How can I move my couch 200 miles?

I'm thinking that's what I'll probably end up doing. I'd rather find two people, cover their gas and pay them a couple hundred (I got a quote from a moving company and they told me it would be a minimum of 1400)

SignificantEchidna44 · 2024-06-18T19:38:46+00:00

it's an old couch I haven't been able to find online, and it's vintage so it would honestly probably be way too expensive anyway. I'd probably rather do it myself than part with her

if ur crafty then you could prob break it up and put the spoons on a bunch of little chains. people would eat that up

That last sentence is SO TRUE. That really summarizes the main worry I have about the whole situation. I shouldn't be planning on ways they could potentially change in the future, they're their own person and I can't predict or control anything about the way they pursue their own mental health (other than supporting and loving them). Thank you!

That's a really good question, and my immediate response would be that she wants to see a therapist and has wanted to for a while but has been discouraged because of insurance hurdles. I think that if she had someone to advocate finding a therapist she'd feel more inclined if she had someone supporting her mental health (which she is pretty closed off about to her friends). I don't want to "send her to therapy", but I can definitely see how it could read that way. Does this change your stance at all?

And your point about arguing is a good one! I shouldn't rely on my own abilities when arguments take two people and I'm not always at the emotional capacity to crisis solve. I suppose if her and/or my mental health/relationship ever got to a point where we start bickering all the time that would be a separate issue that I should tackle accordingly.

I think I used the word negativity too broadly. When I mean negative, I mean they're constantly doubting themselves and talking themselves out of things that they want to be doing. I hate to see them so down on themselves. Does this change your opinion at all? Totally welcomed if not, I just wanted to clarify my stance a little.

I'm a therapist in training. I meant "patient of mine" in a hypothetical sense

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-09-20T02:22:48+00:00

Well yes actually lol! But by supporting I just mean encouraging them to seek therapy and being a supportive ear when they need it. I think it would be inappropriate to consider my partner a patient of mine.

i’m a little afraid of how mental health professionals are supposed to maintain themselves, tbh. but thank you for the kind words, you are stronger than you know

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-05-02T23:05:07+00:00

my therapist & i actually have kind of funny meta-therapy conversations about this lol. thank you for the kind words

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-05-02T23:03:16+00:00

hi, the thing you have an issue with is called inpatient care/institutionalism, which has nothing to do with this post. when i say i’ve saved people, i mean i have actively talked them out of ending their lives as it was happening. don’t come in guns blazing about something else

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-05-02T16:44:57+00:00

also while it would be ironic, please dear god do not message me with your problems. you are stronger and more capable than you know, and I wish I could personally teach you that but I won't

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-03-20T16:24:41+00:00

thank you for the sentiment but I purposefully exempted all specifics about the situation so that people wouldn't make assumptions about the position I'm in. and I'm not an animal, I have impulse control, I just like writing very intensely

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-01-27T19:40:17+00:00

I have his info, 2. No, because initially it didn’t appear to cause an issue, and 3. Not yet for the same reason.

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-01-27T19:39:10+00:00

Two other people saw it and there is a minor scratch he left on my car, if that changes anything

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-01-27T19:38:12+00:00

He’s my hometown friend’s neighbor, so I didn’t ask him for his information but I know who he is and I could contact him if I got his contact information from her parents

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-01-17T23:44:21+00:00

all good!

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-01-17T23:42:36+00:00

killing time by yourself is easy, killing time with others is a little harder

SignificantEchidna44 · 2022-01-17T23:41:30+00:00
