Running

@Jynx

My left eyelid is twitching which tells me that I'm emotionally overloaded...

I'm... I stop to think about how I am to give you an honest answer and my eyes fill up with tears...

@Jynx I am ok. How are you my darling Jynxy?

@avant-garde do you find it cathartic to cry? I am disappointed in your mother, though I don't have a right to be. What made her become that awful excuse of a parent? It certainly wasn't you.
You're in my prayers sweetheart xo

@ENKELI

It was my dad's fault, mum was fine before he hit her

Crying helps

Oh @avant-garde that is so fair. You have a good connection to your body and its signals - I get that eye twitch too, I think it's sensory overload mostly. But sensory overload is always intimately tied to my emotional state too.

Have you had much on today?

Going alright @ENKELI just been pottering mostly today. Got a butternut squash staring at me, gonna chop it up during my break I think - making pumpkin and sage risotto 😋 How are you?

@Jynx

I just got home after 7 long hours.

ENT appointment (officially discharged now thank goodness)

Art group (messing around with waterproof paper)

Grocery shopping

Now I'm back home listening to the radio curled up on my bed

@Jynx butternut has the best flavour. Enjoy that risotto!

I have nothing on, watering the plants and think of something for dinner.

There's a reason I can't handle anything on my face...

TW: sexual abuse

I had to feel heard, I needed to speak it because I couldn't let it go until I did

That's truly awful @avant-garde - sounds like it's been sitting heavy for you. I am glad you were able to share with us.

What do you feel you might be needing right now hun? Validation and support? Or unpacking/tryna understand? Distraction? We're here for you.

Hehe ty @ENKELI hope you find some good noms 💜

@Jynx

Valuation and support, I just wish someone could actually hold me...

@avant-garde my sweetheart I wish I could give you hugs and let you cry on my shoulder for as long as you needed to.

While friends tell me I have God so I am blessed, I am reminded of what a friend said to me many years ago "Yes I have God, but God can't give me hugs."

If you want to hug my Enkeli teddy you can close your eyes and think of me holding you and stroking your back xo
