@Appleblossom i was slow to the party when it came to ear buds, i only got them last year. But I'm really glad I do have them now cos the noise cancelling on them is a game changer for being able to get through shopping trips.
Nothing wrong with that.

@Jynx sparkly things are pretty. I think it's funny when people complain about glitter being in their house, like I love glitter being everywhere 😂.
It gets me cos going back just over a year ago the noise never worried me but now it's massive sensory overload and I can't handle it.

@Jynx i really feel this right now. I know there's nothing anyone can do to fix things but I just don't want to sit alone with everything.

I totally agree @Dreamy by n large people don't need help as much as they need love.

Thanks @Jynx ❤️.
I haven't even been doing my colouring cos I just don't have it in me, feel like I've lost joy in everything.

@Dreamy 😮
Noooo colouring not on the table? Hard.
Maybe today isn't about finding joy. Maybe it's just about finding comfort?

@Jynx but like it's been off the table for the last few days, since I finished the last one.
There's no comfort to be found either 😞.
This is how I know I'm headed to a very dark place. It's a big red flag for me as are a few other things.
