Hold on tight, this ride is a wild one

Hold on tight, this ride is a wild one

Good morning,

Hold on tight, this ride is a wild one - my life, explained in one sentence. I’d like to create a thread where we can share our wild ride stories.

One wild ride I have daily or hourly is the mood ride. It still takes me by surprise how quickly my mood changes and the impact of triggers, flashbacks and emotions. It’s not like in a roller coaster, where I’m at the top spreading my arm, screaming, waiting for the plunge. No, there is no excitement before the drop, it’s more like being in a scary ride and the next monster appears without any notice.

And when the monster appears the ride stops and I get so exhausted and need a long long time to press the button to continue the trip...

I’ve had little wins this week, but getting out of my comfort zone has left me exhausted, confused and a bit scared, whether all my life will be an effort. It seems I get overwhelmed well before the event, let’s say meeting someone for coffee and then after the coffee I’m drained. So an hour meeting for coffee turns out to be a full day or more of hard work in my head...

How do you deal with that? What is your wild ride?

Good evening @TAB @frog @Snowie @Bunniekins @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @outlander @Appleblossom @frog @Littletink_ @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Eden1919 @utopia @Former-Member @MDT @Former-Member @Silenus @eudemonism @Ant7 @Lemonjuice @Owlunar

I hope you’re all doing ok. I’m ok, but I will need to take a break from the forums as I need some time to write down things for therapy. I will also try to do more self care again so I’m strong enough for therapy.

See you again soon on the forums! Take care x
