I've been feeling impulsive. Maybe as a way to let myself off the hook. Dunno. It would be easy to give in to the thoughts.
Trying to choose something better though.
(Ehhh dunno about tagging here but hi @CheerBear I figured I'd take the leap to make a thread)

Definitely sour ones @CheerBear 😉 They're the best.
I do have control over it. But it's a matter of what I want to do, and that's not always the positive thing. Good thing I'm too tired now to make myself sad or self harm, my cage companions. They can stay in the cage tonight, I'm going to a bed instead.

Thanks @CheerBear. Glad to hear you got a bit of sleep although sucks that it wasn't enough.
Yeah I agree that being tired can sometimes be a good thing when it comes to this stuff. Good thing I noticed how tired I was, accepted it, and decided to pay attention to it rather than the companions. Sometimes that's hard to do.
I might save the robot talk for another time. Time for me to get stuck into some work. 😕
Hope your morning is going well.

@TheVorticon I’m sorry you SH’d. It’s such a strong demanding pulling feeling.
You are not feeling sorry for yourself, a pathetic weak whiny shit, nor do you deserve punishment. You deserve respect and care. Basic human needs in my opinion.
Do you need medical assistance with the wound?
Take care where you can. Lots of these. 💚💙💜💛❤️

I know those feelings @TheVorticon , not deserving care etc. I think/ wonder if not tolerating disrespect for others could begin accepting it on a personal level. Sometimes I get things in my head before they reach anywhere else. It’s a stretch though, connecting the dots.
Good no medical help is needed.
Yes, an ok enough morning. I’ve been finishing off some dotting canvases I started yesterday. My eyes are seeing dots.....so time to give them a rest.
Take care today where you can. Heating up here. 💙💙💙☕️☕️☕️
