It's too late now to go through them, and I'm incredibly hot & bothered. But please take Jasper for a cuddle as he's being sooky @outlander. He loves coming onto your lap, then he'll flip himself over so you can stroke his belly. He also likes to pat your lips or chin or knead your chin. He's in bliss when he does this, as he closes his eyes. All yours lil Sis. I'm sure he'll like you lots.

Re: rough time
How does everyone decide what they should do? I know theres pros and cons lists but im still not sure what to do even with it sitting in front of me

Re: rough time
@outlander it's a tricky one when you are faced with needing to make a decision but you dont know what to do. Usually I do pros and cons. I think I then try to work out what heart and brain say (as they can be a bit different), then dig deep and try and tune into and go with gut.
Any heart/brain/gut feelings you might be able to identify and pick apart that could help?

Re: rough time
@CheerBear after doing the pros and cons list my heart said maybe its better to stop but my head says it might be better to stay. It is for counselling and i know most peoples first reaction is to continue to go but what if it isnt helping or i cant keep going and speaking about the same things. In the 2 yrs ive been doing counselling ive barely gotten anything out of it but with everything coming up it might be better to stay but i really dont know. Every time im around people it seems i get lower in mood like today so i dont know if thats playing a part either

Re: rough time
Have you spoken with your counsellor about the way you feel about counselling @outlander? Maybe they're a good one to talk with to try and work out what's right to do.
