Hello @TAB
Wow you have done so much
Your place sounds great.
You dropped a name of a place and I know that area well.
Small world.
Keep on creating that nest of yours.

Hello lovely to hear back from you @TAB
Love your pot belly
So warming just looking at it.
We have a combustion wood heater which my cat is in love with and very territorial with.
Sits and watches the whole process of getting the fire started.
I am sure he is keeping scores.
Great that you are achieving so much in your very own nest.
So important for our wellbeing.
Look after yourself in all aspects as best as you can. That is all that any of us can do.
With t hat mindset I think we head in the right direction.
My life is still throwing challenges as with most of us.
I am learning something about myself every day though and have shifted within.
Intriguing stuff.
Take care

Thanks @Sophia1 yes, cat can tell if fire going and is prone to drop in for a few hours til Cat World calls him back. Going to save your post. Succumbing to negativity lately.

Hard to hear that @TAB
It can sneak up unexpectedly.
You probably already know this but if lost in the negativity.....tap into what brings you most joy in the real world.
not the world of humans!
Environment.
History
Not necessarily memories.
Might help.
Helps me
Thank you for saving my post.
Hear from you when you have the energy. I do understand and care.

@Sophia1 you're very insightful and notice a lot - keep your beautiful energy
@TAB your home is a wonderful space you've made, right with ur beautiful and sweet cat. so impressed with how you turned it from a house to a home.
@Appleblossom hello friend 🙂
@Jynx hope you're doing well out there
@Sophia1 i've had my own privacy issues here, and am less comfortable coming on line. I also wander, having had a few posts edited for mentioned a specific hospital / public service - why it is okay to discuss Spectrum here? I've had privacy issues with people discussing specific treatments, clinicians, and times at Spectrum, which feels tbh aainst the same policy we are moderated for 😞 i also don't think its in consumer inerest as this can confuse people who are attempting to make informed choices - online is really dangerous and without tone or a "face" to a recommendation, it can be risky for people to recommend specific orginsations. I suffered greatly from some misinformation sourced on this website.
@Appleblossom i'm enjoying my DBT group atm and have a really good care team. I have 2 doctors 🙂 I have suffered abandonment from my previous Dr, who chucked me out, but i have two now who really care. I've also learnt that I am open adn try share frmo my haert -sometimes this hasn't been so safe in mental health settings. That isn't on me. That means that others haven't held my vulnerability safety.
I have a few lovely NDIS workers, and am interstate currently doing my DBT program, which I love 🙂

I agree with your concerns.
They have affected me also
I had this problem before I visited less as well
Some subjects should have trigger warnings
It can depend on the author as to what possibly is not so closely scrutinised
Yes put you first. It is not you. We all have our own protection intuition. Trust it as it is helping you stay safer

You are doing well DBT can be intense I was told years ago . My needs are different.
Enjoying the course is testament to your courage and strength
