Oh @Cuddlebear hearing you about the forum being quieter. I also am pulling back a little, and not logging on daily, as I was for a while. In some small ways I am feeling supported socially, however there are also bigger issues, and losses I have to endure, involving legal stuff for a loved one. I am devastated that the world has been so harsh to him, but have to keep plowing on.

Have a felt the tapering has settled a bit. Did you ever look at the taper clinic.

It would be still hard as meds penetrate the fibre of our total being. Take care of you.

@PeppyPatti lovely to keep seeing you over all these years. Yes, my mother did not care if I was being bullied, it was part of the reason I left home young. She never cared, although we did put her on a pedestal. I have made excuses for her, and forgiven and all that, but the consequences for the ongoing family are not good. So now, I feel I was premature in my forgiving, and should have been more vocal and strong about it, and less conciliatory. I just cant help the way I am wired.

@Bunniekins @MissGremlin @Rosepetal96 Hey ho

@Mustang67 yes, we dont know how the queen really looked at the end. Still its good to have closure on certain things, and maybe thats how it can be accepted?

Hello @Appleblossom sweet. Been thinking about you alot lately, especially cos of the situation I'm in once again and the support you were for me last time until I had to shut my old account down. Anyway hope you have a lovely day sweetheart ❤️.

@Appleblossom hey Apple hope you are doing okay. just had eldest son over which was great. he is doing so well. am very proud of him. love bun xx

@Appleblossom Hello lovely how are you?

I am glad that in some ways you’ve been feeling more supported socially. That makes me happy for you. I’m sorry about these legal issues. It’s hard with this stuff but I’m really hoping you get a good outcome.

I am still tapering. It’s difficult. I’ve seen a few things re taper clinic. Some good advice but most of the things they suggest are not available where I am. But it has helped me to understand why the taper is so brutal.

What do you have on today?

@MissGremlin Hello lovely how are you? I’m doing my best with the overwhelm. All the affirmations are so good.

@Cuddlebear

yes, there is one thing reading and being theoretical about it, tapering, and another feeling, living and experiencing it, on and on. take care

I have an online psychologist and support worker coming.

An online meeting about "abolitionist perspectives" through a MH practitioner network

and a support worker, with who we wil go to a meal with, with my son. however this support worker is going back to his country of origin for a few months so i dont want my son to get too attached, as i am not sure how committed he is to Australia. I just cant believe how much overseas travel people do these days. It feels excessive, and habitual, even addictive, when many struggle with cost of living issues. I loved travel in my younger years, and went away for a year, so I can see value in opening one's eyes to othe cultures and geography, but not left the counry in over 40 years.

Hello my sweet @Bunniekins, hope you've had a lovely day. Love you beautiful ❤️.
