@AuntGlow I'm not sure what I need overall at this stage. I've been trying to break things down so i can focus on one thing at a time but my brain just throws everything at me at once and then things spiral quickly in those moments.

Going for a walk with Casper is good and I'm proud of myself for keeping it up even when I haven't felt like it. I just lay on my lounge with him, usually try to catch up on forums posts while a movie is playing in the background.

Hopefully you can get a break soon, being out in nature is always lovely.

Good afternoon, @MissGremlin!

I completely relate to this... something I am realising is that surrendering to how I feel and allowing myself to have a big cry can clear some of that overwhelm. Does that ever help you?

Did you and Casper go for a walk today? 💖

The forums/movie combo sounds really comforting.

How are things feeling for you at the moment?

Hello @AuntGlow crying feels very vulnerable for me as when I do cry i feel as though I don't have control. In saying that tears have flowed quite a bit lately and I haven't been able to stop them but then it's left me feeling scared.

I'm saving the walks for during the week and taking a break on the weekend at the moment.

Things are sort of feeling okayish but I can feel some things building inside of me but naming them doesn't feel possible right now.

I've just sat down for 5 minutes since I've been up today, have a few more things to do though, then I'm hoping to have a cuppa and connect with the community here.

How are you going?

How are you doing over there @MissGremlin ?

@NightFury sort of feeling a few things at the moment, don't know if you ever get that feeling of when things start building up inside? I'm safe though and sipping on my cuppa.

How are you doing my sweet?

Maybe I have the same kind of feeling @MissGremlin

I'm confused about how I am and how I feel. I'm also safe and drinking my coffee

@NightFury i hear you sweet, that's exactly how I feel. Like I can't name the feelings but I can feel them. We can sit together in this, sending you hugs ❤️

Hugs @MissGremlin

Did you make it back to the shops with your meat today?

Thankyou sweet @NightFury ❤️.

Yes I did, this time I remembered my fidget so it was an easier trip than yesterday.

Glad it was easier for you today than yesterday @MissGremlin

What else have you gotten up to today?

@NightFury boring adulting tasks, washing, dishes etc.

Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment then I'm hoping to make a craft activity that I've been meaning to do for a couple of months now.
