Something’s not right

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

I get triggered by strange things at times too @creative_writer Sometimes I don't even know how it happened, it just does.

My mum has a hard time accepting what has happened too. She is not one that I would ever talk to about it. She does not understand MI and does not try to either.

It's hard when we have rough nights. They can be hard to deal with. I've never tried an eye pillow before. I just have my normal pillow and a weighted teddy that I sleep with.

Re: My special place

@tyme maybe it’ll look better in the morning. I tend to experience more physical pain later in the day, I was okay this morning.

@Snowie my mum does understand MI, having studied it. Still it’s hard. I think the family bond sometimes makes it hard too. Just a thought.

I’ve heard eye pillows are relaxing and can help with pain. Never tried it though. You can heat them or cool them or use them at room temperature. I have tried tying a scarf around the head before, which does help a bit

Re: My special place

I've never tried eye-pillows @creative_writer . Sounds relaxing though. I've seen people use them, but I've never used them myself.

I hope you have a good rest tonight. It sounds like you need it and deserve it.

Hi @Snowie , sorry to hear your Mum made you go out to a busy shopping centre, and something from your school triggered you badly 😢

How are you this morning?

My day yesterday was a write-off, but I feel a bit better this morning.

I hope your psych session goes well tomorrow and you can talk about what you need to.

Re: My special place

Good morning @creative_writer Hoping you feel a little better today. I know things have been hard for you.

@NatureLover sometimes we need write off days. I'm glad you feel a little better this morning.

Vacuumed half the house and did some washing this morning. Now I'm exhausted!!

Time for a cuppa and watch the F1 race from early this morning. Wasn't getting up at 6 to watch it.

Re: My special place

Jittery for any reason @creative_writer?

I'm ok. Got some things done today so that was good. Just anxious about seeing psych tomorrow. Wrote some things down for her so just need to hand it over...

@Snowie probably uni.

I hope you find the appointment helpful. It does help to write out things at times. I stumble over words

Re: My special place

hey there @Snowie 🙂🌺

my apologies for the delay..

I hope you’re doing ok today 💜🌺

yeah, I think speaking to therapists with LEx does make a difference…I’ve noticed a lot more flexibility in therapeutic approach as well as empathy.
side note: I think a lot more should be done to include people with LEx who are interested in becoming therapists, to do so, because their innate skills are invaluable to the therapeutic relationship, I believe. However to do this I think there needs to be better methods of supporting therapists with LEx to manage vicarious trauma, too 🙂🌺

I hope your appointment goes well today, too 💜🫂🌺

ok I’ll definitely update how it goes after the next session of EMDR on Thursday 🙂

Take care, and go gently 💜🙂☺️
