1. Is there anything bothering you or upsetting you today?
Yeah, insomnia and cycling though bad memories. I'm coping with it by listening to calming music.
2. What would be the most amazing adventure to go on?
Anything that involves travelling with my friends, which I'm happy to say I'll be doing this weekend. We're going on a road trip to visit another friend. We'll go to bookstores and catch up with each other's lives. I'm really looking forward to it.
3. What are some small things that make your day better?
Being able to make my family laugh. Listening to music. Curling up in all my blankets. Reading and writing.
@HunterRose
Insomnia and getting stuck on memories can be so annoying, but your way of dealing with it is great. You have some amazing things to look forward to and I hope those safe moments with friends move you closer to resolving these painful symptoms of trauma.
@HunterRose Hi there friend. I'm sorry to hear about your insomnia. I've been going through that for about two weeks now and it is definitely not fun! I hope you get the sleep you need soon. I really like that you are coping with it by listening to music! I've been exercising and coming on here to help me! How wonderful that you got to spend the weekend travelling with your friends! I hope you guys had fun at the book store! I love the things you do to make your day better. Thank you for sharing this with me and checking in. Have a lovely day!
1. Is there anything bothering you or upsetting you today?
I couldn't for the life of me tidy my room and my brother will be here in half an hour.
2. What would be the most amazing adventure to go on?
Ehm... I think it would be living a whole life waste free in the middle of nature, reconnecting with the earth and with other living beings
3. What are some small things that make your day better?
Singing takes away a lot of stress, at least in the moment I do it. Although I'm not a very good singer, but when I'm home alone who cares? Physical exercise can help me to feel active and productive, but I don't always manage to do some. When I have the energy, helping other people and knowing that they are better can really make my day.
@GhostlyLilian
Why weren't you able to tidy your room? What happened when your brother got there and saw it?
Your adventure idea and things you do to feel better sound so peaceful, joyful, and wholesome (:
@artfulbalance
Nothing actually happened. And I wasn't expecting anything to happen. I just wanted him to find all clean and comfortable, also because so he would think I'm fine after all, but apparently I'm not fine enough to tidy my room. It's always anxiety and too many stressors I guess. I've been doing a lot of stuff recently, but it has a cost in terms of energy. I didn't have enough cutlery (spoons, forks, call them as you want).
Why would I hide my real state to my brother? Because he's my younger brother. I've always protected him and I have the strong instinct to protect him from worries over me
@GhostlyLilian Hi there friend. I'm sorry to hear about how hard it was to tidy your room. I know what that is like to have absolutely no motivation to do anything! I just have to force myself to do the things I need to finish each day. Oh that is just so wonderful to me that you would spend your time in nature, reconnecting with the earth! I do that and I love it! It's so calming and can provide you with so much clarity. I really like the things that make your day better and I think it's great that you like to help others. Thank you for sharing this with me and checking in. Have a lovely night.

@Mellietronx Hi there my friend! I just love knowing that there is nothing bothering you! You always seem so happy and that makes me smile! I think visiting Germany would be really fun!

Awww I think your idea of adventure and things to do to improve your day might resonate with mine at some extent 💚
