Ohhhhh that's embarrassing..I don't remember writing this and I do actually know the difference between melatonin and ice cream 🤣... really loved your reply though... you're essentially a fountain of knowledge
Thank You
You could go and be tested and see what you think. It doesn't change anything either way but may be of interest to you what they say. It may be helpful to learn strategies to help the areas in which you struggle, regardless of diagnosis. Whether you get formally diagnosed or not, this is what...
Would someone mind explaining the difference between melatonin and ice cream to me? Genuine question! I thought they are the same thing...
Old....
Colouring pens or coloring pencils?
I think you can save yourself the questions around was it cocsa or not (although I understand the need to do that - i would) and focus purely on what your body and mind are saying to you now. Mortified, nauseous, guilty, not being able to stop a situation you didn't feel ok in despite saying no...
What you feel is what you feel. It can't be wrong because feelings are our internal gauge and guide. Anger is very healthy in a situation like this. Holding it in for so long can also contribute to the level of feeling. I hope you have good support to work on it to feel better but listen to that...
Thank you so much. It really has been a roller coaster. He's been my life line but having to manage parenting when I'm triggered has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. When he was a toddler I was triggered every day and having to have hidden panic attacks and self harm whilst...
Don't be sorry! Not rambly and it's good to hear from others with similar experience
Couldn't agree more
Not all of me is so good at this. But luckily i am more often than not.
These ae actually really good suggestions. It just so happens that the examples you've given are things my younger...
Such a good video! Really informative...I can't believe I didn't know the road runner is real... it is a very cool species... I was a bit disappointed they didn't show a clip of it running like the one in the cartoon with a wide angled shot!! But its call and beak clattering is very cool ...
I adore animals (such a good thread idea @Dark.Green.Feathers !)... we recently bought our first ever cat - I gave it as a present to my son - and I'm obsessed !! She's a siberian cat and she's also very clever and fairly easy to train. She comes when I call her and she follows me pretty much...
Thank you @Dark.Green.Feathers .. I'm sorry you're in a similar situation and that you recognise those feelings, i hope on the flip side it helps in some small way to know others can understand a bit of what you're going through on some level...
this sounds so incrediblly difficult... away for...
Thank you @WinnieThePoohChris
How to get this message across on the inside!?
I can really relate to all of this. Particularly the second to last sentence. I'm sorry this happened to you.
This takes alot of strength and courage. Well done you... although I imagine it really hasn't been easy at...
Yeah I think you're right. Peers can definitely help. I've always found this forum so helpful for that. Being able to turn to here when there is nowhere else in the world to go to. It's an incredible place to have.
It's complicated in my case atm because of my parts having very different needs...
No need to be sorry for taking it any way. The way you took it was right.... and I really appreciate your reply. It really has helped me feel less alone so thank you.
Thank you... I think she's just very alone. She wants to be able to talk about what's so heavy for her but even before getting to that point, it's like opening Pandora's box just thinking how to do that and the ramifications of it... she wants to be able to speak about things without the threat...
