You defiantly also need to get someone to give you a big hug, from me.

I had to get information on Automatic behaviour for the Lawyers. I searched the web every waking minute for days, (in English French and German) but I found so little, and I didn’t come up with anything that I found sufficiently conclusive. I ended up with a file full of printouts that could conceivably be linked together to (in short) prove that this is an unusual disorder, Automatic behaviour is a symptom, the symptoms vary greatly in each patient, and nowhere near enough is known etc.

There was a preliminary hearing about 3 weeks ago, and the day before yesterday my Lawyer called to say that the guy has stopped the process!!!!
I was lucky that even without the N. the whole thing was in a grey area, as to weather a sale without a Notary was valid or not. I’m waiting to get an official renunciation, just to make certain he’s not going to start it all again. Fantastic, I wasn’t looking forward to having to get all the important parts translated into French.

Unfortunately I met my Boyfriend 10 days after this all happened, now I try not to do anything without him checking it out beforehand. The big problem is that he travels a lot, and if I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m unlikely to be able to think far enough to ask him.
It’s also frustrating to never dare make a nice surprise for him, since the last one fell flat. He had been downloading stuff for my Kids, and his Hard disk was full, so I spent about $500.- on a new one and about the same again on various Computer bits and pieces I “thought” he’d like. Luckily the store took it all back. It was especially ridiculous as I went to the most expensive shop I know, “knowing” that if he really wanted the things, he had enough contacts to get them cheaper. He even looked them all up on the Internet, and even I could have bought them for less than ½ what I paid. He threatened to take all my cards away, but now I hardly dare buy anything. I don’t have a clue how everyone will get any Xmas presents.

It is all so frustrating.
I can cope with mislaid items, I know the likelihood they’ll turn up somewhere outweighs the possibility they’ve been stolen. I hate it when someone refers to plans I’ve made, thing I’ve said or done etc. and I haven’t a clue what they are talking about.
I just find it pretty terrifying to think I could be out in the big bad world and unintentionally wrecking havoc or even worse, damaging my own little “safe haven”

It is a great relief to discover that someone out there is also walking around doing more complex things than putting dirty socks in the fridge etc.
You’re so right about never knowing how much of the day you spend like that, I only ever find out when a problem arises because of it. It makes me wonder if the problem isn’t far more widely spread than is assumed, and how many more of us there are

I’d be very interested to know why you feel better in Barcelona.
