Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

@rav3n Monday is going OK i guess.

But I just got a call from my pbs that put a downer on things. We have been getting some info about my incoming housemate and I'm getting scared and anxious about next week now.

@The-red-centaur i haven't heard of that series before but sounds interesting! is classic sci-fi your fav genre?

ohh that sucks!! have you had okay experiences with housemates in the past? is there anything in particular that you're worried about, like boundaries n stuff?

Re: Red's house

Highly recommend Douglas Adams. He is so funny. I mostly like scifi, bit of fantasy and sometimes classics. I prefer English literature to American.

@rav3n i was informed my potential housemate was charged with indecent assault yesterday.

After i posted that, i was informed by service provider he is now being moved into another house (male only environment) and they are looking for other potential housemates.

It's a big relief, I was getting severe trauma responses.

@rav3n I'm actually not ok. I'm sorry.

Re: Red's house

Sorry you are not feeling ok @The-red-centaur. I think I’m the circumstances most people would not feel ok. So I think your reaction is pretty normal. So finding something to help you feel better would be next. Do you have some go to strategies for calming yourself, like do you normally use distraction, or talking to someone etc

The market ended up getting cancelled due to severe weather.

Re: Red's house

I've had a lot going on this month...I'm trying not to recede into my mind and my trauma. It hurts. Family stuff. Birthday coming up too. I have finished with my psychologist so do have her to talk to about this anymore. I feel like it's stuff I can't talk to my support workers about. I don't know how to express my thoughts and memories. I don't want to overwhlem myself or anyone with this. I don't know how to put this back in the locked parts of my mind.
