Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

Can I join the Plonker gang too please? I made my 1st ever natural lip balm from a Neal's Yard recipe,but I poured most of it on the floor! Some of it made it into 2 lip balm tubes! It has solidified , it looks and feels like lip balm,but I didn't put enough flavouring in it so it tastes a bit bland.

Hey squishables!

Hope you're all feeling a bit better.

I've agreed to do another 'turn' for charity on 30th April for the niece of one of the comedy group - there's a meeting next week and we can probably discuss it then.

I've booked a night in a local hotel as it finishes at 23:30 and I don't want to be travelling from out near Solihull to Wolves at that time of night.

Therapy is hitting multiple raw nerves.

After the last session, I went home to binge too. I've had 8 sessions and there are definitely 12 and can possibly go on to 14.

The therapist is 'nice' and seems to get to the root of problems very quickly.

As I've had 'basic' CBT before, we can skip over much of what I've gone over before and go on to more in depth stuff.

There's still no definite answer as to whether I can give up taking the ADs eventually or at all.

Got to go, work beckons....

This being awake still thing is pants.
Someone came to visit, helped herself to tomcat food, rubbed everywhere gave me a kiss and sulked at being told to go home.

Girls have driven boo mad, this means he's up, down, up, down, snifffffff, whimper, wiggle. So the three occasions I was going to sleep the little casanova woked me up.

Were you hoping for some photos of Yogi and Boo Boo Pyxis?

Sunny here, but cold.

Morning Shipmates,

Nice and sunny here but there was a frost.

Going to put some washing out in a min and start another wash.

Melly, I did look at the Cinderella syndrome. I don't need a man, I manage on my own. And if I can't do something or get someone to help then I pay someone to do it.

I have always had my own life. And money. Its more about about lack of company (friends) than a romantic relationship that I need in my life.

I am happy most of the time on my own. If I needed a man in my life I would have just picked anyone and been a relationship and conned them out of all there money and made them do up my house while I sat at home doing nothing.



Yours

Calley

Aw, big hugs Calley. That is quite a thing to realise. There are lots of people who have been previously hurt really badly who are stuck between two sides of a coin, on the one hand they really want to love and be loved (who doesn't?), but at the same time are terrified of being hurt again so they choose people that it would never work out with to keep themselves safe from further hurt. There is this constant push and pull situation, wanting something desperately but being too scared of it failing to try. So they have these little relationships instead that are hopeless but alleviate a little of the loneliness, which then of course go wrong confirming that they were going to hurt again after all. It is a very painful circle, have another hug.

I find it very hard if people don't reply to me too. Be it in email, texts or on forums, particularly if I am already feeling shaky and upset. It can make me feel very rejected and as if all of my bad thoughts about how worthless I am, how pointless I am and how generally horrid I am are true. It doesn't take much to get the old self-hatred tapes playing. All we can do is remind ourselves that we are worthwhile, that other people have things going on in their lives and sometimes that people simply mess up! We all do!

Typed a long post, hit the wrong button and lost it! Arggghhh

I'm one of the hurt before people. It makes it impossible to have anything approaching a relationship with someone as I have far too many walls up to allow people to get too close. I've fought long and hard to regain my confidence and self esteem, too long to stop thinking of myself as being worthless to give all that up and risk someone else doing it to me. I just don't want to 'give' myself to someone again in that way just in case and so of course, it means I don't take the risk in starting even a 'light' relationship.

I have tried, approx 5 years after my marriage broke down, I ended up in a relationship with an old friend...both of us had fancied the other rotten in our teenage years. In the end, it didn't work out because I wouldn't/couldn't allow him into my life fully, in over 2 years, he never even entered my house, that was a bridge too far for me to allow. He wanted more, I couldn't give it to him.

I say I am happily single now and I am. It has taken me a long time to realise that I don't need a man to function, that I am capable but at the same time, I also miss the cuddles (autistic kids - they don't do cuddles), the someone to talk to, to enjoy days out with from time to time.

I watched Tuesday's episode of The A word yesterday. I was very interested to hear about the Fever Effect, where autistic children who develop a fever often display a lessening of autistic behaviour.

This effect is currently being studied.
