Not Coping

Hi @Blackbird11 @tyme @ENKELI @bartart23 @outlander @Bow @Kyle1 @creative_writer @Shaz51 @Melbcoffeesnob @Snowie

How is everyone today? I hope you're all doing okay. Does anyone have anything planned?

Hey @Birdofparadise8

I hope your day goes well today

Hi @Snowie

I'm just doing some washing. I'm also watching Reacher. It's such a good show.

I need to do some packing today. I went around hunting for boxes yesterday. I just need to get some tape.

What are you up to today?

@Birdofparadise8

I watched the Jack Reacher movies, they were so good. I think it's from the same author.

Not up to a lot today. Officially finished xmas shopping yesterday. Just have to wait on a few things to come this week. Might start wrapping, have been putting it off.

Do you have to pack up all your stuff?

Yeah, I have to pack it all up for when I come back to Melbourne. I move the next day. I fly in on the 5th, and everyone is coming over to help me move on the 6th. I also have to pack my stuff with what I'm taking to Hobart.

Yeah, I'm watching the TV series two, it's so good.

Nice, I bet you're happy with that.

I was walking down the stairs and I got to the bottom and someone walked out of the common room and I was startled I basically jumped again. I don't know why this keeps happening. I need it to stop because he and I both knew I jumped. It's so embarrassing and frustrating for me. It's like adrenalin is racing through my body, getting ready to fight when there is nothing to fight. @Snowie

Well I hope you get all the packing done @Birdofparadise8

I feel like sometimes I am constantly in the flight or fight mode. I think it's normal when we are dealing with other things. I get startled quite easily too.

Yeah, thank you. I won't do it all today I still need to use some of the things in my room and kitchen stuff.

Mmm okay. I wouldn't say I like that it keeps happening. I wish I could turn it off. It only seems to happen around uni and people my age. Maybe it's because of the bullying. I have no clue. I'll ask my psych about it when I see him on Wednesday and see what he thinks. @Snowie

Do you have a lot to wrap?

It might be good to speak to your psych about it. They might have a good insight into it @Birdofparadise8

I have got a lot to wrap. Might have gone overboard with my kids but I'm allowed to!!

Hahaha @Snowie

Well I hope you enjoy the wrapping.

I've packed up all my art stuff, so next is the pantry.
