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

@creative_writer oh nice one, haha I wouldn't worry too much I am the same with some stuff. I really need to change my sheets, for instance 😅
Nah not too much, probably just continue watching the new Avatar on Netflix later.

@creative_writer haha yep, I will probs chuck my dirty sheet into my closet for now, until I need it again 😅
Oh and pillow cases too - apparently that also has a big impact on pimples and blackheads and stuff. I saw someone on reddit who said they slept on a fresh towel every night and it cleared their acne right up!
Sounds like even if you're distracted, it's by something productive and fun, so it still counts haha.
Thanks hun, it's not bad! Not the best, but not bad 😊💜

Oooh how lush @creative_writer - maybe hand washing them by hand could help with their longevity? I have a couple of items which I only wash by hand, I've gotten used to the process now but can be quite arduous for sure. Worth it though if it means that I am spending less on replacing stuff every 6-12 months.
Hmm maybe not a towel, but like a tea towel? They're pretty smooth. But not as smooth as silk lol.
Yo, we're neurodiverse, I reckon if it's shopping for something that benefits you then it's productive! Gotta take those small wins, yaknow? Sounds like you're doing your research! Bamboo is the best for softness in my opinion but I don't know much about viscose so can't help you there!
Oh nice, whatcha got on your Netflix list?
I will say goodnight now hun, I'm logging off soon, but I'll be back round tomorrow so we can talk tv and scarves some more then! Hope you have a restful night 😊💜

@creative_writer yeah my skin is soooo sensitive! Itchy clothing tags are like, Jynxsbane haha. I always keep some stitch unpicker tools handy to remove them from new clothes. Also means I simply cannot wear knitted clothing!
I have mostly bamboo socks, and now you got me thinking maybe all my clothes should be bamboo! It really is the best. I'll have to check out the viscose ones to see if they suit as well!
How did you go with uni this morning? And are you still feeling nauseous? I saw on a random reddit thread the other day that apparently the smell of rubbing alcohol can help with nausea! They use it in hospitals sometimes. Also, fresh ginger is amazing for nausea too. I like having a ginger tea with lemon and honey when feeling ick in my tum.
