@NightFury oh that's absolutely awesome sweet. Well done, I'm so proud of you ❤️.

Oh, this makes complete sense! @MissGremlin Thank you for letting me know, it's helpful to hear where you're at so that I can help you to get closer towards what works for you.

Taking breaks sounds like a good plan, I can hear you have a lot on that you're trying to make time for.

It's okay that you can't name them right now... could you potentially notice them and say, "Okay, I see you." And if you can, maybe add, "What do you need right now?"

How is connecting with the community feeling tonight?

I am rather sleepy today - I have a few big weeks ahead with work, study, etc. But guess what?! I passed my essay!! I got 78%, which isn't so bad. 💛

78% well done @AuntGlow!!!

@AuntGlow i don't like when my emotions take over and everything feels out of control, like it's not even me, it's frightening.

There really is so much going on at the moment and trying to catch my breath in-between has felt almost impossible. I really do try so hard to slow things down, take it one step at a time but my brain just goes into that mode of it's all or nothing. Like everything has to be done or solved right then and there or else it's like the end of the world.

I've tried to sit with those feelings tonight even though it's frustrating to not know exactly what they are. It's sort of gotten to that point where everything feels like it's bubbling over, like a fizzy drink that's been shaken and it's ready to explode. I've put myself to bed with Casper and my iced coffee so I'm hoping I can start to wind down. I didn't sleep last night until 3.15am but yet I'm still wide awake so sleep feels impossible.

Connecting with the community is nice but I've only had it in me to focus on one thread at a time tonight and for the past couple of days. There's many posts I'm still yet to reply to cos I just can't, I do feel guilty that I can't reply to everyone but I also am trying to learn my boundaries in knowing when I need to step back and that it's ok for me to do that.

I hope you are able to get some quality rest tonight so you can wake up feeling refreshed tomorrow. The next few weeks sound very busy so I hope you can remember to take time for some self care in-between everything.

Woohoo! Well done for passing your essay and 78% is an incredible achievement, so proud of you, I knew you could do it ❤️.

Also apologies that this post is so long, I'm actually not sure where it all came from.

Hello @Chasingsunsets, sorry for the delayed reply.

Yes I've heard that too, I know that i still get hormonal even though I don't have a cycle as such.

I struggle to get through movies for a few reasons, I hate sitting still for too long, i lose focus very quickly and I often fall asleep watching movies. So it's usually that they are just on in the background for some noise or while I catch some sleep.

How was your day?

Hey @MissGremlin, hope you get some much needed rest tonight and have a better day tomorrow, I do hope the shook up coke bottle feeling subsides for you 💜

Morning @Chasingsunsets, thankyou ❤️. I had a better night's sleep and for the moment things are feeling ok. I hope you have a lovely day today 😊..

Morning @MissGremlin

Glad you had a good sleep and things are feeling okay so far. I'm just about to take Luna for a walk before I have to go to work, but thought I'd check in here first.

Morning @NightFury my sweet, I hope you enjoy your walk with Luna 😊.

How are you feeling this morning?

I'm doing okay @MissGremlin

Stressed already because we have staff sick, which means it's going to be a busy day.
