My special place

Watching the footy too @Eve7

Last time I had ect it helped, so hoping this time is the same.

I don't think you are weak at all hon. In fact the opposite. I think you are one of the strongest people I've ever known. To go through all you have been through, most would have given up. Instead you have persevered and kept going. You have not let it beat you. Yes there have been some down times, times where you probably felt like giving up, but you didn't.

I look at you and think if she can do it so can I.

Thanks @Snowie you are very kind. I’m watching the NRL and I suppose you’re watching AFL….still it’s all footy 🏉

S1 just sent a pic of them at the Outback Spectacular. They look so happy and I think they’ve both found the right life partner.

@creative_writer so yeah, it has triggered shame within you, so it's an unhelpful narrative for your recovery, and you can safely ignore it. I mean, why is it that this one psychologist's assessment of an 'overreaction' has to be the correct one? I don't think it is at all tbh

Ugh, more aro/ace erasure. You can ignore this entirely hun, I am living proof that it simply isn't true.

You can blame you, and her. Or in other words, neither of you deserve blame. It sounds like there's just some clashes within your respective value systems that are not lending themselves to a sense of trust and safety, resulting in you needing to withdraw. Maybe the psych was a good fit at the beginning, but that may have changed, or perhaps your needs have changed, that's all.

She certainly is company @creative_writer especially when no one else is home. I can't imagine my life without her now.

@Eve7 I don't see it as kind, more like the truth. I know how hard it is to see it within ourselves however.

Yes watching AFL here. You are right, it is all footy!

I think when you find that person you know it. I'm so glad that they have found each other.

I really do think that pets help with mental health @creative_writer

So many studies out there that back this up.

She does help with my MH especially with my anxiety.

You are right, they are cheaper!!

Would certainly be interesting research @creative_writer

I feel like I am betting everything on this hospital stay helping. I'm scared about the what if. What if it doesn't help.
