good a.m.  i hope that everyone was able to get some good out of the weekend.. i tried to.. our kitties are all now on expensive new 'spa select' kitty food due to this whole scare over wheat gluten from china tainted with rat poison/melamine.. i still worry though.. poor kitties! i hope i don't hear from my mom.. they have cats but they don't really care for them right.. and my mom is always letting me know sad stuff about them.. why?! it just upsets me.. anyway.. i've got to go make some new design variations for sweet addy.. i'll be on my laptop today.. hope someone comes around for a visit..? just a ghost |

Hi ghost! and I don't think you're "just a ghost"-- I think "a friendly ghost" would fit quite well.  me-- I'm struggling terribly-- so what else is new?  heh, you sound like me here: "I hope i don't hear from my mom..".... I think this a lot! I hope your kitties are still OK-- that sure was a sad thing that happened to so many beloved pets.  clover |

hey.. sorry to hear you're struggling, clover.. what's going on? yeah.. i used to be 'friendlyghost' .. you know 'kind to every living creature..' hehe.. but then at one point i felt like i had to start putting my guard up more.. even being friendly i tend to get hurt by others easily.. think it's just me..? so now i'm 'just a ghost'.. oh.. but it's tuesday now.. gotta start another thread..  |

ghost -- thanks for asking about my struggles......... there are so many........ I feel like my back is going to break I have a hard time with opening up about my problems....... I feel like I'm encroaching on others boundaries--- I think I don't understand the idea of "boundaries" and so I just keep a distance to be on the safe side-- so afraid to make a mistake! I'm not sure what is the right amount to say and what would be to much or not enough........ I think I spent too much time alone as a child, didn't learn some important social thing....... clover |

clover.. i understand what you're saying.. i am extremely shy.. but it would be hard to tell because i'm positively prolific online.. after about half a lifetime of therapy i've gotten used to talking about my personal life and stuff.. at first i said nothing and it was so hard! it got so uncomfortable to be quiet.. i feel like that cured me in one way of being too quiet.. but i hate it too.. 'cause now i nervous talk! so i got past that worry about boundaries and stuff.. at least in support forums.. i still worry everywhere else.. but i know i didn't learn good boundaries either.. seems i'm either just stepping over them or keeping way back to be careful.. anyway.. i feel bad for you having so much on your plate.. if you ever want to start a thread of your own and just vent, it's perfectly ok.. we've all done that here.. we're all pretty good listeners.. whether or not we have any advice i can't promise.. but that's what support groups are for.. i used to literally have real fear if i talked about anything personal at all.. always feeling like it somehow betrayed my 'family'..? take it easy, ghost |
