Hi, it's been about a year since I was on last and I was a new member then. It was a pretty terrible year and I disconnected and dissociated from pretty much everything. It became clear that I've suffered with c-PTSD since I was a kid, and misdiagnosis and the medications that accompanied them on top of my dad's death just pushed me too far within myself. I'm better now and awaiting the help of a service dog and hoping to really start living again. Anyway, I'm slowly trying to re-emerge and hope y'all won't mind me coming back. I have continued with tumbling as it's become quite therapeutic for me. I'm actually about to start the polishing stage on some labradorite and so far so good with them. Of course, I forgot to take before pics though.

Welcome back. Rocks and tumbling are very therapeutic. I love to tumble rocks. It works for lots of people. Hope you get your dog soon. Take one day at a time. Be kind to yourself.

Thanks y'all. This place felt like a safe one and I'm glad to be back on. The service dog process started about a year ago, and there was a physical developmental issue with the first dog. Then the 2nd dog I was going to be partnered with showed issues with living with other dogs right before he was ready to come home with me. I'm on a 3rd pairing now and supposed to be getting a date to get her soon. I'm just a little nervous that I'm being strung a long.
I'm just starting to try out wire wrapping the rocks with my daughters too. We'll definitely have to look at the techniques. I bet they'll be better at it than I am, haha.

Welcome back. Maybe the time delay with your canine friend and your match is all meant to be. The right match will happen.

3rd times a charm. I bet you and your new dog will be a match made in heaven. I'm glad you're back- this is a great place to get obsessed about rocks and lose your troubles.
