My head just feels overwhelmed with everything that was yesterday...
Exercise physiologist was fine, chiro wasn't.
Context: https://saneforums.org/t5/Social-space/Morning-Check-In/m-p/1724957/highlight/true#M471882
She's been back a few times now and I stonewall her, actually quite terrified of her. I fixate and play bubble shooter.
So after chiro yesterday I go to the shopping centre nearby, because these people and friends actually care about my everyday life.
Well I was parking and *Hagar was standing in front of my car starring at me.
I had reversed into the bay behind me in order to straighten up and I honestly didn't realise she was there, but she started yelling and approaching my door. I stayed put and glared at her waiting for her to leave while she waved her arms around yelling. She seemed to think that I wanted to threaten her, but I'm not that kind of person, I just wanted to do my routine.
This was after a friend of mine, *Goldilocks, she was talking to the staff member I get along with. She was describing a graphic incident and touched me as an example and I jumped back. I looked at the staff member, *Rapunzel, and she helped me to breathe, then when Goldilocks started again and I got worse, I removed myself to play bubble shooter.
When someone I'm familiar with and get along with comes in, Hagar had already said my name and asked how I am and I had stonewalled her and fixated, so I didn't notice her say hi to me, until she touched my shoulder and I had jumped.
*names have been changed
I also now have a reference list for these
Bible names for bad
Fairy tales for good

@avant-garde I am sorry I can't engage with you at the moment my darling girl. I just got a nasty email from my father telling me to f*ck off because I finally got the courage to stand up to him after 50 years of being too afraid to. I am trying to process this prayerfully and not let him try to destroy me like he almost did previously.
You are in my prayers xo 🫂

@ENKELI - I think this one is for you... I am uncertain what just happened, but yes
more than what he did to you
more than your despair
more than what you can do
you, my daughter, are
more than what he says to you
more than words upon a page
more than who he says you are to him
you, my daughter, are
greater than your circumstance
the pain he causes you
greater than the 50 years
you, my daughter, are
you are stronger than a diamond
more precious than rubies
more loved than you realise
you, my daughter, are
when you feel second rate
like we sometimes do
you rise up and encourage
that's just who you are
the people you have gathered
the kindness that you hold
it shows the trueness of your faith
even when the darkness takes hold
fear not for I am with you
do not be afraid
I will hold you together
when your heart tries to break
I will hold you always
as I hold you now
your life is my masterpiece
even when falling apart
to be the woman that you are
with everything you have suffered
shows of true tenacity
when you feel like giving up
you matter my dear daughter
more than words can say
I am with you always
forever and a day

You are so loved and adored, a true blessing from God.

Deep breaths right?
Just keep breathing
Like Dory
Just keep breathing
There are 1236 small tiles on the toilet wall
103 × 12
The attendant wished me a happy Halloween
There is NOTHING happy about Halloween!
It is sinister and it is dark and it's nothing to do with the reformation!
103 × 12 = 1236
1236
He can't hurt me anymore
I'm safe now
He can't hurt me
He can't hurt me
He can't hurt me

@avant-garde oh my stars hun, sounds like you're in the thick of it. Sounds like it's taking a lot of your strength to try to stay present at the moment, which is totally understandable, and I imagine, utterly exhausting.
You're not in this fight alone hun. If you have words, feel free to vent. If you wanna chat about lighter things, I'd love to hear any highlights from your week 😊
You're safe now, for sure hun - we got your back 💜

Two hours ago, yes, still very very shaken and on edge and hard too settle
Just needed to stop the bouncing trigger balls in my head.
Home now but the trigger is still very much at the forefront of my mind
