My life sucks

Yes, I have heard of the Pomodoro strategy! Good on you for exploring a technique that feels good for you!! How have things been today? 💛 @Blackcloud

I am doing okay @Cuddlebear, just feeling a bit unwell!

It can be so, so hard to know how to safely release trauma if we haven't had enough 'held' spaces to show us how... out of curiosity, when do you feel the most safe?

And yes, I can see how hard you try. 💛

@AuntGlow Not doing the best, but I’m trying hard to manage it all….

What's going on and how are you working on managing these bigger feelings? 💛 @Blackcloud

@AuntGlow idk. just getting through the day as is is the only way i can go about it...

I hear you @Blackcloud. I hope things are feeling better for you today? 💛

@AuntGlow nope. Just basically surviving at this point…

I'm sorry that things are feeling like survival right now... it can be such a vulnerable place to be in. Are you connecting with your supports and self-care strategies? @Blackcloud

@AuntGlow Yes I still keep in touch with peer workers in other services as well as a counsellor at kids helpline and/or eheadspace when necessary. 🙂

in terms of self-care, I’m only just resting right now and I have made myself a cup of tea for this cold weather. Not sure what else I can do other than just trying to watch videos that can help relax me and stuff. I also did some studying today which I’m proud that I was able to get most of that assignment done with.

also I hate how I continue to get IBS symptoms from time to time but I am doing stuff to manage that.

@AuntGlow @Cuddlebear By the way, I still have a long way to heal my gut on the inside. And I think that explains the reason behind why I still have some bit of eczema on my right hand, as well as hair breakage. It’s exhausting I guess mentally?? but I always need to do my best to try and manage it which is hard but the least I can do is try & stick to a plan.
