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.
Feeling fragile
Needing Nurture

Thinking of you and sending lots of love @Appleblossom . I think you've made the right decision in finding a new psychologist by the sounds of things. It's so hard to find a good match. Took me 4 years and 2 states. Have you thought about asking your psychiatrist to recommend someone? That's how I found my current psychologist. Great to hear about the course you've been accepted into as well. Really hoping that you have found a sense of hope again looking forward to that, and that has helped ease the si. xxx

@Appleblossom 
Sometimes the future is just too far away to see
When pain saturates your mind & body
But it's there - somewhere
Lurking in the background, dancing in the rain
There is happiness still to be found again
You may need to be patient, more than quiet
Stationary, still
But I believe in your courage
in the strength of your will.
Calmness for you Appleblossom
