i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Hi @Former-Member
I didn't know you were going through IVF - you are brave - and this whole process will stuff your insides a bit I would imagine - all the hoping and waiting and this and that and now more blood tests - etc - no matter it is stressful
About your therapist - I guess this is something you feel uneasy about - I thought about it for a while - I think that if the therapist tells us something we think they must be right - but if there is an itchy feeling someone in our mind that this idea isn't right - we can tell them that - they might be striking in the dark - or have a different idea of what we think they mean - crossed wires are better discussed
I had to change therapists - and I thought for a while I was okay - until there was a death in the family and found myself floundering - so I sent my old therapist an email - overseas as it happens - and she referred me to someone else and I was really lucky and got a 2 hour apppointment the next day - and this new therapist will be great I think.
My past therapist had to move interstate - not comfortable - this new therapist has an established business and works full time - which is good to know
Anyway - you can talk to you therapist about this - I am not sure what "aspects of Borderline Personality Disorder" might mean - I would be asking for clarification
And I am sure we are all here to support each other through whatever it is we are going through - and what you are doing can't be easy - but you certainly have other things happening
Good work
Decadian

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, and again I wish you the best! I think my confidence may have far to go first, feeling non existent today.

Hi @Decadian
How are you @Decadian ?
Thank you for your message- I find what you have to say really interesting. I will have to think about my therapist but I am lucky to have someone for so long and in manys we are quite similar (therapist). I just have to keep building my life outside of her. If I decide that I could work better with someone else that might be an option.
I hear what you saying about changing therapist because they maybe more helpful or approach mite get another perspective for you- at the end of the day they are just providing a service and you want what is best for you and your healing and recovery.
I have been through quite a bit stress and the IVF has been diffcult but I have to keep moving forward and to make sure I am looking after myself well. I think I am doing ok, I was just wobbly for a few days- lack of sleep and early morning appointments and waiting for results.
I am hoping the weekend, I can have some chill time and do some fun things. Hope you have a nice night.
