Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Hi @chookmojo

When I write : 5 minute space I may have been writing of my own ...... Self ........ I can't take too much in and always need 5 minutes to let my mind re connect with what's happening.

Can't remember everything but that something you are ' diagnosed with' is Autistic spectrum.

But since I've known you, you seem to be highly intelligent .......

I need to just look up something you wrote about your Mum just a tic .....

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Feel free to share anything or not about your addictions, @PeppiPatty. I'm always interested to hear your story. You have overcome a lot and are such a spirited clever person. I'll get to the people who have supported me eventually I think... Just don't want to write so much about myself at the moment.

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Yeah....... understand ......
You've been very very .... Revealing .
Well like @AlienBP2 I love chocolate and sweet things
Yummy. By some absolute fluke of the universe and liberal amounts of rose hip oil ..... My skin hasn't suffered too much.....

I have been addicted to ..... This
Is weird ..... I think very damaged people on drugs but not used them myself ..I think is an overhang from being a teenager but also how I was feeling like by my parents

I'm addicted to feeling love esp. When my youngest son got really ill. That means I needed to have a 'boyfriend,' esp. When things got really hard.

But they were with very self involved nasty males.

When Gavor Mate talks about power I felt like at last ..... I can start understanding why I keep on getting myself into fixes with friends/ family who like showing their power

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

@PeppiPatty That makes sense with the people around you in life and how your early life might tie in with it. I relate to being addicted to love too.

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Good point @Mazarita about negative experiences teaching us to being better able to move into the future.

I also was in Love with Love however it is defined.

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

In the last week I have been watching lots of youtube on Immunology, Cancer Biology and currently reading Peter Cohen's dissertation on "Drugs as a social construct".

I guess watching the Hari ted talk gave me some pointers ... and I can forgive him for being a little messed up if he was waking up druggies when he was a little kid. ... thanks for lead @PeppiPatty

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

@AppleblossomI have to vote in the local council by-election and will walk there with a friend who has a new motorized scooter and is very nervous about going in to vote. Then probably visit with her for a while afterwards.

@PeppiPatty Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Appleblossom already told me hers.
