    Living Truthfully Within

    Just a quick edit that I can't go back to do, back in 2020/2021, I was in a queue to get a local psychologist but that was delayed because of pandemic. So I had a psychiatrist. (For meds) and a support worker, but hadn't yet started talky therapy (although I saw, and still see the psychiatrist...

    Smelling the flowers

    Congratulations on the acquisition AND on the retirement! Oh my, that's so heart wrenching about B. :( The hereditary stuff is really horrible. We have the BARCA gene in our family, I can't imagine having three. I wish her well on the surgeries, and that she recovers quickly. She is so lucky to...

    In the garden

    You all know well enough about that because that's what I have. It's not easy to diagnose and the only way to get the diagnosis is ruling out everything else. Long Covid symptoms mimic CFS/ME, although they think CFS/ME comes from a viral source and attacks the spine/brain nerves and inflames...

    Living Truthfully Within

    I've been dating again for the first time in ages, not with Gabriel who I mentioned before but we are loosely friends still...and I think my lack of liking men was a lot of trauma based stuff. I've been working with a therapist for a little over 6 months now, and we've dug deep and I am feeling...

    Living Truthfully Within

    For the first time in a long time I might actually have some potential poly news? Early days. Gabriel (A man I dated brief in 2017) contacted me about writing. Although at this point we are platonic, I can't deny there's interest floating around. Odd since I haven't been interested in men in a...

    Living Truthfully Within

    Another 2021 update before the end of the year! A year into therapy wit ha GREAT therapist, and over a year on meds work and I can *Definitely* see the return to some of my energy levels. I still have M.E. but it's a LOT milder than the combination major depression and physical illness. I'm...

    Emotionally monogamous and physically polyamorous?

    Poly- amory = many- loves (romantic) Poly sexual= many sexual partners (romantic or not) Demi sexual= a sexual preference of not sexual until you know the person extremely well. Rather than go on a date 1-2 weeks later sleep together that happens in a lot of casual dating. More like...

    Emotionally monogamous and physically polyamorous?

    Definitely these things can be like this, and can change! I just found out while im still sexually attracted to both sexes im romantically attracted to women and friendly attracted to men. But it used to be the opposite! So don't get too hung up on the labels and just be you. As galagirl said...

    So much this. Some obvious tips maybe you already have this on there. Willingness to meet up with wife in first go so they know you aren't cheating. Being ok if said persin is more interested in wife than you (if bi). Not plastering happy couple photos everywhere. Being aware of how...
