Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I can hear how concerned you are about this. Perhaps part of what is making it so intense for you is how much you're thinking about it, and worrying about it. Perhaps take a step back and acknowledge that you're under a lot of stress at the moment and things in our minds and bodies always get a bit whacky when we're stressed. You've been talking to Butterfly Foundation as well, yeah?

I’ve talked to them once last week @Jynx

I think it’s more than stress. I’ve had an issue with food a while but not this bad.

I think for many folks it's about control. Feeling as though so many things are outside your control, it can give a sense of empowerment to be able to take it back. Perhaps think of some others ways to gain that sense of control @Birdofparadise8 ?

I don't have any control right now @Jynx

Other than this but it's not good.

You can control some things @Birdofparadise8. How you spend your time, how you build a safe and personal environment in your home, who you choose to invest energy into, and how you decide to think through things, to name a few.

Even making the decision to go out and try something new is a thing you can control, and it might just being you some joy, new experiences, and change the way your day-to-day is unfolding.

Yeah maybe @Jynx

Oh well, I'll see what happens.

Anyway, what are you up to tomorrow?

Not much @Birdofparadise8 just work. Gotta do laundry at some point, been putting it off for way too long. What about yourself?

I need to do some uni, I want to go for a bike ride, I'm getting my covid booster and I also have an appointment at uni for a research study I might start @Jynx

Hi @creative_writer

How are you?
