@Former-Member  oh I see your cat is branching out into other talents.  You better be careful you know the weights are only being lifted because plots are being hatched? 😛 

Regarding study.  You know it's funny that.  I used to be unable to concentrate for even 10 mins. well less at first,  But now, I think because it is only me, that's the one area I can turn to nowadays to escape. 

If someone suggested it before I'd have told them no way would or even could it ever happen.  But thankfully I have that now. It's other people that are my problem, think that's related to my anxiety to go out. Not sure if it's a chicken or egg situation, but I see it's related.   Oh well.

@CheerBear  Hello funbear, hope you are doing ok.  Good to see you. I'd know you anywhere.

@Former-Member  Just after getting all the bird poop out, think I stood under an elephant. 😛

Hope you are doing ok too @Spookytookims. I think I'd know you anywhere too (the name is a bit of a hint though). I am really to sorry to see a bus hit you badly, not that a hit from a bus isn't ever going to be bad. A whirlpool nearly drowned me. Hope things get better for you really soon. And it's good to see you too 🙂 The new avatar is really cool by the way

Yes, very talented cat @Spookytookims 😂
Weights look a bit heavy, lol. Gotta keep strong, hey?
Speaking of weights, I only use 1kg weights and still get toned. Was amazed, don't need heavy ones. 😀

That's great you have your studies. I'm not great with studying these days. Wish I was. 😊

Was wondering where you disappeared to @CheerBear 😊
Thought you were having a break. Can get overwhelming on here at times.

I've learnt to try and not to talk "heavy stuff" late at night on here. 😀

[Former-Member]

Glad you came back @CheerBear
😙👍

[CheerBear]

Yeah I took a couple of days space and almost disappeared for good from here but decided to try one more time, this time with a few lessons learnt. My psych often says that he wishes I didn't have to work things out the hard way. I prefer to call it learning best by experiencing haha.

Oh well, it is what it is. I've found some cool happy places here and plan to spend most of my forum time on them 🙂

Cooler weather is much nicer for exercise I think too!

[Spookytookims]

@Former-Member  I've learnt this is only a forum for a certain type. Regardless of time of day.

[Former-Member]

I disappeared a while back too @CheerBear @Spookytookims I think for approx a week or so.
Decided to try again, this time with more care, if that makes sense.

I used to go on heaps of threads and try and encourage people. Realized it was dragging me down. Can't "save" everyone. 😕💟

[Spookytookims]

@Former-Member  yes.  It's a minefield alright.  Humour is a no no, encouragement is a no no, relating your own story is a no no.  Doesn't really leave much except ...  well what it leaves.

[Former-Member]

Sorry it's been tough on here for you @Spookytookims 😙💗
I understand. It can be a bit that way at times.

[Former-Member]

@Spookytookims my goodness. starting to think its the places you stand in that gets you in trouble with mess in your hair??

Hugs to all of you with some difficult experiences on the forums... it is a unique space and one that takes some getting used to and learning how to protect ourselves in a range of ways. (from other people... giving too much, vicariously sinking lower with other peoples stories etc)
I'm very glad you're all here though! Group hug!
