My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, trauma does affect us in so many ways, multiple traumas do make things more complex too. I think it’s common among trauma survivors to struggle with relationships and trust, it just feels safer to be alone. I actually feel the isolation more when I’m not connecting to people around me.

Sometimes it does feel things get more rough later in the day. Fatigue does play a huge role.

I hope the chat system starts working on Sane again, I hate being on hold, phone calls plus hold music can contribute to anxiety, I feel like some days I am better off writing instead of talking.

Pasta and sauce sound nice. I hope tea is a good distraction. Do you eat as a family?

I’m making fish, I have an evening zoom class at 6 so will be eating it 5:45pm ish, I think it’s almost ready

Re: My special place

Being on hold on the phone is hard @creative_writer Sometimes it feels like ages that you are waiting. I know the system is overloaded. It just goes to show how much my help MH in general needs.

We do normally eat as a family when we can. Both my kids work part time so sitting down together is hard at times, depending on when they work.

Fish sounds nice, I love all different types of seafood.

I hope you evening zoom class goes well for you.

I used to make lots of desserts @Snowie but now I just do them now and then.

Also having stir fry veg with cauliflower instead of rice.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, it can be really hard with busy schedules at times. We don’t always get a family meal either.

Omega 3 is really important for the brain too. It helps with migraines and mood to some extent. I feel like crap when I eat crap, maybe food intolerances to processed food. Do you enjoy cooking?

@Eve7, stir fry sounds nice. Ohhh, I didn’t know you made desserts. What kind of desserts do you make?

I sure hope things don’t escalate, don’t need a repeat of what was earlier this year. I had one of my meds increased with helped with urges, but I couldn’t increase it any further because it makes me too drowsy

Re: My special place

I made lots of desserts during COVID @creative_writer but today was the first in ages. I got inspired whilst snacking on dried apricots so a reasonably healthy snack turned into “not so healthy” dessert with cream but it was quite yummy.

@Snowie I also did a Uni quiz so happy to have achieved some things today. Washing is still on the line but it won’t be dry yet. I’ll try and go to bed early tonight.
