True genius is knowing when to shut up!

I hope that I did not offend you two...I have zero issues with either of you.

This may or may not be directed towards me.. .

Love and hugs along with appreciation for your help.

hi Gabben,
I saw your other post.

It is strange that sometime we think a post can be 'about me'. This one is just a statement about saying nothing is the best answer. It's not about you and not about me.

As with your other thread, when it was addressed to no one, this is when I believe the 'paranoia' sets in.

Perhaps a "Hi everyone" would clarify right at the beginning.
Best
Izzy

Thanks Izzy.

[Gabben]

I think that I should just put duck tape over my mouth for the rest of my life.

Dear Lise,

Knowing tt, I'd say it had everything to do with her own self, personally, and nothing to do with anyone else.

At least, that's how I interpreted it... and I agreed, for myself... because I was/am feeling somewhat emotionally overwrought (not sure how you spell it).

It's just been too much/too fast for me... and I guess I'm still too much of a sponge for it all. Not your responsibility at all!

Love,
Carolyn

Dear Carolyn,

Things are getting better for me moment by moment.

It was just that I felt ignored and when that happens I begin to get paranoid.

Now as I am coming out of it I am feeling better.

Nothing this year that you or tt have said to me on this board has EVER offened me. Can you believe it?

I'm laughing at myself because I slipped into an intense shame spiral as I was reading threads and posts today.

Thanks for hanging in there with me, it is a bumby ride for me at times and as you can see I tend to take others along...

Lise

[Certain Hope]

Thanks, Lise.

I just need to learn how to not go along for that ride.

After all, no one can take me where I don't want to go, right?

Thought I'd learned by now, but obviously not.

Before you said anything or posted anywhere, I could feel it building up... and I knew it was about to blow.

That awareness sends me into my own spiral.

I need to knock it off.

Hope you understand.

Love,
Carolyn

[Gabben]

Yes, Carolyn, I understand - --I still love (((you))).

STOP

THINK

ASK


Love, Leah

[Certain Hope]

Yes, Carolyn, I understand - --I still love (((you))).

Lise

(((((Lise))))) I love you, too. Thank you for understanding.

If I don't have the words you need, it's not for lack of caring.
My filters just don't work right.

Carolyn

[Gabben]

Carolyn,

That makes perfect sense to me...my filters are certainly not working either....

I am grateful that I can laugh at myself, boy, do I need it right about now.

Lise

[Certain Hope]

I'm glad you can, too, Lise.

That's a wonderful blessing 

That animated movie "Chicken Little" is on here...
so that may help me some... lol.

Love you,
Carolyn
