Pointless Announcements

Well, at least in lieu of the gym, I have this killer ab thing going on with the major coughing fits. I've lost 6 lbs in a week. Bronchitis, fuck yeah!!

 

This seems to be a common thing for women. At least two girls I've dated long term were always excited about coming off a serious illness because, and I quote, "Look how ripped the disease has made me! Rawr! Sex-ay!" I'm not going to argue with results, but I was a little leery of mouth kissing.

 

That's what my doctor thinks I had last Oct. It struck me about two hours after landing at Heathrow. I was in the Tube when it hit. One of the worst experiences in my life.

 

Yeah, I do not want GI bugs... ever. But this is getting kinda funny in the coughing vs. ab crunches context.
My obliques are killing me. But in a "good hurt" way. I have twenty pounds to "sexay. rawr." and I'm not anticipating getting anything that'll make me lose that much. Except getting through Comps and Dissertation, internship applications, interviews, moving for internship.... yeah. no.

 

I lost 30 lbs a year and a half ago and it only took 2 weeks maybe 3 at the most for that to happen. I just didn't eat...nor did I move really. I was too busy hiding from Al Qaeda and having babies...in my head. Fucking MS.

When I busted out of rehab I ate and drank everything that I hadn't had in 4 months. I don't recommend doing that without any muscles to help you effectively burn off all the calories gained from eating lots of crap. The will or ability to exercise like I once had was gone too. Welcome back 30lbs. Actually, I've only gained back maybe 25, but still....not cool.

 

Bitch, I will POKE the pounds off you.

Actually, that was the first thing that popped in my head, I laughed hysterically, had another coughing fit, and figured I would share it with you.

 

No one pokes me like noodle

Damn-fucking-skippy.

 

I always cringe when I see you've tagged me in a post.....this is why.

 

Pointless?

While Yalom postulates that the ultimate concerns bring about anxiety, which triggers defense mechanisms, Beck suggests that dysfunctional cognitions are what contribute to psychopathology. However, both existential theory and cognitive behavioral theory recognize that psychopathology results from maladaptive pattern of thinking and behaving that significantly impacts daily functioning of the individual. An existential psychologist may explore depression from the perspective of death anxiety, fears about being alone, or the difficulties in finding meaning in life. A cognitive behavioral therapist would more likely focus on depression as related to maladaptive cognitions, such as “I am no good” or “I cannot do anything right.” A psychologist working from both perspectives may examine depression in regards to the ultimate concerns of meaninglessness and isolation that contributes to the cognition that the individual cannot succeed in relationships.

And, that's why I'm an existential-CBT therapist. I'm killing myself with my own pretentiousness, but I have to convince these people that what I do is the right way to do it, yo.

 

Watching the Disney take on Pocahontas for the first time after my 5 year old wanted to watch it and I have to say that so far it is worse than I thought. This kind of crap should have a disclaimer on it.

 

Here is something for you, haha!

 

I love the thumb-twiddling wait of a long query....

 

The disclaimer is knowing that it's Disney. It's probably going to be historically inaccurate and a little racist.

 

FUCK CANCER!!!!
