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

Yep @eth is right @outlander
but this rally was Thursday. Its history so I hope it alright to mention it.
Two nights ago I could not sleep, so I went shift at zoo on no sleep and worked for 4 hours, then came home and spent most of time on computer. My zoo day was lovely and I had about 15 random lovely moments with people on top of other jobs. Last night I slept fine but could not get up til about 2pm. After haranguing myself for a while, I finally realised I was just getting catch up shut eye. Yes it is the way it has been for a long time for me ,,,, keep going ... rain or shine ... night or day. Even tho many people give me a hard time and are very skeptical if I let myself off the hook. They are usually very HAPPY for me to let them off the hook ..... hmmmm.
