I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

I am struggling with having the same advice on something from all quarters but not being able to feel what is right. It’s about trust (if there should be trust) and the gut feeling being different. I know I can’t trust that this feeling is right either. It’s about the process I am going through currently and feeling conflicted with some of it. @CheerBear . That is vague and I’m not sure if anyone can make sense of it. It’s also about my extreme sensitivity to hurting someone (which always is intense for me). Even if they have hurt me I don’t want others hurt by me. I know this is kind of crazy.

Thanks @Sans911 . I’m not sure anyone can. I think maybe most would find it hard to put themselves in my shoes for this. It is one of my quirks and kind of a strength/weakness thing.

Thanks @CheerBear for listening. Perhaps it will be ok eventually. I don’t try to be this way but I just am for whatever reason. Sometimes it must sound so cocky and altruistic but it’s not meant that way at all. I’m having lots of questioning about myself.
I think it might be time for both of us to sleep. I have a big day tomorrow and will need to somehow park it up for the next 36 hours. I hope you sleep better tonight.

Thank you so much for helping me calm my farm last night @CheerBear , @Sans911 .
Ive just returned from my appointment, where I was shaking and thinking over and over 'please don’t be rejected, please don’t be rejected'. I was, I need to lose weight but was given the all clear if I can lose 10kg.....in 3 months 😮. I’m surprisingly ok with it. It’s probably not the worst thing that could have happened. I see my GP tomorrow and I hope we can sort out a plan. The whole packet of kingston biscuits I ate last night (emotional eating) probably didn’t help and possibly resulted in growing more teeth and hair 😜. That appointment is next week.
In relation to the stuff from last night that has come to bite me this morning. I will need to work through it and find a way where I can sit with it without torturing me. I have no clue what that looks like or will be yet.
Hoping your day is ok. 💜🤗

Thanks @CheerBear .
I think that values conflicts cause my biggest distress. Everything has felt so whirlwind that I’ve felt out of control quite often lately.
Maybe it is a good idea for me to write it down. Have you got a good one you could share? Not the one you did 😳 but a site you got yours from. I’m not sure if that is ok to share resources @Former-Member , @Former-Member . I’ve not done it before that I can remember.
