Life and trauma

@MJG017 maybe that tiny glimmer of hope?

I don't know it all feels too good to be true.

@Former-Member

Hope often feels like that when so many things have gone wrong. I like to think the universe is just random. So when so many things go wrong, something good is due. So maybe don't look at is as a glimmer of hope, but that you've rolled nothing but 1's and 2's for a while. That 5 or 6 is overdue to come up. Even a 4 would be nice.

@MJG017 i like that way of looking at it. Just would be nice for something to go my way for once, just to be able to catch my breath for a bit.

How did you sleep? Got any plans for the day?

@Former-Member

To be fair, if i meet the universe one day, i'm going to kick it where it hurts! 🤣

Well i woke up and thought it feels like i could get up. It was 10.15! So i think i got some sleep. I didn't go to bed until about 2am, so my sleep is a bit of a mess at the moment.

I worked on an assignment a bit this morning, and just noticed it was after 2pm, so time for some lunch. I feel like a chicken rappa from Oporto but the children that work there, much like our local KFC, cant cook chips to save their lives! I've eaten crispier jelly! But i always get the chips and than i get annoyed when they're soggy. So long story short, i'll probably have a chicken rappa for lunch while i look angrily at a box of chips that were cooked using a warm smile.

What are you up to?

@MJG017 oh I'm with you on kicking the universe where it hurts, I'm over the sh!t it keeps throwing our way.

I'm glad you got some sleep and there's nothing wrong with waking up at 10.15am. I laid on my lounge earlier and managed a short nap, was only about an hour but a bonus that I didn't wake up having a panic attack, so I'm taking that as a small win.

Good job on getting some of your assignment done. What is it with places that can't cook chips properly, like it's really not that hard. Chips are supposed to be crispy covered with lots of yummy salty goodness 😂. I hope today they surprise you and you get yummy, crispy chips.

I have to go do my daily routine which means leaving my house and dealing with people. I'd much rather stay in my bubble 😂. Oh and i have to go to the shops, icky.

@Jynx @Ru-bee are you around at all please. Things have just gone from ok to really bad and I'm struggling.

Hello @Till23, thankyou for letting me know.

Today has mostly been ok but things are just starting to come crashing down.

@tyme not a crisis situation. I'm trying to keep myself distracted and just needing to chat to take my mind off of things.
