I didn't do anything I promised myself I would do today but kept pushing stupid memories of exT away and trying squash the feelings of neediness away. I have realised I wanted my exT to be my mother maybe that's why I was so alarmed about 5 years ago when he asked if I saw him as a mother figure.

But I'm feeling extremely touch deprived lately and I would probably cry.

It's perfectly normal to crave human touch. Massages are my thing. If your not ready for that maybe you could try smaller like having a manicure or a pedicure done?

Sometimes things take longer to get done than we want.But they'll be done when they're done. I feel the maternal stuff with R too. It makes sense to want that nurturing and care aspect and I think that stands regardless of gender.

Pink elephant story time! ( I know I go on about this but there's actually a house near where i live that has a pink elephant in their front garden). Basically my theory is that the more you try not to think about the pink elephant the more you will think of the pink elephant. Rather than actively trying to resist- let those thoughts in. Write them down. What did you love about ex- T? I always poke fun at R's hair- did yours have weird quirks?

Did you find a new art class? Maybe you could find a new one, something similar like pottery or photography?

I've had OCD when I was a kid and it still pops up sometimes. I found audiobooks really help me get out of that headspace . There's so much free stuff on youtube! Sure you could find something. I have the power of Purpose by Les Brown playing. It's a 6 hour video.

No lies. But my brother's medical school (SGUL) gave his whole class ipad mini's. All we got was a tote bag, a skull poster and a notebook.

And if I ever "really" harmed myself.

Possible trigger:

Oh, and he told me the other night that the reason I'm still alive is because I didn't harm myself enough because of my fear of seeing things pierce the skin. Again, thanks dad...

Tell him to watch Dr Blaise Aguirre's talk. It's the best documentary that I've found.

Our first PC was Dell, but I haven't seen them around for years. I'm procrastinating and now watching The Rise And Fall of Gap.

They’re very common in the US—cheap and in academia with a significant student discount. My school gives faculty Dell laptops.

I owned a few when I was a student and never found them reliable or durable for more than a year or two.

My family’s first computer was an Apple IIe.

I've had mine since 2012 but have had a new hard drive installed and the fan replaced a couple years ago I guess it was. And windows 10 install crashed it awhile back had to take it to computer shop to fix but since those things it's been great knock on wood.
