Re: Battles

Thanks @RiverSeal. Right now I'm not sure what to do. Trying to sort out picking a picture to colour but not sure if I have it in me. Really not feeling myself today, don't feel like I'm in my body. 

Re: Battles

Maybe colouring a picture is what you need @Dreamy? Maybe give it a try and see how it goes. I know you really enjoy it, and they are always sooo good! RiverSeal

@Dreamy take some very big, slow breaths for me if you can hun. 

 

Sometimes, we have to be the ones to hold ourselves. The community is holding onto you virtually still, always!! And we will all happily tell ya that whatever choices you've made were the ones you thought best at the time, that you are dealing with A LOT, and that there's always a path back, sometimes we just gotta wait till we can see it more clearly 💜

Re: Battles

@Jynx I'm trying to. Why is it so hard to just focus on breathing. 

 

I know that the things I did were done when I was in survival mode, so it really was doing whatever I had to do in order to survive. But I just hurts cos now when I look back I wish I could have done things differently. 

 

Thanks as always ❤️

 

I found a picture to do so we will see how i go with colouring that.

Re: Battles

@Jynx @RiverSeal So I'm normally ok with scrolling past a thread that's potentially triggering. But there's one that was put up a short time ago that's really hit me hard. I think more cos I can relate to it so much and my heart absolutely breaks for them. I feel physically sick reading it and knowing exactly what it's like to be in that position. The flashbacks it's brought on are so incredibly intense and traumatic. Like I've worked so hard to get past this certain event and for the most part things are ok but there's still moments where everything comes back to haunt me.

Re: Battles

@Dreamy it can be hard hun, sometimes that might be a sign to take a lil break, or to maybe focus on the social spaces for a bit? Obvs you are your own boss, hehe, do what feels like it will support you best in this moment 💜

Re: Battles

@Jynx I'm just avoiding the main page at the moment. Which means I can't do the Easter egg thing cos that's below that post but oh well.

@Dreamy gotcha covered, here's a direct link - and you can favourite the post for easy access/subscribe to it if you want to be notified whenever someone adds to it. Lemme know if you need instructibles for either of those actions hehe. 

 

Have you got any eggs to colour in? Maybe you could share those!
