hi
we got to go to work soon
sorry was such rough night
you were brave. glad you called police
Hi. Maybe you already left. We are still so scared. We need bread and
eggs, but we're still too scared to go outside even though the sun is
coming up and there's other people out.

Keep wanting to just have been a bad dream, but the text messages are
still on the phone and the bits of asphault still sit on the window
sill. Last night we were babbling to the police about not being a
hallucinator. They said they know. They said is obvious people were
there to scare us. They just didn't know who. They saw the first text
message.

Ok. Who is doing this to me? What did we ever do to deserve this?
(t)

-ubiquity constellation
don't know and don't think you deserve it
somebody very messed up. you don't deserve it. doesn't work that way.
the ugly ones know how to find kids who are vulnerable. that is all.
think on it, they don't go after adults. that would be too dangerous.
they find little people and then they figure out which ones are most
vulnerable. when you (me, prolly most here) have broken messed up
foo's then we are already at risk.
you never did anything to deserve this. you were a kid and deserved to
be loved and protected. the bad was the grownups around you. stinks.
worse than stinks but that is all we will say cause we might get too
angry saying more.
wish you could find out who the bad ones are and then they could be
stopped. maybe when you are all stronger you would be able to think on
that kind of thing. for now is just enough, sometimes too much, to try
to be safe and protected.

Do you think our t sent them? Do you think she's testing us? She
promised never to do that, but we are scared.
T said she was going to order a pizza on wednesday for session. She said
we can pick what kind. She told vicki it's game day. She said can have
party and games for littles and it can be safe. She said nobody will get
h*rt. She said nobody has to do anything. We can call it off anytime if
we want.

-ubiquity constellation
no no no. that is understandable paranoia from past evl done to you.
she is good and safe. she would never do it and will always work to
protect all of you from that happening as much as she can. she is one
of the good guys. that's a promise i know is true. others at asd will
agree, i spect.

unless you are too triggered to risk it i think it sounds like a very
nice idea. give youse chances to experience safe fun. help learn a
little bit of trust again. she is safe person. she has told you some
about her life. she doesn't make secrets and she always is on your
side. think she likes you a lot and really wants you to have a good
life, not a fearful, sad one.
maybe tell her you are scared and maybe plan only for pizza and then
if everyone is ok can do games. maybe not have games all out right
away. might be triggering initially. have some pizza, feel safe. then
see how you all are feeling. doesn't have to be all or nothing. you
can be in charge and make choices. she will understand and appreciate
that. even Kat says so. she says good tpsts let you get to pick so
you don't be scared.

We will try to be safe. Baby fell asleep. We are going to lay down on
the floor with him and try to rest a little while he's not up. We can go
lots of days without sleeping, but days where we are super-panicky and
hypervigilant wears us out too much for sanity to stay up.

Ok. We always frightened we are being tested. We know it's her day off.
Think it might even be her bday, think it was around this week. We try
not to worry, but is like, we can't help it because what if it /is/ a
test.

That's what she said. When she found out some were going out for ice
cream at night, she asked the one who told her if we could plan on
sometime going after session for ice cream. She said she could buy us
ice cream, no obligations, and take us home that day. We knew a month in
advance. It was nice. She said we could eat it at the ice cream place,
decided we were too dizzy when we got there because that's what we had
planned on, and she did just take us home. Right home. Told us every
turn she'd make, and she did exactly like she said.

Think so too. Just scared sometimes. Always we were a little worried
about agency thrpst. She kept so much hidden. She didn't even use her
real name with us we found out.

Thanks. Our t called back. Now we're a little calmer. Don't think we'll

if we close our eyes. Time to rest hopefully.

morning. Was very much help.

I'm very sure it's not your t'pist! Either there are people some of
you have met who are doing this (not really good friends, that's for
sure!) or it's people from the past. Not people I'd consider friends
either.
I think you should go to t'py on Wed and have a nice time. Let the
kids play, eat pizza, have fun. Let them learn that it is possible
to just have fun.
What I would do is save anything you can save from the people who
threw asphalt and put it in plastic bags and keep it up away from
the kids (I am worried there might be something in the chocolate that
is hurtful) and give it all to the police when they come.

Ok. T has an appointment downtown before seeing us. We were going to
ride the bus up there, but she said she can pick us up and drive us home
if we need it. She will be in the neighborhood.

A detective came this afternoon and took photos of the asphault bits and
the text messages on the cell and a statement. They have the audio of
the asphault hitting the window on the 9-1-1 call. He said they will be
working on it, and to call if it happens again. Really don't want it to
happen again. Scared. So much anxiety now that it's dark again. We are
worried. Panicked.

Well she used her middle name, and think that's ok, but we remember
first going in there and there was confusion because the thrpst from the
last place had told us our new thrpst's name was Laura. When we asked
that, they didn't know who. When we told agency thrpst about the
confusion, she denied her name being Laura. Said she had no idea who
that was. One night we were looking up state licensing stuff, her CSW
and later LCSW both licensed to Laura <rest of her name>. Also, we
always had suspected she was lying about her identity because her
license wasn't displayed anywhere. Every thrpst we'd ever seen had their
license and diploma on their wall or framed on their desk.
Only thing she ever told us about herself was her age and that she
missed having a dishwasher. Her husband's house had no dishwasher when
she moved in with him.

hope they don't come back and hope the police can do something about it.
sounds like it was very very scary.
People agree it happened, people are wanting to help you, everyone
accepts you are not hallucinating it. The bad people better start
running! You are getting stronger, btw. You probly can't see it yet,
but when I first 'met' you, had something like this happened, you
would have hurt your body, ended up losing time, been put in hosp,
maybe other things. And _this_ time you reached out to asd, called
your t'pist several times, called 911, talked to cops, saved evidence,
and other things. That is some definite growth and strength!!!
Of course you are scared and anxious and of course you don't like that
this is happening. No one would! Your reactions are completely normal
and healthy! :) If it does happen again, try to take pictures (stay
safe of course, don't do anything that might be dangerous!), call 911
again, mention the name of the detective if you remember it, save
evidence. It won't take long before the bad people get tired of
bugging with someone who is strong and adult. They will go away or get
caught.
k
that just makes it seem like she was afraid of her agency clients which
makes us wonder why she would work there :(

Is good? Makes us feel more scared. Cowering huddled in a corner for
twelve hours scared witless doesn't feel like growth.

We are just so afraid. T said we should take pictures too. The time we
went out and took a picture from the back enterance, the ice cream van
didn't come back again as far as we know. Our t said she's noticed if we
take a picture, seems they move to something else. We wanted to the
other night. We were so afraid if we looked, they would throw a rock
through the window or escalate. :(

Yeah, think she thought that too. Don't know. *shrugs* If she'd leave
the room even for a minute she'd take her purse with her. Thought that
was a little strange, especially when she'd take it out of the cabinet
to take with her. Not like we'd rifle through her things. She would
always say how she wanted to be equals, but she always held us in this
sick patient role.

but maybe they not actually gonna h*rt you
maybe they just trying to t*rrorize you
maybe they just trying to protect themselves
they don't want you to get better

Think of it this way: you _knew_ you felt this, you knew _why_ you
felt this, you have external agreement that this is true and you
aren't 'just crazy', you didn't end up inpt from it. I'd say it's
growth even if it's not fun. Believe me, growth was rarely 'fun'
in the early steps! :P

Yes, you have to do what seems safest in the moment. Your wife was
with you, right? Maybe _she_ could have taken the picture from
outside. If they don't know who she is they wouldn't have paid any
attention to someone walking by, maybe. I dunno. Pictures and
reporting them to police and speaking up (here, with t'pist, etc)
is a very smart thing to do. Stuff like this only flourishes in
secret and fear. Once you take your power and strength and say NO
and STOP, you aren't an easy target and not as much fun to mess with.
Of course throwing a rock through your window would have been a very
stupid thing for them to do. Fingerprints, mad landlords, more police
vigilance cause it is a more serious crime.
feels better to be on a diet. there's others that want it to. but now
I'm not so sure. guess the body doesn't feel good. wouldn't care but
tomorrow we get to see n and n-hubby and kiddo. is probably our only
chance while they here. don't wanna ruin it
but shay told t we going on a diet and we said it here so now we have
to. we started and then we stopped and then we started again. seems like
weakness if we can't stick with it for more then a couple days in a row.
dunno what's right.
hate this time of year.
sorry, lots of posts but we cant much seem to read. don't mean to ignore
as I said elsewhere, I think it would be exceedingly difficult for you
guys to eat too much. think your body has had too little for so long
that it would take a lot to get it back to "normal", let alone anything
else.

false logic
not eating isn't strength. not eating makes body weak and sick and slow
to heal.
but maybe we've exaggerated things? maybe the body isn't really that bad
off. would hate to think we've just blown things out of porportion

somebody else said that ED is weakness. guess that makes sense. think
being on a diet is easier
guess maybe I know it's not really a diet (think maybe not everyone knows)
<sigh>
wish I could diet
least I not thinking about being d*ad right now
guess maybe I need to find some other alternative
really hate this year
n probably not going to be happy with how thin we are. she wants us to
gain weight. thought we were but guess maybe not. don't mean to upset or
worry people. we try to eat so we not upsetting people. is hard to
remember that though.
anyway, how you doing tonight. just can't seem to read other threads
definitely isn't!

having the body get sick because you aren't taking proper care of it
would ruin it

ummmm
that implies that if we said we not gonna eat for two days then we'd
have to do it because we said it.
and it implies that if someone said they were gonna take an overd*se,
then it would be weak of them if they didn't.
stopping is the healthy thing to do. you can't afford a diet.
> dunno what's right. hate this time of year.
understand
eating a balanced set of meals with enough calories to sustain health
is right.
> sorry, lots of posts but we cant much seem to read. don't mean to

did you not really faint at the hospital?
did you not really have clothes that were too big and sis-in-law didn't

understand
Skipping meals is not healthy wolfie. I don't there there is a possible
situation where it's a good idea, other than the kind of brief fasts you
ahve to do before some medical proccedures.

understand. is difficult season.
but 'not eating too much' is not the same as dieting, esp. if dieting
involves skipping meals.
also, you said recently you'd lost *more weight. have some leeway,
prolly would be good to regain some.
think it's over-reaction (very understandable over-reaction) fed by
ED.
is too short a season for anyone but a dedicated over-eater to really
be sabotaged by, and don't *think any of you'd be very happy with
dedicated over-eating. over-abundance of highly calorific, often
rather low quality grub inconveniences a lot of people, but
inconvenience is by and large all (despite the avid dieters' ritual,
and sometimes rather phony, lamentations). for you might well even be
healthful.
>beside, we not been exercising as much.
<<little surprised pleasure>>
that sounds good. remember over-exercising was becoming a problem.
>feels better to be on a diet.
understand that. is illusion of control. feels better than either
admitting uncontrol - dieting for you is just as much uncontrol as
overeating would be -, or illusion of uncontrol.
(think you're worries about over-eating may actually be illusion.
Shay's attuned to bodily needs, so won't eat to surfeit. never had
impression that Oscar regards food as much other than fuel. don't
know that well about fuzzy.)
>there's others that want it to. but now

is progress to be aware of that. and important to take note of!
>wouldn't care but

no. is important to have enough to eat so you can enjoy, and they can
enjoy.
>but shay told t we going on a diet and we said it here so now we have
>to.
those are old, bad rules, imposed by people who just wanted to
diminish you.
in the adult world, inhabited by sane people - and it is to be
presumed that your t. is one of those -, changing one's mind is o.k.
neither t. nor anyone here would think the less of you for realising
that you had made a mistake and unmaking it! the more, rather.
>we started and then we stopped and then we started again. seems like

isn't weakness to look after your body. takes strength, because it's
hard thing to learn to do.
>dunno what's right.
>hate this time of year.
mhm. hard in so many ways.
>sorry, lots of posts but we cant much seem to read. don't mean to ignore
it is that way sometimes. really is o.k.

what's today? wednesday? so, what are you going to do with t? or did it
already happen?
She's coming to pick us up in her car at 2pm and go to her office. She
was telling some of the littles it could be game day today. She is going
to order a pizza even because there's a pizza place in the same shopping
center as her office, so she said it wouldn't be too much cost. She said
she wanted to. She said we've been working really hard.

I absolutely agree with your t'pist! I think you all have done more
work since you met this t'pist than you were able to do total before.
Until now you were simply able to survive. Now you can begin living
and growing and healing. Very hard work, but worth it in the end.
Nope, you can change your mind. You get to do that now. Plus, imo, I
would think it would be better to do a lifestyle change rather than a
diet. Diets don't seem to work for most people, but adjusting what you
eat, how you eat it, when you eat it, etc. and then making that part
of how you live your life seems to work.
>dunno what's right.
>hate this time of year.
What is right, right now, is whatever is going to help you get through
this time as best as possible and with as much time for good stuff and
as little time for bad stuff as possible.
>sorry, lots of posts but we cant much seem to read. don't mean to ignore
We know you are here, even if you aren't _here_ *grin*
Not sure we were ever doing anything really benefitial before. Was
mostly life skills, DBT, tell us what to do and how we're doing
everything wrong and "not effective".
We can go to thrpy now and talk about whatever, and she'll help direct
it to something helpful. We don't feel so restricted. Don't feel so
pushed or squeezed into a behavioral treatment model.

Hope someday we do. Near the end of seeing agency thrpst we stopped
talking about lots of stuff, mostly, here, there, everywhere. Try not to
talk about si or self h*te or bad things here anymore.
