    Rebooting trough self-parenting

    Maybe frame it as a lapse rather than a relapse. You identified a lot and I think a relapse is more when you are stuck in it for a longer period of time? Just my 2 cents. Hope you are still doing well.

    Both my gran and uncle have passed. My uncle first about a month ago and my gran a few weeks ago. Her funeral was Tuesday. It was a hard day but upon reflection I feel lighter and more grounded currently. Things have felt pretty chaotic and dark thoughts were looming. I am glad to have had...

    I need to do this. (Relapse. Starting again)

    Been a bit of a stressful week so far. Work has been a bit of stress and taking one of the rats yesterday ended up taking up a lot more time out of my day than I hoped. Thankfully they are still ok though just need regular teeth trimming! My uncle who was Ill is now back in hospital. I havent...

    She gets very excited about it but it's brand new news each time I tell her. She has started believing this delusion that her sister has all this power and turned us against her and its her sisters fault she is in the care home. Really sad.

    My gran has been moved from hospital into a care home. She cant look after herself anymore and her confusion is now dementia. Had a really tough visit with her today. Lots of tears from us both. Had an acting out urge but opted to come on here. I cannot recall where I saw it but the phrase "I...

    Sexting.

    I can relate. I had a pretty busy social life and was in the music scene playing in bands and arranging gigs. I was living with my partner/fiancée but I still found myself compulsively sexting. Its a hard cycle to break. Granted it was formed in my brain from the age of 12/13 but I found being...

    I need to do this. (Relapse. Starting again)

    Rough day yesterday. Visit with my gran was tough and we had one of our rats put down. I am doing ok though. In the last few months I worked through some of my sexual shame with self touch as my counsellor had advised. I ignored this advise and never M'd in my first long period of recovery...
