Rowlinson is a man i had a one night fling with in 2014
when i was very unwell with my mental health
i was not in love with him and i did warn him of that
he is now on the forum harrassing me with details of the encounter
in the hope of putting off other men
aided by Chucky who shares his forum identities

I just got up from the computer to get a snack and a coffee 
and realised I could make two trips for that ! 
one for the snack and one for the coffee ( exciting times ! ) 
so as to stretch my legs more often 
because its easy to just sit here for 2 hours chatting 
I also noticed that while watching tv one reaches for the remote 
and I can feel my stomach muscles pulling when I reach over 
so I could do that movement more often instead of lying there !  
what if these micro movements added up

I find the current climate 
is that its considered old fashioned to be just straight down the line 
whatever that means, or if you have traces of old school conditionings with it 
I can't get into the idea of being gay 
but I do like men wearing womens clothes , make up etc 
I don't like ' being the man ' 
but I can get into being a dominant woman sometimes 
just to ring the changes 
kind of tutti fruity thats interesting B
not sure I can stretch that far 
but I do sometimes enjoy taking the initiative with a man
when I was at school we use to do it for a dare ! 
other times its good to keep me trap shut !

peer mentoring 
we're encouraged to seek help from the course tutors 
so I said I'm finding it difficult to switch off from the course 
which makes it difficult to switch back on to the course 
when I can't get a break from it 
I've asked if we might talk about this during a class at some point 
see if anyone else has the same thing going on 
get some tips from each other

conflict is not always a negative thing , depending on how you see it 
its not always a fight 
like when I was at college we had to do sometimes a project in pairs 
and the two of us would conflict hugely about the design 
and it was all part of a creative process 
I remember going to Amsterdam with this other guy 
we stayed on a barge while we studied dutch design for a project 
and some would argue that if you're not conflicting at all 
then you're not being honest

I've been to quite a few interactive workshops over the years 
some of the conflict management, assertive techniques 
and some of them in the mental health services too 
and learned things like ' owning our own feelings ' 
' responding rather than reacting ' 
' voicing our feelings regardless of the reaction of the other person ' 
( which you can't possibly predict ) 
and learning when some thing is not your issue but the other persons  
so we are really each in our own process with this 
and attempts to interfere with another persons process 
usually tend to backfire
