Running

I hear you @avant-garde . Thank you for sharing. In terms of the police having no idea about the church, christianity, the people, baptism etc, can be so frustrating because it means you are started from scratch - and that takes energy - physical and emotional.

As for your friend saying those things, I'm mindful how that could affect you. I can see how much effort you are putting into so many things and just want you to know that I'm sitting with you.

Hearing you @avant-garde

Wishing it weren't so.

I also have worked really hard to build support networks. People get scared off by the accumulated trauma so in the end I had to go with formal supports and went from NEAMI to NDIS. It has not been an easy journey but I still don't have any body for "my" emergencies. I just have to make sure I make the most from those resources that I don't spill too much socially.

I would reckon it would take a few months, at least, to start easing up from the police interview. Go really gently with your self.

@Appleblossom figured you would get it, thank you

You too @tyme

hi @rav3n

hiiii @avant-garde how was your weekend?

@rav3n turbulent, how about yours

@avant-garde did you wanna chat about your turbulent weekend? or wanna leave it in the past for now? i pretty much spent my whole weekend researching cars. i have never spent so many hours just scrolling through different models and makes.

has today been a bit calmer, did you have much on?

@rav3n kind of did want to chat about something... emotional deflecting...

I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday, how I deflect to physical reasoning rather than being honest about my emotional reasoning... that when someone asks me how I am, I go to physical wellness rather than emotional wellness...

oh that's an interesting pick up from your friend @avant-garde do you agree with her, do you think you emotionally deflect?

personally i think a question like "how are you" can call for an answer on physical and/or emotional wellness tbh. but outside of this question, do you feel you emotionally deflect to other ones too?
