Thank you @NightFury
it has been a surprising journey. I have done a lot of shadow work and let go most of my people pleasing ways.
@tyme aaah! That one. Hmmm yes. She is still tricky. She is in a secular music group, although we do play religious music, it is not from her religion and not for a service. I appreciate you remembering. I will probably see her on the weekend. I am in 3 instrumental music groups and 2 choirs plus am an organist, plus some zooms in mental health space, so very busy. My life now looks very different from 2 years ago. I even have informal friendships and no longer totally reliant on NDIS supports, though grateful, as I doubt I would be here without… the good support. It is weird as I do have leadership and a range of skills, so honest civic participation means I should not be shrunken to a nodding obedient child. Maybe it’s like I have become cheeky and chatty, and leading more with my mouth. It actually helps to be social in a few areas, so that can be more my conversation, rather than freaking out normies with all my various mentions of mental health stuff. Learning delicate art of what to share….

If you don't mind me sharing, I can see how much you have changed just by your posts on the forums over the years @Appleblossom . It's truly amazing to witness.
In a way, I feel it sort of reflects the changes going on for people in their lives.
I feel so privileged to know you.

My first five years on the forums were very difficult. @tyme The only support or sense of community was here. I eventually got the feeling of being social beyond bare survival. Then I got NDIS and that was rocky for a few years. I really really did not want to be here, but had to stay.

Hello @rav3n, no I didn't find any. I'm going to go to target shortly to see if they have any. Just really trying to shake these thoughts and urges at the moment.
