Well done on getting stuck into your lego @MissGremlin

I'm...feeling a little heavy.

I put my assignment away. I got 1000 words done today and I'm trying to be kind to myself and reminding myself that it doesn't mean that I'm failing and that it's okay to do things a little slower.

I got a message from my counsellor. She's taking four weeks leave and needs to reschedule my next appointment. It's the second time we've rescheduled it. So, I can empathise with you.

@NightFury the Lego is a good distraction.

Sorry that you're feeling a little heavy. But well done for getting 1000 words done today, you've done amazing ❤️. Progress is progress no matter how small ❤️.

Oh that sucks about it having to be rescheduled, I'm sorry. I find it hard cos I've got so much to unpack at the moment but instead I'm just having to sit with everything which isn't exactly comfortable.

@MissGremlin are you awake?

@NightFury i am. Are you ok sweet?

@MissGremlin No.

A couple of hours ago someone came into my house while I was at home and stole my house keys and car keys off the bench. Luna scared them away, she barked and went at them, they took off running. I've had the police here, I've had the locksmiths in to change the house locks and my car has been taken to a friend's house...

But now everyone's gone. I don't know how to feel safe at home.

@NightFury oh my sweet, that's so scary. I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now. I'm glad you have Luna and that she scared them away. I think feeling safe right now would be incredibly hard given what's happened but the fact the you've had the locks changed and your car has been taken to a friend's house is a good move. Is there anyone that could stay with you tonight?

I'm here for you sweet ❤️

No, no one. @MissGremlin

I know that I'm safe, and that they can't get in because the locks have been changed, but I still don't "feel" safe. They have me spooked.

@NightFury that's completely understandable that you feel spooked after what's happened.

Now that everyone is gone have you been able to sit down and take a breather, maybe have a cuppa or just sit and cuddle with Luna. I'm here with you for as long as you need sweet ❤️

I'm trying to calm my body @MissGremlin

I keep checking that the doors are locked and pacing the house, looking out the windows.

I'm trying to force myself to sit and breathe.

@NightFury ok sweet. Let's take this one little step at a time together. Can you find somewhere that's comfy to sit and just allow your body to rest for a moment?
