Re: Running

what sort of grounding exercises do you do? like the 5 senses ones? @avant-garde how are you holding up with the flashbacks now?

Re: Running

@rav3n 

5 senses yes, grounding statement

In and out of them, psychosomatic sensations

Oh goodness @avant-garde I hope you're okay after that. How are you feeling this today?

Re: Running

@Ru-bee 

Emotionally I feel depleted

Physically exhausted

My back is hating me but I can't handle being touched at the moment

We'll see how the dentist goes, I have my music so should be ok but have a mini jigsaw puzzle for after. 

 

My trauma sister messaged me this morning and appreciated the spreadsheet for my jigsaw puzzles, she gets back in a few days, I miss her
