I can’t cope

@MissGremlin this whole forum is a big source of warm fuzzies for me, thank you for being part of that! You too Cap!

@Captain24 well here's a goodnight in advance, just in case 😜

(づ๑•ᴗ•๑)づ♡

Also you're always allowed to ask if ever unsure about something that's happened on the forums. I know it can feel uncomfortable to do so, but moving towards conflict in relationships is a really healthy thing to practice 😉

Yes totally depends on what one is doing as to how speedy that clock goes! Weird ways to speed up time: have fun, get into flow-state, dissociate... 😅

Those are great! Chats are such a highlight they ought to count twice hehe.

Doggos doing anything cute? Surviving work, or the shops? Getting chores smashed out? All could count as glimmers/small wins to my mind.

Resistance isn't necessarily a bad thing - it can be something to learn from, to better understand the things we might be clinging to, or areas that might be just outside awareness that could be worked on. You got this, I believe in you!

Day has been chill, chores and watching Drag Race, and had dumplings for dins. Trixie has been extra cuddly too, bonus!

I told you I would wait around with you and that’s what I intend on doing! @MissGremlin

My sanity is out the window right now. Keikos is only grass on half the sides and the top. Jetts is laying on the grass so he will have a whole border of it… what have I done??!

wont you start your bedtime routine when you are finished? I hope you can sleep it off.

@Captain24 thankyou sweet but if you do need to go to sleep it's ok. I don't want to make things worse for you by you staying up when you're already tired. Besides we'll have tomorrow to chat again ☺️.

Haha oh gees, so much grass. Note for self, don't use pictures with too much grass 😂.

I'll get to start my routine once my friend has been about 9.15pm. I'm worried cos I'm so tired now but I know I'm going to lose that sleepiness and be wide awake come time to actually go to bed.

Hahaha you’re funny 🤣 @Jynx. Thanks though, much appreciated!

I just go into rejection mode and beat myself up. I struggle to step forward and say. I know it’s healthy but I’ve always been shut down and that it’s all my fault. So that’s just what I’m use to and kind of expect.

At work though my time blindness can go completely the other way. Or if I’m waiting for something or going somewhere.

I haven’t really been smashing out chores, I’m trying to be gentle with myself. I did smash a few Wednesday when I got home from work at 8 in the morning but I needed to be busy to stay awake for my psych appointment at 10!

Nah the doggos have just been themselves. I did get out yesterday to get dog food and I looked after mums dog for the day and I went grocery shopping this morning as there is a major event in town this weekend and half the main streets are closed both days and there will be no parking and people everywhere! Like of 1000 extra than normal.

Aahhh how sweet she is extra cuddly. It’s nice when they are like that. Good for you getting chores done! Did you make the dumplings?

It’s all good @MissGremlin. You’ve had a rough day and I told you I’d be here for you until it was time for you to go to bed. So I’ll be here for you for whatever you need.

I hope you don’t lose it. I’m hoping you get to have a good nights sleep. What are you doing to chill while you wait?

@Captain24 I've been trying to hold myself this evening but everything has hit really hard suddenly. Those messages earlier today really hurt, it's bringing up so many painful memories. Sitting with such heavy and intense thoughts right now.

I'm safe for now and I'm trying to focus on my diamond art but it's hard to see through tears.

I have a friend from hospital that I actually told most things too. She wants me to call her whenever I need to. I’m not sure that I will but I will Facebook message her At times @MissGremlin

I’m just going to take it easy having Keiko as well. I might get a couple of things done during the day but I’m not going to just push myself until my job list is done. I do like to have everything done so that then the next couple of days are nothing but I’ll just see what happens. I have been liking my new routine though. There’s not really a lot though. Vacuuming and washing the floors is impossible with all three of them running around inside and out. But they look ok so can just wait until Sunday.

At least you did get a bit last night. I totally get the being anxious about today. I can only imagine how hard it is. Being drained is hard.

How are you going to look after yourself today? You really need some self care and self compassion.

I took a photo just then.

@Captain24 ! I can't believe how much I'm in love with this photo!!!

I’m thinking of getting it as a diamond art. I don’t have a good photo of the two of them. @tyme

I’m sorry that it’s all come back up. The hurt must be unbearable. @MissGremlin. Maybe focus may help. It can’t change that it happened. Though. Could you have a shower before your friend gets there? Just something to relax?

@Captain24 i can't have showers at night time. I'm just sitting here doing diamond art. I'm trying to think of what I'm going to clean tomorrow, I need to get the dining area done but there's nowhere to put everything. I thought about getting containers to put things in for now but of course I don't have enough money to do that before the inspection. I really wish I didn't have so much stuff.
