Re: wat we need
@ellie2000 i often trust my gut instinct (spidy senses) if something doesnt seem right, or seems too good to be true - we are usually correct...

Re: What's your favourite comfort tv shows or films?
@AislingDM It's so wonderful! You're going to love it!! I agree! Cinematography is always something that blows me away when watching films, I especially adore the cinematography in The Grand Budapest Hotel! Have you seen it?
Re: Care Experienced - Ask Me Anything
Thank you for this @AislingDM
I really think that writing this thread has been helping me as much as it's been helping you guys! It's encouraging me to explore and talk about aspects of my life that I may not have thought about!
I'm glad you've taken what you have from it, there's so much more we can be doing for all our children and teens in any sort of need.
Feel free to come here any time you want and any time you have any questions, you know I'll be here! Ask away

Re: What is the best colour
I have voted for purple because purple is my fave colour!
However, I think the best colour depends on the context in which colour is used.
Different colours are valued in different places!

Young Audio Awards
Earlier on, I heard something on the radio about the Young Audio Awards and this is about young people between the age of 8 and 18 recording their own radio show or podcast as part of a competition. At the moment, there is even a category about "My Life In Audio" which is about life during the pandemic and you can do it as an interview with someone, discussing your personal experiences, giving advice or however you want to do it. https://youngaudioawards.co.uk/categories/ Here is some more information about this amazing opportunity. I think that I am going to give it a go.

Re: Being with someone who has BPD
@Laura_tigger82 @Lucy307 @zaynab_5 @gia9720
Hi All
I am happy to hear you found my post interesting. It took me a few days to write as I could keep writing forever ever it seems!
My and my lovely man moved house on Monday so it has been super stressful but we managed to get it done with the help of my lovely family to support us. It is taking time and its been a little wobbly as my man comes to term with the change but it is work in progress.Thank you for asking.
@Lucy307 I am currently working on a post on how to explain SET which I will post soon - hopefully! But I originally came across this when researching BPD, it was originally designed for BPD but I have adapted it sightly to fit different situations. It is from a book called "Talking to a loved one with Borderline Personality Disorder" half the book explains what the steps are and the other half are examples of how to use it. Obviously, as it is for BPD, it will need to be adapted but the basic idea is still the same if you were to use for people without BPD. It is really good for mediating and reducing conflict during sensitive topics too. Especially for emotional people who get overwhelmed easily, it's a really useful tool as it has a structure and it teaches you how to actively listen to others responses.
