Re: Finding my feet once again

@Former-Member i had think for a second what "blanket show" was 🤣 then i realised - the bed/sleep! Lol. I have never heard that phrase before - but i like it!

I hope the blankets were comfortable and the matress supportive, and the sleep deep and restorative.

Hello 👋

@AlwaysMyself

It's nice to E-meet you

Yeah , the blanket show was my parents way of telling me .

It's time for bed 😆

My blankets and bed was ok as a child-Kid

.

I was more worried about the monsters under my bed and in the cupboard .

And I guess the darkness , after lights out .

I guess I was just a boy that believed in monsters .

Even if my mum would tell me there not real .

I still believe to this day , the nightmarish childhood dream are still with me .

On a lighter note

I hope your week of Christmas is full of cheer and happiness 😊

Nightmares and fear are like that eh - doesn't matter what we may be told, we can still feel like it feels true because of the anxiety. @Former-Member

I had nightmares as a child and into my teen years. Slowly they became less common and noe they are rare, thankfully.

I wasn't scared of "monsters" per se, i was scared someone was waiting to hurt/kidnap me. 🥺. Sometimes when I am home alone and I hear the trees moving outside (from the wind :face_with_rolling_eyes:) I still get that feeling of being in edge and worried someone might be there to hurt me - esp if my dogs start barking at it too!!

Its the only time i feel anxiety, and thankfully it is rare, and i logically know its not reality and keep telling myself that.

Its funny, but until i read your post i had forgotten that i do get anxiety a bit in that situation!! 😅

I generally consider myself as someone without anxiety.

@AlwaysMyself

I'm sorry to hear 😞

And I'm sorry I reminded you of your anxiety .

There nothing worse , I have a lot of triggers to my mental health .

Witch causes me to change directions in an instant .

Under different circumstances .

From things I see , to words being spoken and heard to messages or texts .

Some times my best friend doesn't know what to do .

The presence of my friend helps me thru my every day life

And sometimes when I'm good mentally , we actually enjoy each other's company .

Christmas is nearly here

And I'm talking about my issues

Let's sing a Carol 😄😁😆

Oh, no need to apologise or be sorry for it @Former-Member - I like self-reflection and realising these little things about myself. 😊 It's not a distressing trigger at all for me.

It's OK to talk about how you feel all year round - after all, you are a human all-year round and humans have emotions. 😊😋

...unless somehow you're the first-of-your-kind hybrid where somehow magically a robot takes control of you for half the year relieving you of humanity and emotions? 😉😂 (Now I'm just being weird and silly - I have a quirky sense of humour).

Do you have a favourite carol? Whether for the words/meaning or for the tune.

@AlwaysMyself

Hello 👋

Maybe I am an AI for half the year 😏

When I think about , Old Soul comes to mind .

It's ok , to me humour is fun 😊

Actually it reminds me

Off a movie called , I Robot

If I was an AI , just call Sunny 😄

@AlwaysMyself

Sorry

Carol

That's a hard one 🤔

I'm not to sure 😄

🤣 that is a perfect response @Former-Member i love that -- being half-AI called Carol 🤣. You "get" my tangential thinking.

Oops

@AlwaysMyself

I just mixed messages

My dam eyes 😄😁😂🤣

Oh Carol
