Just hello and walking along hoping you get through ...
@Former-Member I loved your name, thread title and opening post. Really spoke to my inner science nerd and traveller ... I have read along part of it, not wanting to intrude, but then felt invited.
Hey
I love boats, row boats, sailing boats and fishing boats but not cruise ships lol.
Not mad on planes but went gliding one weekend and it is still highlight memory. Flying without an engine. The silence is beautiful, well its not completely silent as the wind whips a racket.
Just saying hello.
I am off to exercise and coffee soon.

Hello @LeChuck
sorry to hear about the dark hole that you found yourself in
The seas were quite rough and unpredictable
Seasickness the curse of sailors let alone inexperienced travellers.
Your letter in a bottle floated by the shoreline where I was standing this morning.
I found a random twig and freed your words.
Not sure about the rest of your message. I am about 10 pages behind.
letting you know that I am here for you now.
Cast your eyes away from the moving water and listen to the beautiful music of nature. The sea is always there waiting.

Hello @EternalFlower
It takes me forever to find past posts.
I wanted to respond further about your doctor appointment which was so important for you.
I am thinking that your doctor also recognised you taking charge of your health and making sure that you have a say in this which is so instrumental in helping you continue to move forward in improving your state of mind.
This enables provides opportunities for you to learn strategies to look out for you.
This would be inspiring for him.
Yes I think that he is reassuring you that he wants to take this new journey with you because you are playing the major role in this.
You have this.
New pathways
New movement
New change
Fascinating
Well done Eternal
You can be our inspirer.

Hello @StanD
Stopping by to say hello
How are you feeling today?
I hope that you pushed yourself to brush your teeth
We need our teeth to chew don’t we.
Hopefully you are busy doing something that you enjoy
No I haven’t been busy looking for lost treasure.
Other people’ s treasure is not always mine.
Take it easy and enjoy your day

Hello motion @Former-Member Yes I think you see my sentiments Re Tupper ware. It litters our beaches, and our airwaves.
When I first joined sane, I read a blog called building resilience. Time is right and I would like to thank her in and hope someone who knows this lady, Passes on my thanks. I do hope you are all well.
My Daily Prayer
Thanks that I woke one more day in a bed.
That I'm happy with water and unbuttered bread
When fire and flood take that house and that bed
I'll give thanks to hard ground and a log for my head.
Thanks for all the rocks people throw
They forged me a fortress in a wasteland of snow
To the cowards that paint hurtful words on our walls
The wisdom to not succumb to their calls
To the man who cant walk I give thanks to each leg
To the man who cant see may I never renege
clawed from the yolks of resilient eggs
The man who now fights, now no longer begs. . .
Work and medical stuff piling up so hope its ok I cover a few with one, and if the shoe feels tight. . . toss it. Bless you all. @Appleblossom @StanD @LeChuck @Sophia1

Hi @Former-Member @LeChuck
Hi @Appleblossom welcome here and please stay if you feel comfortable.
Hi @Former-Member Ive been feeling a bit rough. Are you okay? You are kind, thank you. I have been supported by lifeline and my Dr . I am working hard and it is tiring. I am a complicated person who feels very deeply. I felt very moved and held to have someone invite me to be angry with them as my dr did. PS I am taking new meds now and today gor a script. Dr last session gsve me info on them to read, I didn't read it but my current meds are making me feel really out of it, flattened, woozy. I have read people say this med is bit more pleasant.
Hi @LeChuck poor thing I'm sorry U feel so down...it is ok to have bad days. It is hard and tough some days. I am sorry you are struggling. We are here to chat if you feel like it. This space is here for you.

@tonys wanting to hear how you are and know you are safe and well.
Have read your letters here and they sort of interweave and ground this space. I hear you.
I saw my Dr today and he has referred me to a new therapy called EMDR. I feel like I want something new. I keep envisioned somewhere else, some space I can be in, to recover.
He told me my responses have been normal and not to be too hard on myself
I feel like I was so on edge and close to darkness and I was pulled back and grounded. I am completely safe. But darkness still swirls around in my head.

Don't worry @Former-Member , I'm an old hand when it comes to crewing this ship. That's how I know the ladder will fall, I'll pull myself out of the stormy seas, take a deep breath, and go on rolling with the motion of the ocean. Thanks for letting me know you were with me. It helped today. Feels nice to have you on my crew.
