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

I think sharing safely is what the forums are for and I'm feeling connected to this discussion even though I'm not saying much yet. Lately I've found I need to take a break from going over my past, which I've done a lot at different times, as the last time I did it, as part of a study SANE was doing, it just stirred me up too much for a couple of weeks. But reading these posts I am having plenty of positive memories and also seeing the theme of the need for boundaries in relationships recur, which gives me lots of food for thought. Thankyou all for sharing so personally.

On the autism spectrum ... aspergers syndrome ...

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Cool @eth
What we are trying to do is remember our early childhoods but focus on what supports naturally came to us.
We have all all made mistakes

@Ace85
Thank you for your ... Amazing message. I've been too nervous to ask about University ........
Can I ask you a question ?
When you were ' suffering in silence, ' did anyone notice ?
Also did you watch that awesome ted talk that I or @Maritza kindly posted for me called Johann Hari talking about addiction ?
One more question : do you go to church with your Mum ?
I read somewhere ..... Probably seeing another talk by ..'...' Dare ..... ( forgot his name ) The last ted talk that @Maritza kindly posted on this thread ......
Somewhere I read or saw that the lies we give to our loved ones are ..... I'm okay. You don't need to worry .....

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

I totally agree @chookmojo
That you gotta accept the support !

It took me years and years to accept real support ...... I was so caught up in how I am hated by my mum. Then the sibling rivalry shooting from that .........
How can we speak of accepting support with no agenda And ..... Trusting others ?

It took me many many years not to go to someone without wanting anything

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Yeah I like how Gabor Mate talks about his patients destroying their bodies then switching to the environment ....
