@NightFury i think allowing yourself to rest and recover and process the last couple of weeks of work is a really good idea. But I can also understand how it would make you feel uncomfortable and waiting to try to avoid it. Just remember it's ok to allow yourself to feel whatever comes up for you at the moment, it's been a rough time and alot of big changes. Just know that these feelings will pass eventually as uncomfortable as they may feel at the time.

That sounds like a really good plan ☺️.

Ooohh starting our gremlins would be awesome to do and I'd very much like that ☺️.

I'm struggling to keep my eyes open, so sleepy. I'm going to see if I can sneak in a nap so I will chat to you a little later sweet.

Talk to you later @MissGremlin rest up.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how are you doing over there?

I've just finished giving Luna a hair cut. @MissGremlin I need to take her to the dog bath at the car wash and give her a bath. I also need to go to the supermarket.

I am sitting here with a cup of coffee contemplating the fact that I am...just now...feeling super tired and down.

How's it over there?

@NightFury well done for giving Luna a hair cut. Taking Luna to the car wash for a bath and needing to go to the shops sound like big tasks.

I'm glad you are having a cup of coffee but I can hear that you are feeling down and not getting much sleep last night would be playing a part in that too. I'm here if you want to chat about what's coming up for you or for whatever you feel you need in this moment ❤️.

I had a very short nap but woke up a bit panicky, I'm going to get up and make myself a hot coffee i reckon then put a movie on.

Popping over to your thread to see how you are doing @MissGremlin .

See you are having a low and tired day @NightFury . Hoping you are able to rest today? Can you have a "do nothing except what i WANT and CHOOSE to do" day today?

I'm glad you got to have a bit of a nap. A hot coffee and a movie sound like a good idea. @MissGremlin

I might do the same after I finish off my jobs for today.

And you're right...last night's lack of sleep doesn't help, so I'm going to go get these last few things done and then I can allow myself to crash if I need to. @AlwaysMyself

Hello @AlwaysMyself, I'm still trying to work up the courage to share how I'm feeling and what's coming up for me. Also have to be mindful of guidelines on doing so.

For the moment I'm a bit panicky after waking up from a nap so I'm going to make a hot cuppa and pop a movie on.

@NightFury that sounds like a really good idea. Good luck getting the last few things done, you've got this sweet ❤️

Fingers crossed for your afternoon off @NightFury .

I hear you, @MissGremlin . I can guess what you may be referring to. I hope you feel able to express what you need/want to.

Would it help if i could help with prompts of ways to say things that would be within the guidelines but still ways of saying things that if worded another way wouldn't be?

E.g. like when i said "i wish i wanted to be alive" - thats recovery-oriented language, but it still clearly tells what thoughts are going on and the fact that i didn't *feel* like i want to be. 😉

But only if that helps and you want it.

Always 100% OK to say "no, not now, not ever, not for me". 🥰 this is @MissGremlin -centric help i want to give. Not me-centric.
