Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕

@Former-Member   I never thought I would get into the clear headed space enough to get back to it either.  Yes it does take a lot of determination and reinforcing thinking practices... took me ages...  but I chipped and chipped and broke through, so if I can do it, it can be done.  But I won't tell you it is/was easy, because at times it seemed like it wasn't working and I was never going to get there.  Just don't give up would be my advice.   The veil can fall.

Sorry @Mazarita,  accidently tagged you originally.

Thanks @Former-Member - I know you get it. I thought I had already done my big comeback before this. I guess this is like being asked to do it again, only in a much more damaged state with much less around than before. Tough stuff. But there's still a spark inside and I'm doing my best to keep it going.

Oh wow! @Mazarita 😮 If it's the type of massage I had years ago, yes, very painful. I much prefer a firm, but relaxing massage.
I hope you're drinking lots of water to release the toxins. Hope you feel better soon. Despite the pain, I'm sure it did some good. But, no, I wouldn't go back again either. 💕


I'll be ok, thanks @Former-Member 💕
It's a daily fight, but I'll win. 😀💪

I hope you'll be able to continue your studies. What were you studying, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for the idea of soup. 😀
I think I'll make beef, veg soup, fairly easy, I like easy. 👍


Good on you for continuing your studies @Former-Member 😊👍
May I ask what your studying?


I hope you're day is going ok @Former-Member 😊🌺🌼


Time to get the soup cooking. 😀
Enjoy your evening. 💕

[Former-Member]

I'm a fan of soup too @Former-Member, even if no one else here shares my enthusiasm haha! Social science/social work was my thing. I can say that here - the coffee corner is busy enough for it to be buried. Enjoy your dinner!

@Former-Member  I'm studying in a branch of behavioural science, at the moment it's more a reasearch role, There is some prac work coming up that I'm a little trepidatious about, but I think it will be good for me to have to get out of the house.  I'm hoping that is going to lead to my next step of recovery, getting over my agoraphobia.

@Former-Member  hey using this thread....  the lurking funshine pic is up on Zoe's thread 😛  at last!  😄  go have a look when you can, I think it's a feel good lurk.

Hello @Former-Member, I've had a tiny success today - I've started mowing! (though I had to 'fight' the mower to get it started - and it was an achievement that I did!) My yard is a cross between a sea of green and a grassious forest at the moment. (It seemed to happen overnight!) I didn't do much, just outside the front door, the real battle is out the back! But I've started 🙂 I've been a bit 'off' the past couple of days, but I think I might be 'coming out of it'. I appologize for spitting things out, and most probably not making any sense. I very glad I've found this site, people seem to understand not understanding. Thank you and everyone here

Bahahahaha @Former-Member I LOVE the funshine lurking. I think I almost need to set it as my profile pic! Initially I had mentioned I was waiting for a funshine lurking pic but changed it just to a lurking pic because I didn't think that was possible to get one. You definitely have a knack!

[Former-Member]

Thanks for sharing @Former-Member @Former-Member 😀💕
👍
Do you have someone who could come with you on your first prac day Tooky?
Take it easy when you start to step out of agoraphobia. Definitely good to have something to look forward to.
Let us know how you go when prac starts.

Are you working Funshine?
I hope you don't mind all the questions. 😀 Please don't feel obligated to answer.

I haven't been able to work for a long time. My background is child care and admin. 😊

@Former-Member I'm glad you are able to chat. It's good that you feel comfortable to share.
Good on you for attempting the mowing, it's hard work. I hope you will be able to get on top of it all. Thankfully grass doesn't grow fast in winter. 💕

Might check in later. Feeling flat since a family member popped in unexpectedly this afternoon. Trying to avoid family.
Was wondering why I went flat all of a sudden. 😮
Not to worry, start afresh again tomorrow. 😊

[Former-Member]

I lost pretty much everything recently @Former-Member so not at the moment. Big plans to get back to it when I am feeling better though! Sorry to hear you're flat. Trying to avoid family - that's a pretty big thing. Happy to listen if you want to talk about it.

@Former-Member - is there a thread somewhere we can chat about BPD stuff where it's maybe ok to put your foot in it (which I highly doubt you'll do because I think you're kind of fab, but you're also human and we all do that sometimes!). It's a super touchy one for me too but definitely one I would be interested in hearing your perspective on
