Something’s not right

Oscillation between two mind sets

Oscillation between two mind sets

Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets

@Former-Member I just drank some warm water with saffron 🙂. I love the herb, but it’s so expensive.

I do sometimes get frustrated with compression clothing and bathroom visits, but it’s worth it at the end of the day.

I hope the chemist visit turns out okay. I know it can be hard with physical health issues. I barely leave the house when I’m sick. I’m probably going to try to wind down and will have dinner, not sure what. What are you having for dinner?

Oh that sounds lovely @creative_writer 🍵☺️

yes it’s very expensive isn’t it? I sometimes have it in green tea as a little treat, but not very often😋

Yes it’s bothersome having squishies on when going to the bathroom… especially out and about where there’s a lot less room than at home! But you’re very right - the benefits far outweigh the fiddly aspects 🙂🌺
The chemist visit went really well thanks - I paid over the phone so the staff could just drop it out to the car, where I parked right next to the front door. I really appreciate these guys - they do above and beyond to help out 🙂

yes I can really understand what it’s like when feeling unwell and not being physically able to leave home - it’s not very easy at all..hugs darling, I do understand 🤗💜

wind down and dinner sounds like a good plan… I had some leftovers (lamb shanks and veg) earlier, so I’ll have some crackers and homemade cheese for later on’s I think.
I hope you enjoy a bit of rest and a yummy soothing winter meal 🌺🙂🤗

@Former-Member it is expensive, I often have it with matcha, I feel like it works better when I add 2-3 strands.

Happy to hear they were happy to help out.

I’m waiting for dinner to be done, having chicken, vegetable and brown rice. Lamb and veg sounds delicious 😋

My MH is going downhill rn

Sounds very nice with matcha @creative_writer 😊🌺

Dinner sounds lovely - I hope you enjoy it 🙂

oh, sweetness, I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling not so good right now - is there anything that we can do to help things? 🌺💜

@Former-Member I don’t know, even self care feels really hard right now. That shouldn’t be this hard

@Former-Member trauma won't leave

I’m so sorry @creative_writer 💜

Hang in there, keep breathing, and if you feel it’s ok to try, do you have some grounding techniques you can use darling? 🌺💜

here with you 🫂

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets

@Former-Member I can try grounding. I’m curled up in bed right now, feeling really overwhelmed and on edge. I know it passes, but it always seems to come back

In response to: Re: Oscillation between two mind sets

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets

Sounds really hard @creative_writer 💜

Yes, if you feel like trying, focus on the warm weight of the blankets, and the softness of your pillow…would that be ok? 🌺💜
