@CheerBear your picture hasn't come up yet, but thanks to @Spookytookims, now the mention of a rainbow makes me get an image in my brain of a rainbow going down a toilet. So...right now I have an image of you holding one end of a rainbow while the other end descends into a toilet. Gee...I always knew that pesky @Spookytookims was going to have an adverse effect on my brain.

Awwwwww @CheerBear I feel sad that you are feeling all shaky. Sitting here in Sydney, I actually don't feel nearly as shaky as the picture @Spookytookims just posted of me might suggest. I actually feel quite calm and ok...which I think is attributable to the substantially improved relationship with my psychologist. FINALLY I feel like I have someone in my corner...and that makes me feel snuggly and safe. But I digress..
I have a feeling that @Spookytookims' picture is just illustrative of her messing with my brain by filling it with images of rainbows in toilets. I'm sure she will let us know soon enough. In the meantime, do you want to try the thing of sitting still for three minutes with your hands palm-up? We can do it here together in your nest. I've been diligently doing it each morning. I have to say, in the safety of my own backyard, I don't find that any harder than sitting any other way...and I can sit and just listen to the birds for HOURS. Sitting in my garden makes me feel super calm.

@CheerBear pic above is me... and poor @Phoenix_Rising rocking in her shell at pesky spookytookims 😛
Hence PR rofl-ing at it. 🙂
So I'm ok... also think it's pretty funny PR was offering her aspie brain... lol'd at that one too. She may be aspie but she's got good caring bones in there 😄
I still don't know how aspie and BPD work together... they ostensibly seem to be opposite on the emotions scale. But I think I've kind of figured it out. It seems like it's potentialy very messy because it just shouldn't work.

@Spookytookims what can I say, I'm an enigma. Yes, being me is kind-of messy but it isn't really so perplexing. I was born aspie. Bad stuff happened, and as a consequence of the bad stuff I developed BPD. Thus I became an aspie with BPD. That's all.
