How is everyone? I'm making fruit spritzers for everyone who's in the warmer winter areas and proper hot chocolate for everyone else.
I want to cuddle the dog in my friends yard but it's a flea bag 😞 I don't want to feel alone.

Hey @Former-Member I often dont know what to say, so press the support button a lot. Love the idea of cool drink ...
@TheVorticonThe (in)visibility dichotomy has been big for me too. Key for me is ambivalence and part of my attachment style. Which "a" word? They are both important.
@Lostandalone @Maggie @NatureLover So good to have you around feeling warmth and giving encouragement.

a hot chocolate would go down and absolute treat here right now @Former-Member
I really wish I had a dog to cuddle... flea bag or not.... but alas... a stffed cow and a stuffed llama are all I have.... at least the cow is a heat pack... so I can warm her up ( her name in Moo-nerva) and she keeps me toasty

Thank you all 😊 love the puppy love 💓
@TheVorticon sorry you're having such a difficult time with your psych. Push & pull is more me going through the spectrum from hating avoiding to being needy and scared someone will leave hurt me, my psychs know that and help me through. Doesn't make it any less intense but it's 'easier' to manage, it's a hard process. I can get very angry and let them know that and do pick up the pieces after now and I've had many embarrassing (which they shouldn't be) times when I had to 'be vulnerable' and admit how scared I am. It took years to get here. I do psychoanalysis and the relationship with my psychs is the base of the therapy or something like that. Attachment is a big part of it. I don't know the terms for stuff like that, but I know it has to do with attachment. And also about boundaries.

Morning all
one step forward... five steps back
thats how it all feels
just when I think I am doing ok.... another wave hits me
i feel so needy.... I don't want to be a burden.... others have greater problems than I do.... I need to get over it and move on but I can't.... my mind is racing.... I feel like I have run out of tears..... I want to cry.... I want to scream.... I want to run away.... I want to sleep forever.... I just want to feel normal
sorry gang ... just having a moment
