Woohoo, sounds like a productive mornin! And yeah I wanted to get a torch... ended up saying 'meh' cos I also needed groceries and that was enough shopping for me at 11pm at night!

Re: My Mosaic

I get that. It can shift so quickly and come of nowhere, can't it? 😣 @Bow 

What do you feel you need most right now? And could redirecting your attention to building Lego be helpful at all? 💛

Hello dark monster inside Bow. I see you're having a Time today. It's rough. 

I know you think that telling Bow to do those things will help her feel better, but then she is the one who has to deal with the fallout, the shame, and the icky feelings afterwards. Do you think you could let her choose a less scary option? 

 

Like lego, or chatting about markets and art, or some rubber bands and chewy ice?

Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yay, yes good stuff @Bow - our breath is one of the best ways to bring ourselves back to centre.

 

Like all of us Bow, you can only do it by putting one foot in front of the other, focusing on what is within your control, and taking it an hour, a minute at a time. No matter what, no feeling ever lasts forever. 

 

You got this, and we got you 💜

Re: My Mosaic

Be tot amazing if there was a magic pill to turn the volume down inside ya head yeah. Like you think of something different but then ya constantly get interrupted by these loud annoying thoughts. The amount of times I can’t remember whether I’ve said something to someone cause I get Interrupted. 

im just on the couch @Jynx  watching tv. Nothing interesting though. I got annoying heart palpitations tonight.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow that would be amazing, for sure. And that's SUCH a mood. My brain is always skipping off on random tangents, I can imagine if it's a dissociation thing it's even more disruptive!! 

 

Oh noooo too many thudthuds? You still doing your breathing? It may help 💜
