Good morning @Shaz51 , @CheerBear and anyone else around. Wow, you are a VERY bright yellow colour @Shaz51 
I am feeling much calmer now after my week on the only-safe-to-take-for-a-week medication, and my relatively positive session with (A) on Monday. I've got just one more of these assignments to mark (and then there will be two more where the students got extensions, down the track). It has been a really valuable learning experience but FAR OUT it has really taxed my puddle brain!!!!
Something feels odd...even though the waves have settled a LOT, somehow I still don't want to come out of the ocean. I think I feel safe here. I think maybe I have found a nice balance between having others nearby, without feeling smothered. Is that weird? I guess it isn't really...given I'm a sea turtle.
Sitting on my rock stack little turtle - watching over you and @Former-Member in the ocean. 
What is you cool news @Phoenix_Rising
I'm so sorry that was such a quick turn around @Phoenix_Rising. I do wish you got to enjoy those good feelings for a lot longer.
I am here with you and @Zoe7 is look over us as well. You are not alone.
Do share your cool news...it is so important that we have the time and space to reflect on the cool things 
@Zoe7 and @CheerBear my cool news was that I finished marking all the assignments and sent them back to the lecturer.
However two minutes after feeling super good about that, I came onto the forum and saw @NikNik's message that @CherryBomb is leaving and now all my gigantic feelings are gigantic again. I really really REALLY don't cope with people going away. EVERYBODY goes away. This is why I won't ever do the friend thing again - because every friend I've ever had, has ended up leaving. I can't connect with ANYBODY. EVERYBODY who I form a tinsy tiny connection to, goes away. There's NOBODY in my world. Everybody leaves. Right now I don't even want to do the aquaintance thing. I don't want to ever feel connected to anybody BECAUSE EVERYBODY LEAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My inside superly duperly gigantically hurts. This is exactly why you and I will never ever be friends @CheerBear. I will never trust you to be my friend. I will never ever trust anybody to be my friend. I super like you @CheerBear but we are absolutely definitely not friends.
