Hello.
I could feel myself slipping.
This weekend...BB, helped me to stay a float.
The posts that I have read, and those that I have commented on, have genuinely helped me to not do anything foolish.
I'll be honest, it's actually taken me a few years to 'trust' BB - thats just me, hyper-vigilance can also sneak up on you in the online-world as well.
Comes from never feeling safe as a kid.
But, this weekend I have shed tears that have washed over me...and have cracked me open, to let more of the light in.
I have shared from my soul...and I have felt genuine connection and care, from complete strangers.
I'm not gonna over-analyse that, because I get that its always easier to hide behind, or more-so, hide in front-of, a computer screen and to write words, words, words, that are just that...words.
BUT - I have laughed and smiled at the pure awesomeness of so many of the peeps that share on BB.
I actually can't express fully how much I feel that BB has SAVED me this weekend.
I know it sounds corny but there you have it...I am incredibly thankful.
I carry myself as a very confident, assertive and intelligent man but sometimes I feel SO pathetic, stupid, worthless and useless that it floors me.
Sometimes, I just dont cope.
Lately, thats how I've been.
The psychological conditioning and programming that I live with...has a lot to answer for.
The autism, and major depressive episodes...break me down, and at the most inopportune of times.
And, I crumble.
BUT - not this weekend.
I feel oddly at ease and peaceful.
And, thats thanks to you guys...all of you.
MuchMuchMuchLove&Gratitude.

When I see you, I see a ray of light piercing through the darkness; bright, nurturing and tremendously inspiring.
An incredibly insightful and amazing lady on 'here' gifted me by replying to a post of mine with what I want to now pass on to you. I am/will be eternally grateful of her gift and I now have the words hanging on my wall in my 'zen zone'.
I give you this:
There is and never will be anyone quite like you. You are unique, can't be imitated or replaced if you cease to exist. This uniqueness alone means you are valuable, a precious "one of" never to be replicated.
..and I chuckle to myself at and with you on not over-analysing and think He's doing it again. But you know what Sir K, I don't mind when you do, but please know the words you read come from a mind in a body who has a heart filled by the joy of you.
I love you more than mum's caramel dumplings, Sir K. Thank YOU for being YOU. The world will be ever the more darker without you in it. Keep shining. xx

Thank You, V!
You know what?
When I was writing the line, "I'm not going to over-analyse that...etc etc etc", it's true...I couldn't help myself, and start to analyse myself NOT analyzing, thats the HFA for ya!.
We MUST know the answers.
Just not always possible!
But, I've learnt that I can, and must use my "powers" for good!.
StayLovely!

Hey Kaitoa Wolfe
Ive been reading many of your wonderful posts. Your words are solid and heartfelt. You are a legend.
V17 & Nikkir are super kind legends along with their wise and learned counsel too 🙂 Ive had acute anxiety for years then followed by depression...ugh! Just for me I found that throwing my microscope into the trash was the best move I have made...accompanied by practicing the art of being more simple minded instead of an intellect has brought me the bulk of my peace 🙂
what a kind thread Mr Wolfe......you are a true gift!
my kindest thoughts

Thank you, Paul.
I take my lead from master teachers like Ghandi, and Buddha and Tara Brach - they teach me that its all about bringing balance between the mind and the emotions.
Having HFA, Im gonna anaylse - Its JUST the way our brain is designed...trust me, if I could stop...I actually would.
But, one must accept the hand that one has been dealt, and make the most of that hand.
I am learning to bring balance to my life.
To be honest - I am a lover, and a fighter...but I learning to fight the good fight, and to choose my battles wisely.
We must stand for something - I choose freedom.
Its what my name means!
Thank you for your support, brother.
Kaitoa.

Saucey,
It was Paul that was one of the first 'declared' males on the forums to put his hand up and say he was assaulted! Legend. And that not all girls are 'nice'!
If my dodgy memory serves me correctly you and another guy are the pioneers re: sexual abuse/assault!
So powerful fellas
