@Zoe7 and @CheerBear, I am snuggled in bed now and I have taken some only-in-emergencies medication (I think tonight counts as an emergency!). Thank you for being you and for being there. Tonight was really really really ultra superly duperly hard, and unmuddling the muddle of whether the rules have changed or not is going to take quite a bit more time. However, that isn't going to happen tonight. Tonight is all about Operation Stay Alive.
The evening was going so well until the storm hit. I was all set to post my post on the DBT thread just as soon as I got my yes or no (you can probably guess that that didn't happen - seems there was other stuff going on tonight 
).
Oh well, this was called practicing what we preach @CheerBear. How did we do? Well the day is ending with my 100% success rate of surviving each day living with BPD still intact, so we must have done pretty well! I am so very VERY grateful that you guys were both here tonight.
I am grateful for other people being around too...I just don't FEEL it...because, well, it's a long story...
Are you ok @Former-Member? Giant storms can be super scary. It's ok though. They always pass. It's quiet and calm and safe in our underwater cave.
And on that note, I'm going to snuggle into my shell in CheerBear's pocket while she snuggles in her blanket in her nest in the inner sanctum in the underwater cave alllllllllllllllllllll the way at the bottom of the ocean. @CheerBear can Squishy, Mr Seahorse, and Dr. Havetodo snuggle in your pocket tonight too? I think I need to debrief with Dr. Havetodo.
All is well. Tonight was HARD, but tomorrow will be here in just over 90 minutes. I am so very glad we don't live on Venus!
Super big thank you for watching over the ocean tonight @Former-Member. I'm guessing it may not have been the most peaceful night for you. 
Good night my awesome not-friend, my super favourite aquaintance in Forum Land and my relatively new you-interest-me-a-lot aquaintance.
Goodnight also to @Shaz51 who I know is flying around and to @Faith-and-Hope who I still super hope to be like one day when I grow up.
Tonight SUPER sucked...but we can try again tomorrow.
Yes tonight did super suck for you but the 100% survival rate is still intact @Phoenix_Rising 
Goodnight little turtle - and a super big WELL DONE for riding the waves tonight (and just to be a real pesky little flutterby - now would be the time to duck...............
)
