  1. It feels like trying to solve a complex rubik's cube, this quest for 'feeling okay'. Maybe if I can just perfect my daily routine, add some sprinkles of self care in it here and there and carefully plan every detail, then I am sure I will feel okay and be able to function like a normal person. Hmmm, that didn't quite work perhaps if I switch around this or add that it'll feel right and I'll be okay. This seems to be the constant mental game I now struggle with.

    I used to be so go with the flow and laid back, and now I am not... it's hard, I don't like it and it makes me angry.

  3. That moment when you realise giving someone the benefit of the doubt has backfired and you were right to be wary in the first place.

  4. today would have been the best day to cross dress....

  5. Feeling at peace hitting the waves. Don't want the peace feeling to go away.

      Feelings of peace come and go, what's important to focus on is that you're capable of feeling peace, and the feeling happens :)

  8. Typical... just what I need... a massive chest infection on a bank holiday so no Drs open. Especially as one of my main triggers is struggling to breathe....

      Steamy water in a bowl, stick yer head under a cloth, and breathe muchly. Add menthol crystals if you have any. It won't last very long but it's the main thing I do when I have chest congestion, it helps a bit. And snort lines of garlic powder or something lol

      Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that :( I often get ill over Christmas and stuff, any time there are no doctors, it's always anxiety making. Much worse if it's triggery too :( *hugs*

  10. some1 in a listening mood mind messaging me. slight tw for trauma/brainwierd stuff but nothing graphic or urgent.

  11. you would hate me if you knew.....

  12. I'm so ill. Keeping anxiety in check but feeling like I'm dying. Fed up of being unwell. I don't foresee me being useful on the board for a while.

  14. Thank God for cats.

  15. Super minor thing, but it really bothers me how mum keeps telling me to grow my hair back. I shave my head partly because of male pattern baldness, and being bald is far more comfortable than having a bald spot, but a big part of it is because of buddhism, shaving the head represents releasing the ego. I wish she understood that it means something beyond mere aesthetics and comfort. I feel my beliefs are undermined when she insists I grow it back ><

  16. I've been in rough shape with chemo. Feels like I'm dying.  I apologize for not being able to reply back to certain people.  I do hope everyone is doing okay and I do hope all you mom's had a wonderful Mother's Day!  

  17. Annoyed. Timing sucks. I was referred to abuse-specific counselling a couple of months ago. This past couple of weeks I've had debilitating digestive issues that have made it impossible to plan stuff, my sleeping pattern is wrecked, I'm afraid to go anywhere... and they phoned me this morning to arrange when we can start ><

  18. Why do I hate myself?

      Also, when in doubt, read your Vasquez thread again. You've moved and inspired so many people, and not everyone comments when they read a thread. With the statistics as they are, it's mindblowingly encouraging to find somebody succeeded where so many people think they'll fail. Your example is the kind of thing that can change lives. So never doubt your worth, or if you do, reread that thread or this one xD *hugs*

      Coz you listen to that voice in your head that says you're a waste of space and a drain on others' resources, more than the one that reminds you of the amazing stuff you do and your strength and worth. Challenge: Look in the mirror and tell yourself you're worthy of love. Doesn't have to be done the first time you try. But when you can do it, you'll know things are getting on track.

  22. i live in my house!

  23. Recovering from pneumonia; not fun. Rather tired in multiple ways. Yet, peaceful for a change. 

  24. Feeling awkward? Self conscious? Check this out. I've been out three times today, shopping twice and to meet my brother. I came home, went to the bathroom, and as I catch my reflection in the mirror, realise when I shaved my head and face this morning... I missed a sideburn :P
