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

It's like we can close a box on the early childhood ...... Things like : a dream I had flying down the street.....
Will always stay with me
Or when I was about 3 I still remember holding onto a hand under my bed...... I put my arm in between the bed and wall and pushed my hand down and a hand comforted me.
Or when I was trying to design furniture for my dolls house.
It's a really hard thing to do but could this be an idea....... To be able to say .....
This was my experience but I broke out and walked away......
I dunno ..... I need some help here....

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

ThAt wonderful Peter Bullimore a MI advocate from England says you don't need family,

Is your Dad selfish ? Getting in touch with his sister who he's hated, asking his children for money ....... Hmmmm

I am giggling here in Perth ...... Your chickens are your children !! Of course !
Arlo is my baby .....

I wish some of us could catch up for a coffee ....

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

I might look up Peter bullimore 🙂
My daughters teacher didn't believe that she doesn't have any family other than me and her dad and she rarely sees his parents.
She came and asked me about it and I explained but I felt so guilty like I'm letting her down in just another way and that the teacher was just so shocked I felt like a freak! Oh well.
I wish we could catch up irl for a cuppa too!
@chookmojo you are inspirational in your story one day I'll write my story out - we have a fair bit in common and I especially relate to the fundamentally badness that you felt ... I feel it and just "know" that I'm flawed in the deepest most irrevocable way.

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

dear dear @Former-Member
That Teacher is flawed talking to your daughter like that !
Peter Bullimore, Ron Coleman, that lady who's name I've forgotten ......

What I like about what he writes is that .... Speak of your Mi !

I'm a little humbled by @chookmojo

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

my problem is that I can't cope with bad endings. Everything needs to be happy.
@Appleblossom I haven't forgotten you. I looked up Bowlby..... I read him over 10 years ago ...... How interesting .......
You are definitely more clever than me @Appleblossom ......

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

@Former-Member
I've got to keep on remembering that your age when I also didn't like myself. I even saw therapists who didn't like me.
Can you accept our care to you ?

I must say @chookmojo
Your story is so ..... Rounded. It's not .... Emotional or judgemental.
I just wanted to point out that someone taught you to choose your husband
But ..... You might have already worked it out

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

I read your message couple more times @chookmojo
How does someone like me ...... Forgot to read my GPs instructions and messed up my meds for three weeks ..... Full time carer for Mr h. Do this without .... Doing last 2 paragraphs ?
It's a very creative approach this is why I like it so much
Do I need someone like my h. To do it with me ?

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Dear @PeppiPattyyou are active and aware about lots of MI issues ... I am glad you figured out your mistake rather than get too sick or out of whack ...

An Australian organisation I belong to is connected with the John Bowlby Centre in the UK ... his insights into attachment are very relevant to me and all of my siblings ...so I think about and reflect ... and chew the cud ... I am not interested in when something was published and all the latest and greatest ... cant afford it ... so just plod along ... making my little observations ...pleez no comparisons and cleverness competitions ... I only read 2 of his books about 7 years ago ... not everything he wrote I agree ... he had an appendix slamming home schooling .. not that I wanted to home-school ... it was thrust upon me ... the assumptions he was dealing with in postwar London influenced his judgements ... context means so much.

I was impressed by @chookmojo clarity and story ... and I like looking up things that are posted on the forum ... it brings me a little up to date ... I am a better late than never type ... I also like how sometimes it is feelings ... sometimes it is knowledge or information ... sometimes it is stories and situations that we share ...

It is all valuable.

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

DeAr @Appleblossom

I'm a little humbled by the experience of others online
And that Sane Forums, an online stop for Mi is working so well
okay @Appleblossom I'm going to the GP. Tomorrow to tell her that this is it. I'm never ever going to change my pills ever again.
I had an ultrasound last week and my uterus is twisted. So maybe Ille find out what that means too.
What I like about you @Appleblossom Isabella is that you know me. I feel special in this.
Feelings lol. Yeah .... But to have a gift of music ...🐷🐺🐖🐔🐇🐮🐭🐶🐲🐳🐪🐤🎶🎻🎹
My oh my. I remember being a bit thrilled by Bowlby but I also liked very much Fairbairn who clearly wrote on how Freuds theories were so out of synch.
