Thank you for the Birthday greetings

[Winslow]

Thank you to those of you wished me Happy Birthday by both the profile-box and private box. Instead of acknowledging them one by one, I thought it better to thank in one fell swoop, which is why I post here.
Nowadays, my life is under control. Almost lost my housing-subsidy, but my social worker helped me save it. The social worker is very conscientious, checking up on me every week. And of course I still see my psychotherapist on a regular basis, and with whom I have a very good rapport. I notice many who post on this board who complain that their therapist is awful, so I suggest that they keep looking for a different therapist until they find one with whom they feel a rapport. In my case, I went through three of them until I found the right one.

And many of you already know by now that I finally made my ultimate dream come true after 50 years, so the resulting Contentment is an Over-all feeling that pervades every day, so it also works as a Shield against any painful woes that befall me. How blessed I am to have that Shield!

So I'm grateful for my birthday today. Thanks again to those who sent me those greetings.

I'm glad your ultimate dream came true

You haven't really said what that was, but that's ok.

Happy birthday, @Winslow.

Maybe one day I would have a better therapist.

The reason I keep it Undisclosed is because most of you might consider it weird. No, it's not a relationship. After all, I've already had 2 of them, and that was more than enough for me. It's not my cup of tea, I don't like drama. I stay away from emotional attachments. In fact, it's my practice of Nonattachment that prevents me from losing the great gift I gained. To have Emotions mixed up with it would make me lose my gift. Serenity is more important than emotions.

I think it would be ok to talk about it. I doubt anyone would judge you for it.

If you feel better about not saying anything, I think that's fine too, because no one really needs to know.

Happy Belated Birthday @Winslow. It's great to hear how positive things are for you, I hope that it continues!

Happy birthday Winslow, even if a bit late.

 

[Saint Rita]

Wishing you a very happy belated birthday!

Happy birthday, @Winslow.

Thanks, but You say that you wish for a better therapist. That's why I had said that I went through three of them before I found the current one that I feel comfortable with. I don't know if you've already tried several different therapists, but you should, because finding a good therapist is someone who gives you constant hope. That's why a good rhyme is "Hope enables you to Cope." Have you tried more than one therapist?

I have no money left for such a fancy service. Now, it's all about surviving through this pandemic.

But you said that you have a therapist already, so it's just a matter of finding a new one. That way, it won't cost more than you already pay.

I had one, the one called me to "man up" in a session. I think I meant I would like to have a better therapist some day.
It's still cost a lot. I have to save for meds and whatever would cost in the future, as well.
