I hope 🙏 you’re okay, Tom. You are such a decent person. You deserve good things, at the least- peace of mind and heart.

👍 🤍 Anita

Hmm, let me present the question above as a multiple-choice question ( it may be helpful, if not, it may be fun 😀 (I’m okay with this emoji just for this post). Okay, here it is:

I (Confused) checked ✔️ for her messages every 10 minutes because:

a. I was bored and had nothing better to do.

b. I was afraid 😨 of her and was checking to see 👀 if she’d threaten my life.

c. I had nothing better to do. I was bored.

d. It was late, couldn’t sleep, so I kept my fingers moving for exercise (checking her messages) so to tire myself.

e. Bored.

f. I gambled with a friend for $20 that she’d message me by the end of the 🌙. Was hoping to make some 💰

g. Nothing 2 do.

h. a & b

i. c & d

f. 🤢

Hey Confused: I’ll B Back 2 U in a few hours

Hello Mollie 🙂

Bogart is a 🐕 and a he. He’s,9 months old, and very affectionate with other dogs and with humans. He’s particularly attached to me. Actually, he’s my first ever dog/ pet.

And yes, a pet can be.. an emotion regulating helper. It goes both ways. Dogs get anxious too.

I will check the app you recommended when I have the use of the 🖥 (using my 📱, hence all the emojis, they show up as I type and I can’t resist them 😉)

Yes, I am feeling better, thank you. Thing is current lows are so much higher than past lows (those felt devastating, maybe 10 years ago or even earlier touch 🪵)

Three more test days, how exciting, seeing the completion of five 🙌 years of study. Of course, studying all the time is not a good idea. We all need rest to recharge.

I 👍 how you talk sense to yourself when feeling guilty.

I’m glad your brother is better, more self- regulated than he was before. I wonder if it has something to do with him living with you vs him living with his- your parents.

Bogart just settled right beside me 🙂

Currently emotionally regulated 😉, Anita

1% charge (see my above message( Power 🔋 dying… Ahh. B Back Sun morning

Well, dear Confused, I don’t think it happened suddenly because stress has been building up “since the beginning” (you checking and analyzing the interactions with her). I suppose stress built up over time.

I mean, it wasn’t calm & happily-ever-after and then.. BOOM.

I said that you don’t trust your love for her because you’re overly afraid to hurt her (you said that many times). As in something hurtful or harmful can come out of your love for her.

I 👍 it that there’re 2 🙂s and only 1 😔 in your message right above.

🙂 Anita

How R U, Caroline?
