Something’s not right

Piecing the shattered glass together

Piecing the shattered glass together

I decided to start a new thread, my new chapter in my life is going to focus on healing my traumas, building resilience and self-worth and taking the steps of achieving mood stability. I am praying this year will be better than the last. Last year the SI got really intense, was so close to losing hope and I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces like shattered glass. It all still feels overwhelming, I have a long way to go on my healing journey, but I think I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful about the future.

@Kyle1, I’m glade it’s a better day for you, I think with time you find what works for you 💜

Just resting up, feel burning in my throat and nose. I didn’t realise I was sick, might explain the migraines a bit too.

@Kyle1, I’ll try to have a decent meal tonight, maybe fish. It makes sense in a way, might have contributed to my miserable long weekend. I’m covid neg at least, but influenza and other pesky viral infections are also on the rise.

Do you have much planned for tonight?

I have invested in a new oil burner. I plan on using it and simply enjoying the perfume 😊

@Kyle1, that sounds lovely. I have a diffuser for essential oil, just need to get around to cleaning it 🙂

Oh gosh... they can get so gummy, can't they!!

Nothing a good splash of hot water and detergent won't fix, though 🙂

Do you have a favourite scent? @creative_writer

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@Kyle1, yes, it’s all gross and sticky. I don’t know what’s my favourite scent, but I love florals. How about you? 🙂

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@creative_writer I really like jasmine. Ylang ylang. Patchouli. Cedarwood. And neroli

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

Hello @creative_writer

I'm having a good morning, thank you. A friend asked for help today at his building site, and though I'd spent many hours there last year working, I felt anxious. Quite anxious. But at the same time I felt proud that he would ask me...

Now I'm done and about to enjoy myself a coffee.

How are you, today? I hope you had a restful night and your morning gentle 🙏
