For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

Thank you all dear friends
somehow I am still here.
maybe things will slowly right themselves again but for a while I didn’t think it possible
ah dear peppi… nope never listened to an audible
I have my paper books and music… rereading books on Buddhism and making music with people helped

Iv had some exciting news in that I'm getting a guitar teacher 2 hours a week. I'm about 10 years no playing however about 2 years ago I picked up my guitar for about a month and I picked it up sort of reasonably quickly.
You are my friend @Appleblossom
I always feel light when I see you have sent me a message

Dearest @Jacques
I remember you with love and care.
You are important in my past recovery. I’m seeing my Psychotherapist today and as she is telling me about her Grandson who has just gotten a cancer diagnosis I said
” I dunno why your telling me this but I’m working you out I’m just realising after all these years my wellbeing is keeping me strong by making me feel that my past is effective in what your dealing with……….as my son had cancer …..

Lovely to hear from you @Tilz
Oh it’s feels like I’m never going to get there because It’s taken me a long time to accept care from just my carers and then……..I’ve been very overwhelmed
It’s like you just need to plug on isn’t it ? I love owning my mental shortcomings and reviewing them in my mind and moving sideways, …..maybe not forward……taking them to weekly therapy….
