Insomnia. I've had it for a week. Due to a combination of high high crisis week at work- being on call and lots of late night emergencies/middle of the night calls- and general chaos around me. I need to take some time off.

I'm really stressing about Survival Cat. Getting her into the no kill shelter isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be, and I just can't stand the thought of her stuffed in one of those little cages at the pound.

A lot...too much...

I have been reading about gaslighting. Pretty interesting!

Gaslighting is when someone screws with your sense of reality to manipulate you, causing you to distrust yourself and trust them instead.

Gaslight was a great movie too. I've seen the 1944 version with Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer and Joseph Cotton. (yes, I had to look it up!)

To discover reality requires a certain sense of skepticism with regards to what others consider to be written in stone, so to speak. Once a person accepts an idea by anyone as how things should be, they block themselves. So whatever you do, don't block yourself! Anything the mind puts together can be undone. So whatever you believe can be put aside.
Best wishes,

To persue another job. I need something different, not 7 days a week.

To pay off some debt, soon, before it ruins my credit.

This sounds intensely interesting and requiring quite a bit of responsibility on the part "the manipulator." Who is actually the Top.

My good friend, who happens to be a psychiatrist, enjoys Topping psych scenes. We have often team Topped a bottom with the express consent that she will experience a period of time she will be uncertain what is and is not reality. She must enter the scene with a full understanding of what may occur.

The point of my post is to make those unknowing aware of the fact that, if gaslighting is done, all participants will be in a scene that requires a good deal of skill to successfully accomplish all elements of this type of scene including reorientation and aftercare. An intense psych scene is no less mind-altering than an equivalent physical one. You may not see any physical marks, trust that there are emotional marks which need to be dealt with.

RockOn · 01-22-2018, 12:34 AM

The reason I have been interested in reading about gas lighting is because years ago at work, I had a guy try and practice his gas lighting talents on me.

I did not have a name for this guy's "condition" until I recently stumbled into the gas lighting topic online. There he was. There he is today.

I shut his noise down.

You are just as impatient as the other fire signs, but your fixed nature can turn a frustrating situation in your favor now. Once you set your mind to accomplishing a goal, you are relentless in your pursuit until you reach your destination. Although you may run into one stop sign after another today, youre not likely to become discouraged. Youre a pro at taking it all in stride because you understand that setbacks are not permanent; they are merely resting points on your way to success. Persistence is your ally when times are tough.

My daily horoscope.....I LOVE the part about my seeing "setbacks are NOT permanent, they are merely resting points on the way to success"....YES! I do see things this way...

Also about once I set my mind on something I am relentless in my pursuit! Stubborn, much? lol

We've been looking at real estate down near Asheville...i know it's where my soul belongs and my honey is willing to make the move...but I'm trying to finish school first...

But....

A house that we particularly love just had a significant price reduction... I say I can always finish my degree there...my honey is sensible and says we need to plan and prepare. But this house...it calls to me. As do the mountains. I miss them....we shall see

that there is an assumption among some, that all babygirls like to color and play with dolls and glitter...

Or that all Daddies like that sort of thing.

all "becoming" is an illusion, because it is an escape from who you are;
and the word 'illusion' comes from the Latin, il- + ludere, to play falsely, to play with things that aren't real

Okay and I really do love glitter eyeshadow...
