Contamination thoughts
I am struggling to shake off these contamination thoughts and I can't help but feel gross. I've already taken a shower but still feel dirty

@Jynx maybe I am more sensation seeking than I thought I was. Or maybe it’s a warning sign, I don’t really know at this point. I do things to escape inner dread.
I was cranky I lost my favourite lavender sanitiser too, and the sanitiser I took to uni smelt different and weird. I can still smell it on my hands, I may have used too much by accident. On top of that todays class on mental health was heavy as it covered trauma.
Going back to what I got. I got coated jeans, a bamboo t shirt and some almond oil for my mum. My mum swears by almond oil for her hands

Hi @creative_writer
That's really tough working on an assignment that has triggering content. I wonder if you'd consider reaching out to your school supports while you're doing the assignment which may allow you to get an extension, as I hear these triggers are slowing progress on it which is very understandable. That way you can give yourself breaks as needed
Hope the afternoon classes have been a bit easier on you

@creative_writer I mean... could be both right? Hmm... wonder if it depends on if you're seeking familiar vs. novel sensations maybe? I don't actually know enough to make a comment but now I totally wanna research this! Let's see what google says about - 'Is sensation-seeking also an emotional regulator'
Okay was gonna share some of what I found but there's actually a LOT so... probably an after work activity for me 😅
Glad you found your sanitiser! Lavender is such a lush smell, hey. I'm also really partial to jasmine, I'm so excited that it will be jasmine blooming season very soon! Or already is! Must find me a jasmine plant haha.
How'd you go getting some work done? Don't sweat it if you didn't, some days are just a write off hey.
