Good morning 
y’all.
I slept later today than I’ve been sleeping lately, and it felt good. Less than four hours until I need to get in the shower.

@Naarai , I total agree with taking her to court to get your money back
But instead of assaulting someone , call the police. Violence isn’t the answer.
I’m glad she got caught though for sure. I hope she gets jail time for it

Oh i know mate. Trust me i dont go around hitting women lightly - but if someone rinsed you finances, how would you react?
The police phoned actually, not long ago - She got a 6 month prison sentence, suspended for a year, and ordered to pay £1200 in compensation. As well as a lifetime restraining order.

The restraining order is good!
Hopefully she’ll kick her habit now

I understand how you feel.
My best friend drained my bank account many years ago because I trusted him with my debit card info.
Believe me I wised up quickly after that.
The jerk did pay me back but he never apologized. I kicked him to the curb.

You sure about that?
Because I know a crack user who cleaned up and I hold him in very high regard.

@Revv1 I looked up General Semantics. I don’t know how to explain it though sorry.
It’s basically saying meanings are arbitrarily attached to sounds. In one language ie you might say that “ba” means dog but in English “dog” means dog. In Arabic Kelb means dog. Different phonemes in different languages. It’s arbitrary.

Oh I see, Korzybski made it more complicated sounding than necessary. I have been trying to read Science & Sanity for years but I can’t make sense of it. Thanks

Expanding my music listening by streaming Nigel Kennedy’s ‘Four seasons’ by Vivaldi.
It is sounding pretty awesome on my new streamer.
Waiting on some cables from China to connect my best speakers to it, but it is already upgraded with the streamer and is sounding great.

I talked to my therapist today, for an hour. She’s glad I found a forum where I feel so at home. I explained that I was worried it was consuming all my time. She thinks I’ll have more self-control once the novelty wears off. I think I’ve been here for two or three weeks. I belonged to a SZ forum years ago, but I don’t think it was this one. I know that I was part of some discord groups earlier this year. Eeek!
My therapist thinks I can structure my visits into sessions of 30 min, two or three times a day, with the help of my day planner. She reminded me it wasn’t good to devout all my time into one activity. I should put the eggs in more baskets.
We went over the good points: I feel like I can contribute here (making suggestions on how I cope), I feel less alone, because I have so much in common with others here. I feel like people understand me better than my own family. When I started coming here, I began to have a dream of being in the home of my childhood friend’s family. I always loved going next door to them.
There’s also the exercise thread, and I’m feeling more motivated to add something there, each day.
So thanks, everyone, for being here.
Sorry for this wall of text.

I keep losing to the commands. I hate myself

Do you have a therapist or psychologist or counselor to talk to about this?

Dad got sloshed all to hell at the bar at 11 AM so me and his ex had to go pick up his truck after he got a ride home from someone. Guess he fell either inside or near the building.
Anyways,
I have two online music lessons today. Yay!

You need a systemized approach to deal with the commands. I would hope that your doctor could advise you.
