@kairosrhetoric I'll go with the latter on principle.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric Tying flies can be remarkably creative and meditative though.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric I'm glad you are safe. I hope this stay is healing, comforting, and productive.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric What the heck?

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric The fact that you are able and trying to keeps tabs on your own health is a really good thing.

Just know that you aren't alone in this particular experience. It's just the nature of how this stuff is documented.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric Progress notes are not really meant as doctor > patient communication. Of course, since the topic is literally personal, it can be hard to separate the purpose from the topic.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric Granted, there's a wealth of context and such that I'm obv not privy to. Some people have a shitty way with words to convey what they actually mean.

FWIW, I care about you, and I hope your reasons for self-harm can fade as you heal.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric My response would be something along the lines of "This isn't about you. And if the only way you view our relationship is about what it does for you, then it speaks volumes about your capacity to actually care for others."

@kairosrhetoric I hope it goes well. Boston is a lovely city, though it's very college-town-meets-tourist-trap.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric Glad to hear. I hope you get some much-needed decompression and therapy. Please send me a note as you go in/get back.

@kairosrhetoric It speaks of the emotional maturity of a 14yo forum moderator.

@kairosrhetoric An excellent photo to take.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric In my experience, the breed makes a bigger difference.

@kairosrhetoric Cuddle bug =)

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric Looks like he has a quest for you.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric Do you have any forms, tax filings, or whatnot sitting around that might have it?

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric @IlluminaDID I try to keep a level head when they are the topic. But they've been at the center of so much controversy and trouble that we've found it best to maintain distance. They're a pretty sore subject for my partner.

[Patrick [Murkrai] @Murkrai]

@kairosrhetoric @IlluminaDID When you look at group therapy and why it's standard practice not to allow discussing personal symptoms with each other, it's easy to see how this can get out of hand with social media. Especially when you are talking about peoples' entire sense of identity.
