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

Oof, yeah that's a big yikes from me @creative_writer. Sorry you had to endure such disrespect.

I am about to log off, but I am sending you, AND your inner child, a big pile of cuddles 💜😊🫂

@Jynx, I don’t know why I didn’t realise at the time she just wasn’t a good therapist for me. I was too hung up on people pleasing, it’s sickening.

I hope you rested well last night. I dozed off, didn’t sleep well so I didn’t end up at uni as early as I hoped. I’ll still make it to classes at least 🩷🫂

Hey @creative_writer been a busy busy day for me, and I got enough sleep I think, yet I am still bonkers tired! Silly human body, why you no get rested when I want?

Aye yeah the people-pleasing is insidious hey, but you can recognise it now - that's growth babeeeyyyy! All we can do is try to do better than yesterday, and sounds like you are getting better at recognising your needs and your worth. Might still feel like a long road ahead but you're still walking it, one step at a time 😎💜

@Jynx, what did you get up to today? Human bodies are weird.

I did go to uni, but right now I’m bed bound. I’m hoping I will be okay by tomorrow

Ain't they just haha @creative_writer

Not much today, did manage to get some sunshine which is good, I know I can get low on vitamin D. Will probs have an early night ay, rest these weary eyes.

I saw you've got gnarly migraine hitting you, so rough. I imagine the heat has probably exacerbated it hey. Hopefully you can hide out in air con. You got uni again tomorrow?

@Jynx, I take Vit D, don’t get enough otherwise. It is nice to get the natural Vit D. I think an early night sounds good. I might also need an early night too.

I’m more worried about the body weakness than migraine with uni tom. I need to feel stable enough to get through the day. You can always use pain relief for migraines. The one sided weakness is literally the first time this has happened to me in the midst of a migraine attack and I’m confused. Then again, I was confused when I first started having auras. Maybe it’s just migraine being weird

@creative_writer yeah for sure. I'm lucky I have a secluded yard so I can sunbathe nude haha. Apparently the tummy region is the best spot for sunlight absorbtion!

If you end up super worried, you can always call Nurse On Call? I can deffo relate to confusing body pains and sensations, before I got diagnosed with LPR I would freak out about my throat irritation and difficulty swallowing. Hopefully these feelings will pass after a bit of rest hey 🤞

I'm logging off soon (my Wed shift has been adjusted to start/finish earlier now) so I will say goodnight, wish you big restful vibes, and send through a big huggle too 🫂💜

@Jynx, I don’t think we could make our backyard secluded even if we tried. We have too many kitties in our neighbour. They can climb very high, onto roofs, trees.

Goodnight, I hope you have a restful night 💖🫂

I feel out of place.

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets

@creative_writer I can pretty much guarantee that no one else is thinking you're out of place hun. Sounds like you're hitting a bit of sensory overwhelm along the way - would a fiver outside be helpful? I do that a lot when social situations get too hectic for me. Helps quite a bit!
