@Former-Member The ocean is relatively calm tonight. I haven't engaged with another human being either by phone or face-to-face since last Friday when I saw my GP. My world is much calmer without human beings muddling it. I never get into any interpersonal muddles when I am by myself.
I feel a bit scared because after I see my GP tomorrow, that will be my last human contact until I see her again a fortnight later. I can definitely see that I am becoming more and more reclusive by the day now. The whole human contact thing just hurts too much.
Anyway, I was just thinking, you probably meander around Forum Land rather than float don't you. Now I have a cool picture in my brain of a super nice river winding through Forum Land and down to the ocean.

@CheerBear I'm glad we could go through the wonky but fun bit together but not. I will post a picture of my new book when I open it. According to the book depository, this book is suitable for people 0-5 years old. Grown ups miss out on all the cool stuff!

Hi @CheerBear! Sorry to hear that you are on a bit of a rollercoaster ride at the moment. I'm so glad that the arrival of @Phoenix_Rising's book made you smile 🙂
@Phoenix_Rising, I'm also glad that the ocean is a relatively calm for you tonight.
I can imagine seeing your GP for the last time tomorrow until you see her again in two weeks would be scary. I'm sorry that human contact hurts. I hope the Forums provide you with support and connection over these next two weeks.
Yes, you are right! Now that I think about it, I would have to have super powers to be able to be a floating river around the Forums. Meandering sounds more my style 🙂

Good night Forum Land.
I'm super glad you are meandering around tonight @Former-Member. I'm going to sleep in @NikNik's nutella jar again. Did you know that NikNik can speak turtle? I'm so glad there are some super special rare individuals in the world who know how to speak turtle.

I am super feeling the weight of how utterly alone I am, right now. I feel scared about the entire world stopping tomorrow. I saw my GP today and spoke with someone in the HC, and now I won't have any support at all until the 2nd of January when my GP is back. That feels super super super scary right now.
This time last year I was completely traumatized by therapist-take-seven having dumped me, and then K's boss sending me a letter just a few days before Christmas, threatening legal action if I ever tried to contact K again.
This time this year my soul has finally completely died, after being dumped by my turtle whisperer. Between then and now:
Yep, my soul has died. There is simply nothing left within me.
Super big thank you for letting me sleep in your nutella jar @NikNik. It super helps me to feel a tinsy tiny bit less alone.
Night Forum Land.

Good morning @CheerBear,
You have no idea how much it meant to me to find your post here when I woke up at 2am this morning. I feel so super super alone, even here in Forum Land. I am so very VERY glad our oceans collided.
I'm also super glad that I get to be with you and your LF, especially at this super tricky time of the year. It was SO exciting that big got the gig!!!! You probably couldn't hear me over all the other cheering, but I was bouncing up and down in your handbag and saying "big got the gig, big got the gig!!!!!"
Wow, Puffer fish has super neat writing for such a little puffer fish!
Oh I can sooooooo relate to Clown fish's fruit/vegetables issue. It made me laugh such a lot that they have that issue too!!!! At my volunteering gig we sometimes play a game where the kids choose a plastic fruit or vegetable out of one tub and then have to put it in one of two other tubs labelled "fruit" and "vegetables." The first time we played it, a kid told a volunteer that a capsicum was a fruit and the volunteer "corrected" him and said it was a vegetable. Of course, I then corrected the volunteer and, well, since then for some strange reason all the volunteers groan whenever it is announced that we are going to play that game. FRUITS HAVE SEEDS IN THEM, PEOPLE, IT REALLY ISN'T THAT HARD!!!!! I would definitely help Clown fish write to the people who make healthy eating brochures for kids. I trust that you will help them, and I hope they discover that they can change the world.
I am super looking forward to spending Christmas with you and your LF. My Christmas eve tradition is to watch the carols on TV and to keep checking the Norad website to see when Santa takes off from the North Pole. I'm not sure what you and the LF will be doing, but I'm super glad I will be there doing it with you.
