@avant-garde *waves gently* 

want to chat about the above hun? 

I'm just making my way through my notifications. Much to catch up on!! But wanted to let you know you weren't alone 💜

@Jynx 

You notice me, I just needed someone to notice me

*keeps crying and shaking in the dark corner*

[avant-garde]

I kept reaching out @Jynx for days I kept posting and nobody noticed me

[Jynx]

@avant-garde sounds like it is meaningful to you to feel noticed hun. I get that sometimes, like this itch in my bones that makes me crave someone noticing, checking in on me.

@Jynx 

Like

• I see you
• I validate you
• You matter to me
• Your voice and feelings matter
• I'm sorry it's hard
• I'm glad you're happy
• You're not alone in this

Can I get a hug now please?

@avant-garde 🫂🫂

Course hun 😊

Those are all super important things for us to get, I agree. And for those of us who didn't get enough (or perhaps any) of those things as kids, it can feel like a craving hey.

@Jynx 

Why weren't you around this week? were you unwell? I was praying regardless

[Jynx]

Aww tyty @avant-garde 

I had a hectic week 😵 had to take one of my partners in for emergency surgery! They are okay and will make a full recovery, but I had to take the time to rest and let myself process after the 30 or so hours of enduring various hospital sensory nightmares, and just providing them with some company and aftercare 😊

@Jynx 

Oh hospitals are extreme sensory overload! I completely get you on that. I find bone conduction headphones great in those situations, you can have calming music and still hear what's important. 

I'm glad your partner is going to be ok

We missed you on here too, just saying

[Jynx]

@avant-garde oooh they look really cool! I definitely needed my noise cancelling headphones a few times!! It's amazing just how cranky it makes me. Wish hospitals had sensory rooms for ND folks!! 

Aww I know, it's been so sweet logging on and seeing a bunch of messages 💜
