Hello @Emelia8 , @TAB , @MDT , ,,, @@BlueBay @PinkFlamingo 😀

Good morning All,

I'm sorry to hear about your having troubles @saturnzoon . The support from everyone is really good to read. I know what you mean about being jinxed. On one of hardest days, recently, I needed to get to the chemist desperately. I finally gathered courage, walked out to car & tyre was flat. First time ever! @tyme I think mentioned 'snowball' That is exactly what it feels like. I don't know why these things all fall down on us at once. (Sorry we have not spoken much, I hope I am not being intrusive - I hope you get banking sorted ASAP)

Hello @StuF thankyou for reply . No luck with doc & earlier appointment. It is good in a way, that I am learning to go slower, as it is very expensive "medication' - I actually am not sure it is on the PBS or officially a medication.

This is HUGE problem. Personally, I was scared to try it (flashbacks from youth 😊) It is only C B D - I even did a drug test & I was clear - as I wanted to know if I would be legal to drive. 

It has given me amazing relief, the anxiety nearly stops (the really bad panic) it's like, I can feel my trauma, without feeling upset about it.

NOW - this needs to be a MEDICATION easily accessible, & affordable to everyone, imo.

It is always good to hear from you, & I hope things are good for youx 

Hello @Appleblossom you are beautiful❤️ oh, I am excited you know handpans. New to me. My man friend, (partner I think) bought it 4 me. I agreed to pay him back. It is magical meditation tool. Very difficult to play for me, tapping the notes is skill. It feels creative & intuitive,  different. I hope you are going good.

@MDT aka Hams. I like your new handle. Distinguished 😊. I was interested that you wrote CBT etc were bandaids. (Idk) I really like how you know what you want. Your post made me think of this book.  I have not been able to read for 10+ years due to trauma. This is the first book, I literally want to read everyday. It asks reader questions about their trauma. I learnt cpl days ago, that my attachment style is called Disorganised. Maybe the book is helpful to you or not. I recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about their trauma.

Hey @TAB Hotel California....

Such a lovely place ....

Hello @Shaz51 sorry, I forgot you☹️🦄 big sorry hug x

Hey there @creative_writer 🌺

How are you doing? 
not being here means I’ve not been going too well in all areas, but I wanted to say hi 🌺

[PinkFlamingo]

Yeah @Glisten .. I feel like it should be a few days ago, in terms of keeping pace at the moment. 
hope you’re doing alright

Hi @StanD
Sounds good
Should look into it.
Will see if I can find a e book for my google books
Good to read on the go

@StanD
On that note too, I feel a struggle with regards to psychology in general.
Sometimes I feel like it may have done some damage due to bad therapists or ones who plug my vulnerability
