Re: Listening to triggering music
@Jynx getting imposter syndrome for mental health issues feels so odd but it does happen. As I said, part of it is probably the mind wanting to minimise it to decrease the emotional load. Minimising it does not work.
I’ll try to make a mental note to look at the thread when I’m ready. I have to get through some other pressing readings first for volunteer work

@creative_writer yeah true, brain trying to protect itself, and maybe it worked at first but now it's wired in and now that in itself has become the issue.
Course! All things in their own time. When does volunteering kick off?

Re: Listening to triggering music
@Jynx perhaps it did help before. Maybe the voice originates from the invalidation from other people.
Volunteering starts in March, but I have training before then

Re: Listening to triggering music
@creative_writer oh yeah that's entirely likely - was even reading about that recently, the way that our brains will repeat the hurtful, invalidating things we hear from others to us in our own voices, making it feel like our idea and thus our truth. I think this is why I like IFS so much - gives the tools to be able to have healthier inner dialogue.
Aww yay, I am excited for you!! Are you mostly excited or mostly nervous you reckon?
Also I'm off! I hope you are feeling more settled, and that the rest of your night is chill! Catch you tomorrow 😊💜

Re: Listening to triggering music
@Jynx we do internalise what others say to us. It’s kind of the reason why I’ve become so avoidant too. I fear being invalidated, judged and not being believed.
I think it’s a combination of both. I’m hoping the training is straightforward and the content is familiar. You do have to go into the real world to develop your skills. I do also want an income too, but I’m sure jobs will be popping up.
I’m doing a bit better. I hope you have a restful night 💖😊

Re: Listening to triggering music
@creative_writer aye for sure!! Can be hard to find our safe people!!
I legit did have a restful night!! For the first time in a long time, I was able to roll over n go back to sleep this morning, so managed to get 7.5 hours instead of like 3.5 so hooray!!
How you feeling today?

@Jynx finding safe people is very hard. Though I have noticed myself growing reserved as I’ve grown up.
Glad to hear you slept well. It makes a huge difference.
I’ve been a bit migraine-y, might explain why I’ve been moody too. I’ve been more achy since yesterday. Maybe it’s post sinus infection symptoms. It was a prolonged illness bout. Moral of the story, if you go to a crowded place where bacterial and viral strands are going around, wear a mask. If you think Melbourne city is crowded, East Asian countries are something else

Re: Listening to triggering music
@Jynx I took it easy today. I finished the police check for volunteer work. Watched a bit of TV. I’m making fish for dinner.
Also my mum had a conversation about her first cousin. It turns out my mum’s female relative went to my mum’s first cousin and told him my mum is looking for a partner for me even though my mum said not to. Now my mum’s cousin (who is a lot younger than her) is interested 😬
