Thank you for everything you've done for me, you are very kind.

DO you have any way to get the thoughts out of your head ... and out ... onto paper or some other medium?
This is a great idea @Lee71
And don't worry, I've never seen it written anywhere that you like dogs. It's nice that you do, though.
Just makes me paranoid, I'm very paranoid anyway. I love dogs

I actually hadn't realised until today that you suffered with paranoia 😞 @Lee71
I like dogs too, although I can be scared of some dogs...

I know, Lee, and I'm so very sorry.
I think it's no wonder you are broken, after a lifetime of abuse. 😞

No, I think there is always healing possible.

Re: checking in
It was way back in introduction thread where you said 3 things about yourself.
@Lee71
It just helps open up getting to know people and not only get stuck in feeling there is no hope.
I mostly like other people's dogs, and yes dont like some.
It helped me to look at art, but only after a lot of getting the whirling thoughts out of head enough to be actually able to see ...
There is an idea .. we are all wounded healers.

What if you could spend more time around dogs? They bring love. Shelter dogs need love and walking by volunteers (once Covid restrictions ease). But they give back more love than they get. That's one way to get a bit of healing, that I know of... Being validated and listened to in therapy is another.
What do you think? @Lee71
