Help Each Other day 7
Hi 😊 splendid 7 cuppers, how's going?
Going out:
Yesterday I had to go out and the experience was overwhelming. Though I came to the conclusion that I need to come out of isolation.
Isolation has worked as a coping mechanism for awhile. But you can tell when something is not helping anymore.
It feels so weird, because assuming that I will start to be more out and about I won't expect much from people. I'm not saying I'm going to be dismissive, I will just allow myself to be surprised again. Even if things have changed, even if I was betrayed in the past, even if....
What's your relationship with the outside world?
How you navigate high intensity spaces? Noises, streets, voices etc ?
Yours

I'm proud of you for trying 💙
So many people want things to change, but change nothing.
What helps me when I'm out is listening to music.
Patience.
Just allowing myself the time to adjust to my surroundings 💙
Thanks 😊 Amanda... it's so weird honestly...even though I'm an adult (well a bit of a Peter Pan) I feel the past years were a sort of development regression.
Talking about regression I was reading it's a form of defence mechanism.
Now the defence is becoming a burden and I need to face the awkwardness of trying to get back out there...
One step at a time 💚🫂
