That's frustrating, @j95, Melbourne weather for you!! I submitted one assignment today, and am working on the last one now. Watching some American horror story tonight though :) ... View more

Wow that's beautiful, @j95, I'm so glad that you were able to have a reminder of the identity and power you have in your culture. What else did you do today? ... View more

That makes sense, @DruidChild, god it's so frustrating, does anything in particular work for you? ... View more

@j95 that's really cool that you got so many positive experiences from going to the skate park! It's definitely tough when you have conflicting ideas about your recovery, we are here for you if you feel like that again, and whilst I don't think that it means you're not recovering, I do understand your desire not to do SH. I think you've come so far in just the year I've known you! ... View more

@DruidChild omg social anxiety. I hate that at the moment! Ive recently realised a lot of emotions I have when I'm at a specific job of mine stem from social anxiety because of the group dynamic there, and it can really control me too. Where is it that you experience it? ... View more

Hey @j95, thanks for the tag. I really like how well thought out and explained this post is. In comparison to Sunday I feel like this has a lot of reasoning and reflection behind it. Not that it's not great to talk about it in the moment, but it's nice to see your insightful side look back on the anxious side that was probably taking the reigns on Sunday. It's so shitty when you lose your streak. Especially when it's been a long time since the last SH episode, and how much praise and admiration you can receive for the streak when people know about it. I always felt like I was letting myself down (and even those who knew and encouraged my recovery) when I did it after a period of not self-harming. Whilst it's definitely possible to stop an unhealthy coping mechanism cold turkey, it's also extremely unrealistic for a lot of people. Sometimes the slip ups or sad moments are actually important parts of recovery. The battle you're describing between your thoughts of 'its a part of recovery and it's okay it happened' and your thoughts of 'its stopping your recovery' sounds tough either way. Which side of this battle do you think you're on most, or agree with most? And which side of the battle do you think the feeling of shame is coming from? ... View more

Woah! Close call. One time I was trying to get through a yellow light and the car in front of my broke so hard at last minute and I had to slam on the breaks too, that was scary too. Nice @j95, it's gonna be pretty cold today I think, stay warm! I'm at uni trying to do this stupid assignment. Hey I'd love to chat out Sunday night with you today if you want to make a thread. I always make progress when I discuss how I felt AFTER the feeling has left, so if you've got time, I do too today. ... View more

Hey @DruidChild, thanks so much for the little supporting messages you give me every now and again when I post about assignments, it's really thoughtful of you!! Definitely needed it today so thank-you. Argh the constant cycle of 'see a gp, join support' it's sorta annoying. Have you tried it? I'm curious to know what your experience was/ what you think about it? ... View more

My day was pretty hectic, hence why I didn't make it on here much. Omg nearly a car accident? That's scary and stressful, are you alright @j95? It's happened to me before too, I hate those moments. What's on for today? ... View more

oh my god! they even ripped your pants? cheeky rascals. thats lucky that no one saw haha. ooh thats very true, its great that youre able to teach them to go slower then. i think if i tried to teach oscar anything more than the basics that he does now (sit, drop, stay) he would laugh at me and continue to be a cheeky pain in the butt ...

hahaha @Randomness, leaving the washing until 11pm, that sucks! right now all i want is to go to bed but there is so much stuff on my bed from attempting to tidy my room and getting distracted.. oops ... View more

hahaha @j95 sorry but that actually sounds hilarious! did you get hurt though? i cant imagine what people around you thought, what a commotion! Thats great youre teaching them to go a bit slower. Those pups are so gorgeous, im sure people wouldnt mind... until maybe they get wrapped up in that leash too haha ... View more

what breed of dog would you like to own, @Randomness? ... View more

thats so awesome, @j95 they are so lucky! its also so great that you get out and about through walking them. Thats perfect jumping on your skateboard. the question is: do you pull them along or do they pull you along? haha   oscar is a total mutt! we have no idea what he is. the breeder told us that he was a cross between cavelier and jack russel, but he looked a little bi different to his siblings in the rest of the litter.... he is now twice the size of a cavie, has long lanky legs, and doesnt look anything like either of those dogs haha   heres a picture of oscar! ... View more

thats great, @j95, how often do they get walks with you? lucky... my dog gets out a few times a week, but he is only small (not like yours) and also keeps himself very busy in the backyard which is convenient. ooh i love taking oscar down to the puppy beach when i have the time, because he LOVES playing hard to get with dogs hahah ...
