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 ......

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea โ๐
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.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea โ๐
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 ..... โฃ๏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?

Hi @Former-Member
I am lucky - myu cat doesn't interfer with my computer - she jumped on the keyboard of my first internet computer and a crazy bird alarm went off and saved all the computers from then to now
Now this cat looks as if butter wouldn't melt in its mouth - but I know better
Not too many surprises today Teej - have the best you can

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea โ๐
Sounds like you were saved by the bell @Owlunar ๐ 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. ๐๐ค๐
