Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Happy Birthday! Last year, when I found out I was accepted into my current school, two friends bought me take-out (insisting I choose whatever I wanted) and let me have my pick of the tequila that went into our margaritas. I realized I had never been celebrated like that. When everyone blew off my 16th birthday, I just started throwing my own parties. It sounds sad, but it was really cool to be celebrated for an evening. Even in the most simple of ways! What a beautiful new experience that was for me! And I'm so glad you received the same experience. How wonderful for you!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi everyone & thank you. I am checking in because I miss the list & everyone here. I'm still struggling a bit but have my highs & lows... I guess everyone does. I'm starting to write a list of emotional triggers and what the emotion I feel in relation to them is. One big one is other people doing dishes... nada would go nuts if she had to do them. Fiance gets kind of angry when he does them too because he & I are the only 2 out of 5 living here that really do them regularly. So I did notice for sure I feel fear, obligation & guilt... hey look, FOG. Anyway, going to read a little on the list & see how everyone's doing & what is going on. Hope all is well with everyone. I'm still going to monitor how often I'm checking things here... like GS said, I think I was on way too much. I guess it happens. But I still find the group to be very helpful.
