@AuntGlow I've kind of thrown myself into doing things to keep my mind distracted. If I stop right now I'm not sure what will happen 🫤. 

Thankyou, it helps to know that I'm not alone ❤️. 

[AuntGlow]

@Dreamy I completely get this. If distraction is helping, it's okay to lean into it! (Just don't push yourself too hard, please.)

Activity can be mindful as well, so maybe you can put all of your attention onto what you are doing moment to moment and see if that helps? What do you think? ❤️

[Dreamy]

@AuntGlow have to keep moving, but i have no choice but to take a break cos body isn't coping. 

How am I supposed to keep my mind busy if I'm sitting still. Can't think properly right now 😕 

[AuntGlow]

@Dreamy Okay, let's slow things down then and focus on a helpful distraction... to start, I know connection helps you - are there any conversations you could immerse yourself in here? ☺️

[Dreamy]

@AuntGlow i can't stop shaking.

Most people are doing things today and i can't focus on too many conversations right now. 

[AuntGlow]

@Dreamy Okay, it sounds like things are very heightened, so I am wondering what might be simple but soothing? For example, can you have a warm tea or shower, or even wrap yourself in a blanket and have a cuddle with Casper?

That's okay, you don't need to do anything that feels too much right now. 💛

@AuntGlow i wanted to have an iced coffee but I don't even have it in me to make it. Casper is eating his dinner at the moment. 

I don't know how things got so out of control. 

[AuntGlow]

@Dreamy I get this feeling, and it can happen so quickly too... I am wondering, what is one thing that is within your control right now? Does anything come to mind? It can be really small, like your breath or the next action you take. 💛

@AuntGlow I'm having abuse screamed at me. So right now there's nothing i can do other than try to survive this moment 😞

[AuntGlow]

@Dreamy I am so sorry that this is happening right now, you must feel so overwhelmed and exhausted. 😔

Is there somewhere safe you can go right now? As always, I know I am not there with you, but I am here with you. 💛
