Not Coping

Hey @Shaz51. I’ve spent some time away. Is your mum ok?
I’ve nearly completed my to-do list for today and then I’ll stop and eat something. Then I might start in tomorrows list. I don’t know how I’ll feel after all the appointments.

We’re going for 8 days @Birdofparadise8. And considering my parents are my biggest trigger, it could be interesting.
Good for you for getting out!

Oh that's not good how can you limit them triggering you @Captain24?

You have a fan @Birdofparadise8? I grew up without aircon, and my go to was to get a spray bottle of water or a wet cloth and basically just spray/wipe my face, neck, chest and let the fan do its work. Surprisingly refreshing. Focusing on neck/tops of feet/face can help a lot cos that's where you've got main blood vessels/arteries, so you can cool your blood and thus whole body down quicker.

Yes but very small I think its because the room has been locked up with that how weather we had over the past few days @Jynx

I hope you know, for what it's worth, that we see you @creative_writer and we care very much about you. It sucks that it sounds like you don't get that same level of recognition and care from people in your life. You are very much worth the time and effort and deserving of love and support. We're all pretty fond of you here I can definitely tell you that!

@Birdofparadise8 hopefully you can get a nice cross-breeze if you open up doors/windows later this evening! Still a few hot days to go but Tuesday it's only getting up to 24 - then back up in the 30's the rest of the week 😩 I am not a hot weather lover so I feel you, heat makes me so cranky hahaha.

Yeah I have the window open which is good. I just wish my room has air-con @Jynx

A LOT of self care! @Birdofparadise8.

At least the place we are staying has 2 separate living areas so the can stay downstairs and me upstairs. But when both want to watch a different tv show at the same time I’ll probably go to my room.

I will also try and go to the beach everyday on my own for a swim. Just for a break.

You guys will be sick of me if I can’t cope. It’s a little stressful preparing for it and it’ll be a whole lot of stress there. The last time we went was when I discovered that I’m completely different to them. I’m not as self-centred or rude as they are.
