and it was quickly abandoned. I agree with you completely re weaponising it. She’s a really demonic and dark being, like truly a very scary individual I’m not joking, so it’s okay to feel like you can’t consume 100% of what she puts out there cos it’s an awful lot to deal with if you’re in connection with your emotions? The problem for her is she’s not, she can say all these things and feels nothing so doesn’t realise how horribly triggering and tbh, disturbing it all is. It’s something I’ve noticed in the narcissists in my life too? Like emotions and human life (or cat life) is just so cheap to them anything goes, and you can’t put yourself in that firing line!!Don't feel bad. I think doctors (especially the consultant ones you see when tit gets real) are proper used to people crying at them. Certainly that's what they've always told me anyway and I choose to believe them. Though, mind you, I did once apparently, in a post cancer op drug induced moment, have a conversation with my consultant that I cannot remember at all and I must have said *something* very odd. I only know it happened because he came back a couple of hours later and I was talking to him like it was the first time I had seen him since the op. He was looking at me strangely, and I said 'Why are you looking at me like that?'. He said 'Don't you remember the conversation we had earlier'. Me: '.......'. Him 'Never mind, we don't have to talk about it again'. Stifled giggling from the recovery nurses. No one would ever tell me what I'd said. I probably told him I loved him or was going to name any future children after him, and as he was a late-middle aged rather stiff upper lip sort of chap, I am, overall, relieved no one has ever told me the content of that chat.
Ok. I am now at Thursday evening in my mother thread grunka, where it all went dark as. I am having to take regular breaks. That is all very upsetting and pounding on my triggers. I really hope it isn't lying/exaggeration, and then that fucks with my head, because that somehow means I'm hoping something awful happened. That's one hell of a bleeping thing. Whatever the reality I'm feeling hugely disturbed by something like that being used as a weapon in conversation. I've only just got started on this bit, so I guess maybe things change, and sorry for bringing it here, it's me being self-indulgent, but I can't process it in my own head and the main thread has (I imagine) moved on a lot. I should probably stop, but I am tired and in a lot of pain today, and my impulse control is as poor as anything even when I'm on my game.
I hope you feel better re pain, though! And you’re having a lovely lunch to distract from it. I went and got a baguette from the bakery, was underwhelming as usual shoulda got a brick lane beigel tbh
I’m going to start Schitt’s creek this week so I can make faux friends with the characters so when I need it as a distraction for my overnight stay it’s a familiar friend!!
