Sending you big hugs @Former-Member ....,, ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’•

Just keep practicing the strategies you have.been taught. You will gain strength in them progressively, and they will help to ground you.

I am glad you went out with your friend today. Friendships are important ......

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope and everyone else

my head is pounding and I had a restless sleep, but I decided to take things into my own hands today and make a cut. I have leant in hospital that there are different circles of people around me, myself, my husband, my close friends, acquaintances... and these people can move in and out of my inner and out circle. And I have learnt to remove toxic people. That is what I will do today. Remove the toxic people.

Yay @Former-Member ..... โฃ๏ธ

It's so sad when we have to do that, but it is definitely part of self-preservation, and part of the path to wellness. I found that the consequences of moving toxic people out of. my life was going to be too much to cope with, and instead I had to learn how to build emotional defenses, and create and hold boundaries. It took a long time, and I had to keep checking and reinforcing baiundaries, but what a difference it makes .... !!

You go girl ..... โฃ๏ธ

Yay @Former-Member

 

Good thinking - get rid of the toxic people in your life and protect those who think of your best interests as well as your own -

 

I have done this - it is not an easy thing to do but we can live better lives without the people who drag us down

Hi @Faith-and-Hope and @Owlunar

it truly is a good thing to do, unfortunately I couldn't do it today. Will have to utilise all my patience + distraction techniques to keep going.

How are you both?

This is kind of how I woke up with my dogs toy on my face wanting to play. Hoping you all have a good day with not too many surprises. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea โ˜•๐Ÿ’•

So cute @Former-Member! Reminds me of my kittens (now technically cats but will always be my little kittens) who cover me in tiny toys throughout the night. When they were new I used to wake up with my ears being attacked as one took a liking to some piercings of mine (ouch!).

Hope today is good for you!

Hi everyone else out there ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ˜Š

Sounds like you were saved by the bell @Owlunar ๐Ÿ˜œ  My dog is good but has no idea of my iPad. I've had it for 4 years now and the only scratches on the screen are attributed to him, but they're not too bad. He's been a good dog in that he hasn't destroyed anything. 

Hoping there's sun shining in your part of the world. It is here which is helping immensely. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’
