@tyme

I might go through a grounding exercise on here, that usually helps, someone to notice.

Also need to do today's packing goal

Breathing? 5 senses? @avant-garde Any grounding exercises in particular?

@tyme

5 senses usually

Feel free to share your 5 senses discovery here @avant-garde

5 things that I can see

1. My 3D Big Ben jigsaw puzzle
2. 6 storage cubes wrapped in garbage bags
3. The little crochet flowerpot with one sunflower and two violets
4. The bracelet I made that says PTSD awareness
5. The stitch socks that remind me of dreamy and how much I miss her

4 things that I can feel

1. My smooth tablet cover in my left hand
2. The rough bits on my tattered left big toe nail
3. How the front of my arms are cold
4. The yoga block underneath my right foot

3 things that I can hear

1. The game show on tv
2. My fridge gently humming
3. The wind through the leaves outside

2 things that I can smell

1. The beautiful roll on essential oil I just put on
2. The musty smell of my tiny unit

1 thing that I can taste

1. Faint flavour of black forest cake in my mouth

I wish it didn't hurt this much

Hey @avant-garde anything you wanna get off your chest?

@Jynx

Working on writing just that

I started moving when I was 21... I've moved house 17 times excluding the homelessness periods...

All this moving... all of this hassle and pain and hurt and homelessness... I can't help but feel that it's a direct result of the unseen consequences of domestic and familial violence!

I was a kid escaping when my mother couldn't! and nobody helped me! Nobody helped me! Why didn't anyone help me! I was a child!

17 moves... this will make 18... not counting the amount of times I moved rooms and locations because of bleeping Delilah...

I was an adult and there was no help for me escaping my dad.

It doesn't feel right.

Every move hurts.

And what happens to my dad?

Nothing.

Moving is hard. I did it a lot when younger. @avant-garde Just do what you have to do. Don’t push yourself too much. It can be very confronting to consider perpetrators who get away with a lot. Best revenge… live your best life.

you can do this. You are resilient.
