Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

It is super hard for you to understand @Phoenix_Rising - it isn't black and white and you deal with things in a black and white way - that I understand This is by no means easy but there are a lot of people sitting here with you and hearing you little turtle.

I need to talk talk. I need to talk talk. I can't even not-talk talk because they keep removing my posts. I NEED HELP. There's no one to call, no one to email, and they keep removing my posts. I am utterly alone with the dirty little secret. I NEED HELP! Please help me!

This may seem like an absolutely stupid suggestion but I am going to suggest it anyway @Phoenix_Rising - are you able to talk and record it on your phone and then play it back to yourself - just another way to get your thoughts out...

Yep.

I feel DIRTY Zoe7. Only wrong things need to be kept secret. Perfectly reasonable actions don't need to be kept secret. I feel dirty and icky and afraid.

That is your history that is telling you this @Phoenix_Rising - that I do understand

So much of this 😞 right now @Phoenix_Rising. I am trying to reply to things that I can't find. It's hard from here so I can't imagine the hard from where you are.

I'll leave it with not lots of words but lots of seeing and hearing and feeling.

Re: Riding a wave

so we are 'doing' Distress Tolerance @Phoenix_Rising - the discussion was around being in crisis. The facilitator gave an example of having money stolen - to me that wasn't a crisis but I get for others it may be. When others were coming up with examples I felt like saying 'that is nothing - you should be around for a REAL crisis with little turtle' - I was thinking about how much you have had to deal with but you are still here trying to make some sort of sense out of all this
