Brain Dump Challenge
This will be super healing and cathartic for all of you <3
Challenge: Brain dump everything you’re struggling with. Either here, or in a separate post (and let us know when you post it). Let it all out. Write it in prose, or poetry, or just random words strung together. It doesn’t have to be pretty, it doesn’t have to have correct punctuation or grammar or capitalization. It just needs to be your soul on paper… Your emotions and thoughts, your pain and struggles and yearning and loss, all written out. It loses its power once it’s shared. We’re family here; you’re safe here. Share it all, and feel safe in the knowledge that we will cradle your pain in our hearts and cry with you, and we will gather around you and show you love that surpasses any language or tongue. <3
I will add a taglist, but this challenge is open to absolutely everyone, new or old. <3 Feel free to tag people if you’d like <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 being worried about my wisdom tooth surgery on Monday. I'm scared i will get sick or that it will go bad and obviously scared of the antibiotics. I'm scared. And I have so much stuff to do to prepare. I hope I will be okay. Both healthy to go to the procedure and the recovery going well soon
You got this, girl! I have a friend who just got hers out. All went well <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 thank you. I'm just so stressed because I've already had 3. And this is the last one and I did not take the previous one too well
@sadcat13
Thinking of you 💚
@Amanda84 thank you. I'm scheduled for Monday and I'm mortified
You’re stronger than you think. Your brain is just being a meanie. :P
@sadcat13
Dental surgery is a big challenge for me as well, so I can strongly relate to your post. Especially if you've had negative experiences in the past.
You can do this, though!
I will be holding you in my thoughts and am sending you positive vibes for a much better experience this time. May your surgery go smoothly and your recovery be as painless and swift as possible.
@ShadowFaerie awww. Thank you 😊 I have an amazing dentist luckily so I can know he will do a great work. But the surgery still stresses me out and all the pain and meds and food limitations after it are horrible 😢 I really appreciate your kind words, they definitely make me feel better about it ❤️
I have a lot scheduled for the next few months. Just crossing 🤞 my fingers and hoping I can handle it! And I'm not feeling well my cough is back 🤢 so there's another appointment tomorrow. I was sick with this cough most of 2025 (and for many years), felt better for a few months, but it is still trying to get me down 👎 I'm going to try and rest now.
@reservedOwl321
Feel better soon 💚🤗
If it cheers you up a little, lately I’ve been deliberately posting cultural foods that are vegetarian, specifically with you in mind <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
How nice 💚
Aww .. thank you 🥰 those do cheer me up 💜 ❤️ 💜 ❤️ ❤️ 💜 ❤️ 💜 ❤️ 💜 Love the food posts. I saw the dr yesterday and got some antibiotics and medicines, and I am feeling a little better already.
Awww yay! <3
You are loved! Things will get better.
Thank you @GreenLime3141

@jesusredeemedme2425
Currently not getting enough sleep 😴 🩵
How come?
@jesusredeemedme2425
Too warm, too restless 🩵
I feel it. It’s warm here, too.
Why restless?
@jesusredeemedme2425
So busy during day, find it extremely hard to switch off at night!
Ah yeah I get it. Me too sometimes
@jesusredeemedme2425
@Amanda84
@Amanda84 That is tough. I hope you get some good rest soon! 💜
@jesusredeemedme2425
I feel super irritated right now
@trueconfidant123
@Amanda84
How come?
@jesusredeemedme2425 I'm a little worried about the progress of a personal project, my friends and family. I also ate a mango and my lips were burning for a couple of hours, I am not sure why that happened. Poked my eye on accident and it's been hurting at odd times.
You’re allergic to mango. Stop eating them. There, I fixed it! Hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
I'm actually not, been eating them all my life. One of my favourite fruits. 🙁
Maybe your body changed? Allergies can develop later in life too.
@jesusredeemedme2425
Possible. Or maybe this specific mango was bad lol.
Didn’t even think of that lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 My mom said if the mango was actually bad, the allergy should've been more severe lol.😂
Maybe your body just said nuh uh to this particular snack XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Your challenge: Try a brand-new fruit this week! One you’ve never eaten before <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I can try that and break my loyalty to banana, thanks 😂
Hehe banana is too normal lol! Try a starfruit or dragonfruit or something <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I will try, thanks for the challenge lol!
@trueconfidant123
@Amanda84
THAT MOSQUITO THAT JUST ATE ME ALIVE IS EVILLLLLL AHHHHHHHHH IM SO ITCHYYYYYYY!!!!!
@jesusredeemedme2425
Oh no, that sucks.
Yeah like, dude. Ever heard of a personal bubble??? I’m just sitting here reading quietly, minding my own business, and WHAM! Getting attacked outta nowhere for no vengeful reason XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Somethings wrong. Dont know what yet but the adults in my family are being weird this morning. I suppose I'll know by the end of today, but–
I wish theyd tell us stuff. Now its my job to carefully try not to guess and scare myself
Why do people DO that??? Or they say “I need to talk to you “- proceeds to wait several hours to tell you- only to find out that they wanted to discuss changing dish soap brands or something. Like THANK YOU for activating my anxiety for HOURS DUDE lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 right???
Today I learned that my husband vehemently hates glitter. I know glitter can be annoying, but I had no idea he was passionately against the use of glitter in our house. He said that it gets everywhere and it's microplastics, and I never clean thoroughly enough when things get spilled. Unfortunately, I think he's right. I don't move everything out of the way to clean up messes. I take the saying "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly" to the extreme. I used to be much worse: I used to sit and do nothing at all when there were plenty of things I needed to do.
I let my son pour glitter in a couple crafts that we made, and one of them looks like an amazing tabletop decoration! The other is a sensory bottle that looks cool, but I don't know if it will be spill proof.
So... my son and I are pleased with our work, and my husband is mad, and probably feeling betrayed. He said I agreed to never bring glitter into the house, but I don't recall that. I have a history of forgetting things that I've agreed on, due to weak working memory. We bought the glitter when we were shopping together, about a year ago.
Oh the joy of inattentive-type ADHD and an AuDhd/OCD/maybe anxious husband.
I just found my son's beautiful jar of fun in the trash 😭😭😭
@easyScarf7950
That sounds so frustrating :/ i mean granted you might not be the best about cleanliness and remembering this stuff but it seems like such a small thing– a little glitter for your son to have fun. I would be so confused by his reaction if I were in your place. And since youve gotten better at cleaning– i think you shld be proud of how far youve come, honestly. Youre trying and thats so important
I hope you two figure things out and a way for your son to have fun with glitter outside the house maybe? And hey, kudos to you for spending time with your kid and trying to understand where your husband is coming from. Youre doing things right, i think, and hopefully little misunderstandings etc will blow over quickly
Hugs if okay 🫂
I tried replying yesterday, but I didn't work.
Thank you. Yeah, we're doing better now. We had a talk after my husband calmed down. He said that the last time we talked about using glitter we agreed to use it outside. It seemed like a small issue, but the glitter got tracked through the house and got on his good work pants, and he needs to look extra professional this week, and the glitter can clog the washing machine and septic system. Since he's a maintenance worker at the park where we live, he would be the one to go out and unclog it. I just hate that I caused him so much stress. I am still cleaning up glitter. I vacuumed most of the house. Now I need to wipe down the table and chairs again and mop the floor.
@easyScarf7950
It is good of you to listen to him and try to remedy it. It sounds like he simply got a little overwhelmed, which makes sense. I think youre both doing a spectacular job communicating with each other, honestly. Feel proud about it 🙃
Is there an option for you to keep a sort of diary or log for reminders? I cant imagine how frustrating it must be to forget things, and for your husband to feel ignored as an accidental result of it. Im sure you must have tried ways to remedy this....i would suggest not to feel so guilty for it tho. We are humans with our little flaws and we are trying and thats all that one can do, right?
A diary with reminders.... That might work. I had this idea a long time ago to keep a pen and paper readily available every time we came up with a new rule, or something else to he mindful of in the future, but it wasn't realistic enough. I can write notes in my phone, though. I will give it a try.
