Hi Vettegirl, Welcome to AS! Is that Vancouver, BC? I'm in BC too. All the best on your healing journey, Josie

Hi CanadianWarrior! I'm Canadian too! (BC)...I also love music. Welcome to AS! Josie

Great idea, spark! It has been loss after loss for me as well...and soooooooo much grieving. It would be great if we could have a thread where we could talk about our losses and support each other. Looking forward to this. I think it will be very helpful. Josie

Happy belated birthday!!! Josie

Hi butterflymama, Welcome to AS! Wow...Norway is such a beautiful country! I have been to Sweden and Finland but haven't been to Norway. I'm in Canada. I'm just curious...but please don't answer if it's not comfortable...did you move to Norway to get away from it all? I grew up in Eastern Canada but now live at the other end of the country...I wanted/needed to get away from my family as far as I could. I was abused by my father for many years. I am so sorry about what you went through and that no one believed you when you spoke up about the abuse...that is horrible! Yes, you are right.

I am strong...you're not!!!

SA went through a transition around December 27th or 28th?...I can't remember the exact date this happened. There was a change of "web host"...sorry, I can't explain this as I have no idea what a web host is or why there was a need to change web host. There was a warning about it though...there are a couple of posts by flea regarding this, which you probably will be able to find. Two days of posts (I think) were lost as a result, unfortunately. Hope this helps. Josie

If ok:-

I slept until 1pm! Yeah!

((((((((((((((((((SNM))))))))))))))))))

Sooooo glad you got some sleep, a9z! Josie

I went out for dinner with a friend tonight..and we played cards, watched television and had a nice chat.

Wow, I've always been curious about that game but have never tried it.

A few weeks ago, I found a scrabble game online I really like...been spending probably too many hours doing that. I find it grounding though, and it actually helps a lot. Josie

I very much miss chat as well. I'm hoping someone will fix it soon and it hasn't been forgotten about...any chance it can be fixed soon? Anyone looking into this? Josie

That sounds great, Copper! Josie

Went out with a friend for spaghetti and Caesar salad at my favourite pub. It was nice to get out of the house!

Went to Tim Horton's (coffee house) and to a Dollar Store with friends. Enjoyed playing Scrabble with these same friends for the rest of the evening.

Hi shanno, Welcome to AS! Very sorry to hear about what happened to you. Glad that you are working with a psychologist. Please know that you are not alone. The horrible images that are playing in your head are called flashbacks. You are remembering, and it sounds like you have started the healing process. I understand the lost feeling. I have felt that way many, many times. It's probably very common amongst survivors. You said you're not sure what you're supposed to feel...you are feeling! (Feeling lost) Know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have heard many times the s
