Re: Riding a wave
@Catcakes if you are ever trying to be supportive of someone who is weary of being pregnant, you could always tell her that it's a good thing she isn't an elephant: https://www.livescience.com/33086-what-animal-has-the-longest-pregnancy.html.

Ha Ha. @Phoenix_Rising... if you used that line about an elephant to an overdue expectant woman you had better be prepared to jump backwards because , feeling like an elephant already she may kick or trample you 😳
@Catcakes And now you have a better sense of why I struggle with interpersonal relationships in the real world!

Re: Riding a wave
I understand very well the reasons why some people struggle with relationships in the real world having grown up very close to people who do.
It’s not your fault that the world is a confusing place, it’s the workd’s job to be understanding, supportive and inclusive.
I’m really hoping that in some sections of society, there is some improvement.
Lucky for you , that you were also gifted with intelligence, resilience and a great sense of humour. Keep sharing with us PR,
We need to learn ...

Re: Riding a wave
Good night Forum Land. It's time for me to snuggle into @CheerBear's pocket. I have had an annoyingly unproductive day today, but I will try again tomorrow. On the bright side, I did get a bit of the next installment of the DBT adventure written. If I can avoid getting squished by any buses, I will hopefully have it ready sometime this week.
It's TTT-eve. I like this Thursday then Tuesday appointment thing. It really reinforces to me that ideally, I would see TTT twice a week for a while. But alas, I am too scared of not knowing when victim's services might stop funding sessions, to risk using them up that fast. I emailed TTT today and I told her how I feel like I'm trying to bail out the Titanic with a teaspoon while water is still pouring in.
I so badly wish that I and everyone in Forum Land could get the help we really need. I hate the way everything comes down to money. I find it so sickening seeing people constantly being told to use their coping skills, rather than being actually helped to heal. I find it so invalidating when people tell me to distract and to just get through today and that these things take time. It has been TWENTY TWO YEARS. Exactly how much more time should it take!
@Former-Member I superly duperly like seeing you appear in the evenings. It's always such a nice surprise. Do you have your binoculars tonight so that you can keep a good watch over the ocean? Superly duperly big thank you for keeping watch.
