Fragile

So glad you had a wonderful evening @Appleblossom, and good company found good company ….. 😊👍💕

I am so impressed, that sounds really rewarding.

I can absolutely see that you work hard. @Appleblossom

You seem to be doing a wonderful job of modelling connection, creativity, and a real sense of tenacity.

What have you been working on today? 🤩

Also, what instruments do you play/what is your vocal style and range? And do you have a preferred techique? 🎶

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope

it’s still tricky socialising for me. Maybe I would feel better in the more arty scene, as classical music has a lot of triggering aspects in its snooty parts. That concert remains a good memory, although I got badly triggered on Saturday. I had trouble concentrating on the long drive home, and then woke up agitated, despite a reasonable med for the night. I my social life is flip flopping, but at least I have one now. When I first met you, although I went to rehearsals etc. I had zero friends. Our online contact has helped. Especially you and @Zoe7

We are all a work in progress. Hope your creative practice is going well and helping keep demons at bay.

Today I was on strike. Stayed in my dressing gown, but worked on a creative writing piece. My only appointment was a psychologist. I am very glad to say she is doing good work. I have only seen her for a couple months, but she integrates my content, reflects back well, and we are on the same page regarding psychotherapeutic approaches. I have my own training in the field, but have often put up with less than adequate care, for a few reasons. So it gives me hope to have a good one.

I think you are a good one too, as you tailor your responses well, to me and others.

@Till23 over here, if you want to talk, the 2 of us. Don’t worry @AlwaysMyself seemed to get it, and valued our interaction. I have done enough group work theory and practice to have a sense of how that happens. Groups are interesting, but less predictable than one to one stuff.

Glad you understand about litters. Cos my family of origin and family of creation were so complex, I found it easier to use the relatively neutral behavioural patterns in our pet litters, with my son, than talk about his sisters, or behaviours in the family.

@AlwaysMyself this is my thread over here. You are welcome to join in and converse and post. Nobody owns a thread, but a respect for the original poster in a thread emerged as the forum evolved.

@Appleblossom very happy to call you a friend Hon - it may just be here online but it matters. You have come a very long way over the last few years and it is always a delight to hear of the connections you are making outside of the forum. Sorry to hear about the triggers on the weekend but I hope you are feeling a lot better now 🥰

Hi @Appleblossom thanks for inviting me to your thread. I don’t one hundred percent know what to say. I am unwell and I don’t want to bring anybody else down with that, so I feel the less posting I do the better. I’m not deliberately shunning anyone. I can say that I won’t be around on forums nearly as much. I need to sort out a lot of things.
Thanks though

@Appleblossom Good morning. I hope today is going well for you. Thank you for tagging me here 🙂 I didn’t know which thread was yours/the one you started but it’s really nice to be invited over.

@Till23 Do what you need to do. It was good to meet you. Please don’t be too hard on yourself. We can only do our best. Personal responses do make a difference. At the beginning of posting on the forum, I tried to personalise most of my posts. Little phrases …
