Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

Can you tell me how to make that smilie on my phone too please @Zoe7? 🙂

Re: Riding a wave

The smiley comes from the drop-down box at the top of the text box @CheerBear when you are on a PC. What kind of phone do you have?

Re: Riding a wave

It's an android @Zoe7. I have all the fancy ones on my phone, but often type them in still. Just curious that's all. 99% of my foruming is via phone.

The pic has the waiting to be approved sign now. It's a good sign. Wondering how many other images I've missed on the phone/app though 😕

Thanks for the explanation re the smilie (all the important stuff getting sorted now 😉 ) and persevering with the picture 🙂

Re: Riding a wave

Good evening to everyone out here on the ocean. @Vanessa5 it is super nice to see you out here again. I gather you are into art??? I don't have an artistic bone in my body and I super admire people who are that way inclined.

Hi @Zoe7 I am super excited that you are going to buy the DBT book. I definitely don't think we will get too far ahead of you - I know I for one am the slowest reader on Earth! I love that you reframed my sleeping issues as a positive for you. I'm actually wondering if I have caught these issues from you in the first place - I've never really had sleep problems before. The pattern lately is that I can fall asleep fine, but then I'm up and ready to go around 2am. This morning I got up at 4am and had a few productive hours, which made it feel less bad that I crashed after seeing my turtle whisperer. However, I super want to get back into a good sleep pattern - even though I would super love to be your entertainment 24/7! I am going to be super busy over the next couple of weeks as I try to get through my second marking adventure (the assignments arrived this evening), but after that I would love for you to teach me how you do all the amazing pictures.

@CheerBear Your post about my cousin Myrtle made me laugh such a lot. I CAN see where her face is...but to me it looks like I'm looking at her bum. I think perhaps it's because the "me" that I'm seeing might actually be a reflection of me??? To me it looks like I'm behind her. Can you perhaps re-post it (cos I'm too lazy to go back a few pages to look ).

I never knew you did most of your posting via your phone @CheerBear. I hate typing on my phone. I only use my phone if I'm hiding in my bed or if I'm out and about. Most of the time I post from my laptop, sitting at my desk.

Ok, well I'm going to snuggle in my underwater cave tonight, but I think I'll be ready to surface tomorrow. I really am so very grateful for my turtle whisperer (do you get the feeling that M has been re-christened the turtle whisperer!!!), I just wish I wasn't so terrified of losing her again.

Re: Riding a wave

@Phoenix_Rising You know what little turtle - I actually feel like I will be able to read along with you and CB Still waiting to get paid which is stressing me a little but I am trying not to let it worry me atm. As long as it is in by Thursday morning (need petrol to get to my psych appointment - indicator presently sitting under empty )

I am nearly 100% definite that my poor sleeping patterns have rubbed off on you - sorry 'bout that

I would be more than happy to help you out in putting together some images - what kind of computer programs do you have? Any android device I can help with, a Mac I can't!

TW (formerly known as M) is being protected by the imaginary bubble that we are all placing around her just for you little turtle (that is my wish for you anyway!)

Sleep well little turtle
