The magic of tidying

Hi @Meowmy . Good to hear from you. Yes my family was/is dysfunctional too. I lost careers. No friends. But somehow got by. MI was a roller coaster. Don't understand why I'm still here. But here we all are.

@Dimity hey dimity,may be if we express a bit often can help. Ha. Goodnight

I'm still learning @Meowmy .

@Dimity @AuntGlow @Jynx good morning cool friends, am practising accepting imperfections of myself ha. Wish you a good day.

Support button isn't working.

Hi @Meowmy good thinking, I should try it myself. Have a good day.

Today chores and shopping, and perhaps garden. Wish: tidy livingroom.

Aww, that's great @Meowmy! How are you practicing self-acceptance today?

It sounds like this perfectionist part of you has been through so much and therefore needs lots of love and soothing... We'll get there. 💛💛

I love that you are so connected to your green sensibilities - is this something you could continue to evolve with over time? As in, can you create some small projects?

Also, you flow with your words really beautifully @Dimity! 🥰

It sounds like connecting here is really helpful for you, so I am glad to know you have this space to share what you are going through.

Feeling paralysed in a freeze response makes so much sense... it seems like you're feeling quite stuck, in a way. And that would be really, really hard. What do you have the most control over/capacity for right now?

YES - I am looking at my mess of a room right now and thinking, a clean space would help me organise my thoughts... maybe we can help each other! 🤩

@AuntGlow hey Auntglow, hope you had a good day. Thanks for supporting my journey of recovering from personality issues. I felt very insecure after been to an unfamiliar setting of heart scan. But I worked through and was able to feel okay in the mood. Hope you will have a good evening

@AuntGlow last time I saw my counsellor she advised me to distinguish what I could control from what I can't, too. Ɓut I'm having trouble untangling it. It feels I should be capable (if I made the effort and wasn't stupid/ignorant/lazy/physically and mentally unhealthy). I know l lose track of time and have brain fog which doesn't help. So I need to work on that and try to visualise what needs to be done and me doing it. That must sound crazy, that I can't picture what I want to work towards. Something's dead inside.

Hearing you @Dimity . Is it sorta like you can't see the forest for the trees?

I feel my brain is often like that and I have to take a step back to really analyse what I can and can't control. And the hard part is letting go of what we can't control.

Hugs to you. It's been great to see you.
