im so excited by your message @Oaktree that I lost a big long reply.
Just a tic, I'm walking to the coffee shop with this cute little dog and I'll sit down....
peanut is happy.
We are getting his haircut today.
I casually used the wren app this morning @Oaktree but it was lovely using first instructions for the day so paid up.
Thanks @tyme
So at the beginning of Sane forums it felt very different than it is now. Does anyone remember nic nic and cherry bomb and Farenzi ? It felt like after so so many years - someone cared about being very vulnerable. I'm t was personally overwhelming for me. Almost too much.
I made many mistakes.
But today - I'm sure @Appleblossom etc will agree -
@TAB
It's like @Ru-bee @tyme @Lauz etc
Are so much more approachable
Phew.

you motivated me @Oaktree
I paid 64 and I'm in today.
I'm going to show my therapist today.
She said she's just seeing a 23 yr old girl who has a mother similar to mine.
I'm going to tell my therapist that @tyme suggested the finch app.
After all these years - I'm completely aware that mum lies to me. Thank goodness. It's very freeing how I'm living my OWN life. It's taken so many years to understand how a mother could bully me out of my home.
@Former-Member @TAB
When we speak -- mums called a few times - she's BLAMING me for what's happened in my life !! I feel @Oaktree @ENKELI @Glisten
Standing with me. I don't feel alone.
@MissGremlin told me that.
When I woke up this morning - Minty my finch said get up, wash my face brush my teeth.
It was great.
I realised something about Sane forums too.
Did you know - I don't know if anyone will remember or agree with me -
It was very raw when Sane began.
The moderators today are definately best of the best
Round of applause from Sane Forum clients which I am one --

I had tooth number 9 removed yesterday
Had anyone gone for the paid version of the finch app? Or just sticking with the free?

@PeppyPatti I'm sorry your mum did that to you, families can be so toxic, my mother and family did the opposite, me being an open book and affected by workplace PTSD, depression & anxiety, believed their lies and deception and I allowed them to poison my mind, my relationship and my life. Everything was destroyed and they're off in the distance with a false impression that they have me under their power again, to use and abuse as they see fit. This is why I'm building in secret so they don't know where to attack.
It warms my heart to read that you've survived all that was thrown at you.
OMG!!!! PUPPY!!!
I'll second the round of applause to the mods and everyone behind the scenes that makes this forum happen. As a former charity worker myself, I know first hand how confronting some peoples stories, situations and lives can be, thankyou for having the strength and perseverance to continue helping us all.
I can only imagine the number of lives saved and changed for the better as a result of everyone's efforts!

Oh my gosh @PeppyPatti
I loved reading your message.
I just stayed with the free version of finch. There is a lot of stuff that I can use anyway. I love Sane and third what you said about the moderation team. Definitely best of the best. They have probably learnt and evolved over time. I have only been with Sane 4 years so don’t know what the early days were like. Your puppy is so cute. I want a cuddle!

Not feeling very motivated today, hopefully the day improves. Y'all have a good day 💐❤️

@avant-garde oh wow, it's not nice is it? I hope the extractions have gone to plan, I had dry socket with one of my teefs, it was horrid.
Are you going to get implants, a plate, dentures? I am looking at getting a plate and using my super to pay for it.
Look after yourself sweetie, tooth pain is the worst xoxo

@ENKELI dentures
This one hasn't hurt at all, I don't remember the others much
