Well… I have Valentines plans!! (That I made for myself because I enjoy the holiday and want to continue to do so in spite of if anybody wants to ask me or not)

One of my girlfriends is coming over and we’re making heart shaped pizzas and bloody Mary’s with various pickled things. Throw in some face masks, chick flicks and dressing cute. I’m excited!

sounds fantastic! I love Bloody Mary's!! Have fun!

What a day. I'm mentally exhausted, but making progress on the app. I've learned so much about human physiology over the past few days. These researchers are the real deal.

On the one hand, they're inspiring to work with. On the other hand, I've seen them metaphorically rip each other to shreds. One grad student in particular, who was preparing for an evaluation. I hope she comes around. Her team is otherwise supportive and I think everybody wants to see her succeed.

I've decided I'm leaving for good by year's end.

I agree with Miles! You'll be missed brother! Glad we're connected on Facebook.

I mostly hang around here for the online fellowship. Even when I only have time to lurk. As somebody who avoids most other social media and often finds himself in secular digital spaces, it helps me feel a little less alone.

So many social media is secular, I'm so glad this site exists!

So I'm getting the psychological runaround at my boyfriend's church. Said church is hosting a class on trauma, and I attended and it was extremely helpful. The videos that we watched from actual therapists, the conversations in the class, everything. I spent some time yesterday devouring the video material for the future sessions - the church provided a login to watch them online.

Except today I got a call from the guy who is hosting the class and he wants me to see a therapist and be moved to another group. Apparently, I'm too smart and too "deep" for the class I was attending, and he claims that the class I was attending wasn't designed for me. Further, if I keep going I could get the church in legal trouble. What?

At least I'm allowed to finish watching the rest of the videos for the rest of the sessions online, but I found this whole thing really frustrating. The class was very helpful for me, both in understanding my problems and also my boyfriend's situation. I feel like I'm being misunderstood, and it's making me very uncomfortable.

It's just another edition of "linux is too smart for therapy" that I experienced back at the community college. I was just looking for information about trauma from the class, and I feel like I'm being punished.

Honestly I think that's kind of a strange response from him.

I agree. I've already had to challenge and take down one church counseling program already, so I smell a rat. He tried to make it sound like it was all for my benefit, but I can feel patronizing manipulation through phone wires.

I'll find out more tomorrow when I call the therapist I'm supposed to see.

The only thing I got for my efforts to reach this therapist was voice mail.
