@QuietMagic
My week has been great 🥰
No major hassles, makes a welcome change 💙🤗
Hope you are good quiet 😊
@Amanda84
Nice! It's been a little while since I've heard that 😊 I'm doing fine as well
@QuietMagic
How has your week been so far?
guess i say it been mixed as i am mostly isolating from online people and offline ones too why i not been on as much as normal truth is i just today saw what i was doing
but also it been kinda a good week due to someone offline gave me a hug i had not had one in very long time it hard when really not have offline much connected with other people
so that why mixed week so far
💛 What's something you've accomplished recently that you're happy with?
was really manic one day over the weekend so i moved my daybed and cleaned a lot lol but i payed for it nest to days as pain was worst then normal but was a big accomplishment was funny home aid came in yesterday and was like wow then told her there was many trash bags to go out she took them out
@stormieandpaws
That's so nice that you got a hug when you needed it 😢 Was the isolating because of the heat, air quality, and physical issues and just not feeling good (e.g. if someone asks how you're doing, the only thing you can honestly say is "terrible")?
That would bother me if every time I'm mentally locked in and have a burst of motivation and accomplish a lot, I have to worry about "is my body able to handle this". I guess it felt worthwhile and you accept that you're going to feel worse physically for a little while?
@QuietMagic
thanks truth is for very very long time i go without any human touch even without hugs i not know many offline also not ones that would hug me sadly this been the case most my life but as child hugs were not nice ones they was used for punishment like being held long time in like a very tight hug way
sometimes i just not know i am over doing it and pay for it later
@stormieandpaws
Wow, so hugs that are actually caring (not a form of punishment) is an extremely scarce/rare experience in general and this is sort of like "I can't remember the last time someone did that". That's very special to receive that rare thing, but also kind of sad that it is so rare
Makes sense that the aftermath of those bursts of activity is often unexpected (i.e. you feel fine while doing it and then afterwards it feels bad)
@QuietMagic
sad thing is that they teach people who work with mentally ill kids to use what was done to me as away of like restraining them when they are upset or acting out i know a few special ED teachers that stated that was in their training 2 of them will not use it as they believe it can make a child not even want a safe hug out of fear the other person will not let go of them even when they ask them too
sad when something that is to feel good is used in bad way to point another person is fearful of that thing it taken me years to get to point that i now like hugs even if not get them much
yes your right it like when doing things i not feel bad physically but the aftermath is that i down in high then normal pain for few days
@stormieandpaws
That's nice that there are some teachers out there with a strong enough sense of integrity and independent thinking that they'll notice that this thing they were taught to do feels wrong and like it doesn't work and they're willing to pivot away from it
@QuietMagic
yes i agree one teacher i had talk with at one point told him how that type of punishment had made it so for long time i hated hugs he was amazed at that but he saw how it could do that too
@QuietMagic
💜 How has your week been so far?… It was a bit of a mix, but overall well for the most part~
💛 What's something you've accomplished recently that you're happy with?… I got a few; Which were Getting back to my hometown this month after 15 yrs away, (that was a 12-hour roadtrip there just “one way” 😩)… Also Accomplishing a major personal June goal, & remaining calmer in the midst of a few minor matters recently, (as Typically my mind can go haywire)~
HAPPY WEEKEND~
@PoliteOcean
Makes sense, that's a 15-year to-do list item checked off... and it took a lot of effort to make it happen (12 hours driving each way is a lot!). Also really reassuring when something stressful happens and it feels like it goes smoother/calmer than normal 💜
@QuietMagic
Omg, yes! A 15 yr to do list!… If you only knew how many times I’ve made plans to go back in that time & then cancelled altogether~ lol
checked off now! ✅
