Hi all
I’ll be spending some time away from the forums since I’m not doing so good, no safety concerns, but I think I’m just simply too much for everyone here on the forums. My emotions are too much. May brain is too much. I don’t want to drown people in my pain, everyone is better off with me off the forums. I hope our paths cross again. Will say goodbye and wish you all the best. Sorry for being a pain

I think there are lots of us who are not getting all the notifications @creative_writer
I'm sorry you are feeling that way hon. It was good that you could work from home today. Hard to go into work when feeling like this.
Can understand the low mood but at the same time our brain is racing.

I'm glad you are safe for now, but perhaps you could try to slow everything down @creative_writer
Can you just concentrate on the next 10mins or so. Just concentrate on getting through that time. Maybe you can do something or watch something, to try and slow things down a bit.

@creative_writer absolutely legit, feeling overwhelmed/dysregulated makes it that much harder to be decisive and know what you want. I hope the meds kick in swiftly for ya hun. Don't forget your breathing 😉💜

@creative_writer oh for sure, I hope tonight brings you some very restful slumber!
Hmm well the only way to determine if he's a good fit would be to meet up and get to know him - which of course, you don't have to do if you don't want to. As for loss of independence well... In my experience, healthy relationships foster a healthy independence, where each person is there to support and encourage, but not to choose or control. If he does stuff that feels controlling, well you know he's not a good match.
