Hi Desert Flower,
Glad that you are feeling calmer and that you are safe, and also that you enjoyed filling out that questionnaire. It's great that you went to that Retreat and that it went well.  Missing that Birthday thing sounds like it was meant to be and you could sleep for a while.  :hug:

That is a very physical reaction - when you wrote about being grabbed by the throat.  I feel angry that the EF affected you so roughly SanMagic, and I feel like telling that part that you are such a lovely person, and I'm glad that your D was able to help with removing some of the gunk that you experienced.

Quote from: Dalloway on October 27, 2025, 07:21:30 PMLately I´ve been involved in different activities with different groups of people that filled me with a lot of energy. For the first time in my life I experienced real human connections and presence in the company of other people. It gave me the impression that I truly exist, that I´m not just an abstract something without borders and contours. This experience was out of this world and left me wanting for more. The more real I start to feel, the more I need to be connected to the reality. I realized that I´ve always had this need, I was born as an expectation for it. So when I started to experience it, it was as if a valve had been opened and now I yearn for more. I know that there´s huge amount of love that I´m capable of giving and receiving and that it´s always been my natural need.

This is lovely - I am also happy to hear you've experienced real human connection  :grouphug:

Hi Bach,
Even noticing that good feels unsafe is a step toward understanding yourself, and maybe it's ok to let good feelings arrive in small doses, so they don't feel overwhelming.  I don't know.  But I'm sorry that you didn't sleep well last night and that you're feeling low as can be today.  Sending you a hug of support, although a very gentle one, as I know you're experiencing hurt today.   :hug:

I feel joy when I enter a library, it is exciting, comforting, and I feel excited as I look to discover which books to accompany back home.  I really love it.

Oops, sorry about that, I thought I'd not responded to Chart's message, but it was on page 1, and there are 2 pages - I feel silly now - but thank you again.  :hug:

I hope that you are able to get some time to recuperate after taking on all those burdens of others.  That's heavy to carry that.  I hope that your bruise on your forehead is going to heal soon - sometimes arnica can be soothing.

Sending you a hug of support, if that's ok  :hug:
