Talking through trauma and PTSD

The me no one knows - SI warning

The me no one knows - SI warning

I’ve made this space to have somewhere safe to talk and share things.

to chat with every one who has shown concern about and for me.

I have spent almost all my life masking, from as far back as primary school (possibly younger).

almost no one knows the real me. Not sure if I even know the real me.

my past is filled with lots of darkness. People I’ve tried to speak with during my life either don’t believe me or don’t want to know

@AlwaysMyself @Bunniekins @Captain24 @Cuddlebear @rav3n @Jynx

hiding behind the mask pretending nothing is wrong. Putting on brave face whilst inside I’m a shattered pieces. Feeling lost and completely alone. No one wants anything to do with me. Relatives only contact when they want something. Going to bed every night hoping to never wake again

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

I go through similar things when it comes to possibly going places. Places I know I want to visit that I’ve never been to, tour options that are different than I done before to places I’ve gone to @AlwaysMyself

logic aspect of my brain comes into its own.

each step involving a cost from leaving to returning gets worked out. Time taken up with researching additional options plus cost. Look at the total and then frugal aspects of my brain comes into play. 2 sided mini war with myself starts with outcome of not being able to rationalising the costs. (That’s if I don’t start getting anxious about being xxx kms away from my safe place)

part of me would like to go back to NZ, this time on cruise ship. Typing the words and my mind is already coming up with the “but xxxx”, reasons that I shouldn’t even think about going

life experiences and memories can have positive aspects. Can also be cruel

Morning @Flutterbug9 sweet, it's currently 28⁰ here at the moment but meant to hit 41⁰ today. Well done on going for a walk, hope you can sit somewhere relaxing and cool off for a bit ☺️.

Your appointment with the hairdresser on Tuesday is exciting, are you getting the style of haircut that you shared the picture of?

Hoping you have a lovely day sweet ❤️.

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

Oh jeez @MissGremlin hope you can stay cool today! And keep hydrated, I haven't been good at that in the heat lately which has lead to lots of avoidable headaches

@Flutterbug9 croquet sounds so interesting! Are you playing or watching?

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

Morning @MissGremlin Where I am reached 43 on few individual days within the last couple weeks. Far from my type of temperatures. Everything gets closed, air con on etc.

im home, currently sitting on the couch. I’ve posted my thoughts and feelings onto a thread @AlwaysMyself @started yesterday. One item to read that I’ve been tagged in and then getting into chores. (After I take shoes and socks off. 😂)

I am going to print the photo of the pixi cut style I like and take it with me to the hairdresser on Tuesday. I hadn’t fully decided on style I wanted when I made the booking, did tell her I want very different style haircut

hoping you and your 4 legged house mates are able to stay cool and hydrated today

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

@Ru-bee i do have to go out later today but other than that I'm hiding inside today. I just had an iced coffee but not sure if that counts as hydration 😂. I try to have little sips of water when i walk past my fridge, but I'm great at forgetting to drink enough when it's warm so relate to the headaches.

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

I’ll be playing @Ru-bee

I’m one of the team captains

game is social with element of competition for some of us

In response to: Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

I think iced coffee definitely counts @MissGremlin haha

@Flutterbug9 that's awesome! Whenever I think of croquet I think of Alice in Wonderland, or Heathers, I've never actually seen it played in real life but it looks like fun! Is it hard to master? I get the sense there's probably much more technique to it than it seems from the outside

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

@Flutterbug9 i do not do hot weather so I'm very much hiding from the outside world 😂.

I'll have a read a little later, brain isn't up for trying to process information at the moment, it's having a slow day 😂. Hope all the chores go ok for you, after the shoes and socks come off of course 😂.

Well I'm hoping the appointment goes well and a new hairstyle helps you to feel more comfortable within yourself aswell ❤️.

Me and Casper are going to snuggle up on the lounge while watching a movie. The aircon is on here and has been for like 5 days now so it's relatively cool inside ☺️.

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

Definitely lot of technique involved @Ru-bee

most games result in laughter at some point
