I am lonely.... (& my psychiatrist is "very concerned about my social isolation" - I don't like her persistant suggestions to make "friends" in the 'real' world.....)
Hi @Shaz51, hope you are finding good moments today. I too have been thinking about @aButterfly. Sending both of you hugs.

Re: Hello - I'm back.....
Hi @Mazarita - hmm, I thought I replied to the message you wrote on 29th April... How was your trip? Any beach walking?
Sorry both @Shaz51 - I saw messages on 3rd, but I've been really unwell with withdrawals - lots of chest pain, anxiety & panic - which has resulted in an increase in the paranoia AGAIN
Also, my partner is nearly always using my laptop & I find it much harder to navigate here on my phone.
How are you 2 lovelies??
Namaste,
Anna

Hi @aButterfly
nice to see you again 🙂 did your ring come yet? Are you happy with it?
Sorry to hear about the withdrawals and paranoia 😞 hope that they ease up...

Hi @Former-Member
Ring took about a month to arrive - it is beautiful...
Cats are happy... One is sleeping in a box we got today, which had a small heater in it... Very cute...
I feel terribly unwell... I don't feel I'm doing much right at all... I'm spending too much money & I'm behind in my health insurance... Also, my pharmacy account is high again. I feel like I'm drowning... I can't really cope with the paranoia, but somehow manage to survive... I keep feeling like I'm losing my mind all over again... And a lot of issues I have with hygiene and needing certain clothes clean is making me feel I have ocd tendencies... Spending money I shouldn't feels like hypomania... I feel so much, that it is terribly painful to talk about all my fears

Hugs @aButterfly - hearing how much you have going on. Money is so hard 😞 I wish that i could help more than to say that im hearing how hard it all is. I'm glad your ring arrived and that it's beautiful 🙂
