• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

:hug: Ari. I am a little less exhausted ... although not a lot ... I hit my snooze button twice on my alarm this morning, and in 9 minutes somehow I was back into a sleep deep enough to be dreaming. :p Weird. Anyway ... how are you??

And AHHHHH!! I forgot that this is February!! :swoon:

Arnold says many thanks for the bamboo tea and are there any crumpets to go along with it? (Don't ask me how he knows what crumpets are, I think he just likes the word.)

/me gets some coffee, sits down for a moment with Arnold and Ari and whomever else wants to join, and relaxes for a little bit before making breakfast & packing up for uni.

(You know, I hate how the times on this thing are wrong ... it's really 7am not 8am ... oh well. I guess that CF doesn't do daylight savings time [I couldn't even think of the term this morning, I think I'm feeling a bit stupid!!].) (Whoops, that was random ... :sorry: )

/me makes a pot of coffee.......and sits down to contemplate some things.

! I often have the snooze button problem - and in my 9 minutes of snooze time I often dream that I got up .... ....then I get frustrated when I wake up again and am still in bed!

Arnold - you know what!? the coffee shop has a huge crumpet supply, we get a delivery every week, and no one has ever asked for one before!

(i think you can switch on and off the daylight saving if you want to correct your time)


:hug: Allison. I don't get triggered anymore. So the PM offer still stands. :hug:

This is one of those nights that I wish my hair were still dyed black.

...and you can't take back what you've taken away, 'cause I feel you, feel you near me ...

I'm so ... argh.

How are you all? Can I get anyone anything to drink? This is a coffee shop after all, and sipping on something usually helps comfort levels increase. :)

:hug::hug:

Do you really not get triggered anymore?! That is amazing!!!!!!!!!:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

How is everyone? and how is everyone's hair?

:hug: Little Voice, nice to see you back.

Ari, you made me giggle with your last post. :p :hug:

Yeah, I don't really get triggered anymore unless I'm in a really bad place ... I just get bothered ... if that makes any sense? Like on Myspace, I was watching this video about SI, and they actually showed a girl cutting her wrist ... and that definitely sent off a warning signal in my head. Ugh. But it didn't make me want to cut. Whew. :swoon:

I did the whole snooze button thing today. I have a cardiologist appointment today so I had to get up after I hit it twice. I was having this weird dream about taking care of a baby that was only a few days old ... ick ... very weird, because she could already talk and was ordering me around! I have no idea how dream material gets into your head, you know what I mean? It's almost always about stuff that I never think about in real life. Freud would have a party with that, I think!!

/me serves Bec a low fat iced chocolate with sprinkles on top :yum:
Enjoy, m'dear!!

* Arnold is so excited to have crumpets that he tries do a little dance, but is so fuzzily that he can't do a proper happy dance!!
He's definitely happy about those crumpets, Ari! Thank you for finding them ... I think he loves you more because of it. He told me yesterday that his distant cousin Ari was a pretty awesome person, and I told him that I already knew that.

:hug: Littlevoice. Nice to see you again.

And Lindz, I agree with Littlevoice ... I love your sig. So true!

That is amazing!
I can't claim to feel anything remotely like that...... ....
How long did that take?

Ari, you're amazing!! You actually got me flat-out laughing here ... people must think I'm crazy but I don't care. *bounces* That's a CLASSIC evil baby! And it was like that ... man, weird, weird, WEIRD dream. :eek:

Umm, the nontriggering thing ... I don't know, probably about 150 days since I stopped cutting? Jarrod told me that it was really bad to keep dwelling on cutting ... so I tried to stop dwelling on it ... and then the part of me that really remembered it kind of dwindled away. I mean, I still get urges - last night I really wanted to damage myself in some way, any way - but I'm strong enough to realise that they're just urges, they should pass, etc. But triggering ... I don't know. While part of me has gotten more sensitive to gory things, another part of me has gotten hardened to that type of temptation. If that makes any sense? I'm sorry, my reply is rambling all over the place. :sorry: :o

Afternoon, Tn!! :hug: Care for some peppermint tea??

:hug: Allison.

/me sits down by the window with a mug of white hot chocolate, Arnold, and her psych textbook, to watch the snow fall outside.

What's up, Tiff?? :hug::hug::hug:

Brr it is cold here!! Well, okay, not that bad at all, but it's snowing, and I've just got back from a tramp out there in our woods ... and my toes are cold. :p

* Arnold wonders if anyone besides him needs a huggle? He's had a rough day ... no bamboo tea and he missed his teatime crumpet. :(

It's always fun to act silly on cam. :p Jarrod & I have weird face making contests. And ninja disappearing tricks. And he does happy dances on the cam when I tell him something that deserves a happy dance. Or when he sees me eat things. Hehe. And I usually roll my eyes at his jokes, because it's fun to do that. And we're supposed to be acting all grown up and stuff!! Yeah ... uh-huh ... right. Don't think so. :D

And I wouldn't have it any other way. :tutu:

hello everyone, (its Louise Katey's cousin)
i just wanted to pop on and let you all know how she is doing. they have put back on meds now, and are trying to get her to eat something. i really thought she needed to go back in but i went to see her this evening and now i'm not sure because she just looks in her own little world. it looks like shes given in. i know they'll look after her in there and stuff but i just wanted to stay with her and hold her, tell her everything ok.

anyway. she did say hello to everyone and wanted to let you know shes ok. (from her)
hope your all ok.
