Truly hoping the best for the both of them. . . & for the two of you, of course!~
thank you. f i was on the outside looking in it would be an easy choice, but i can't imagine living wthout them. we adopted them from the rescue at 9 years old and they are almost 16. of course my mom had a chihauhau that lived until 21. she had her stomach touching the floor, completely blind and completely deaf , bad skin and would only eat raw hamburg lol. i won't go that far

I am drifting along, not doing enough to change things. I'm doing some good but it's not enoughj to make me feel real. I'll talk to a friend tonight, but when I feel like this, kind of disassociated, I might not be able to say much.
I'm glad you're able to talk to a friend. I remember not even being able to talk to anyone because I would break down, this for many years. You are very real to us seabird 💜
 
I am having some similar experiences to some things seabird has described. It's been happening intensely now for almost a week and It is making me dissociate some, very uncomfortable. Actually what is happening is scary. I haven't left the house since Friday, afraid to. It's a new mental place for me.....and it has drained me completely of physically energy as well.. I have absolutely no idea what to do.

I hope things improve for you seabird and that you feel better soon.

Here is the painting I've been working on for my brother. I'm finally finished. Isn't this just a beautiful demonstration of how God saves us all with His everlasting love? I just love what this artwork speaks to me! Those tiny spaces in the water, by the way, were so detailed and difficult! But the finished product is wonderful.

Suddenly I feel awash in intrusive thoughts. Over and over again, my brain says I have no hope, and that I should give up and go through with suicide.

It is quite distracting. I don’t believe the thoughts because they are obviously distorted. Yet it’s really hard to do work that is memory intensive with so much noise up there.

Better. I'm sorry you are having troubles @Livelife . After doing some writing I realised I'm doing a lot better than I'd given myself credit for, which is interesting. It'd be funny if it wasn't a scary thing that seems to creep up on me unawares.

For me for whatever reason, getting out for a run makes a number of positive changes. I still don't have the words for them or maybe my mind is being lazy. One of the changes is easy to describe it is that I have gotten a tiny bit um, less slow on my runs.

A bit scared/anxious for some reason. I have a job interview tomorrow but I have this urge to cancel it. I don't know.

Give it a try, IMHO. Worst that could happen is you don’t get the job. That is where you already are, so you have nothing to lose, and you could get the job, which is at least another option.

I know that job interviews are scary, but one way to make it easier is by giving no thought to whether you get the job or not. This does require some willingness to be rejected, but you are already rejected if you don’t try at all, so there’s still nothing to lose as long as we don’t put a ton of pressure on ourselves.

Another thing is that you are also interviewing the company. Look out for any red flags and ask questions about the company as well as the position.

Glutened. Woke up early thinking I'd slept funny or done a hernia/injury in my sleep as was painful to breathe deeply and felt all wrong inside. Have been fine for the last week, but I did a shop yesterday. Went back over my intake, and the difference was these 2 of these little Fibre cake bars I like, but didn't have for a few weeks. Looked at the ingredients, first on the list was wheat flour. I checked the other chocs I usually eat and although they contain wheat further down the list, they are more made of oats and have been eating them without issue the last week. So it seems I can handle a certain amount of gluten, but things that are primarily made of ultra processed wheat are really bad for me. I have about 20 boxes of weetbix I had stockpiled, will have to try them, as they're wholeweat I might get away with it. Muesli has been fine (more oats). Looks like no more of the little sweet cake bars for me 😒 Interesting figuring all this out, certainly wasn't obvious until I started examining in more detail, as it's not all gluten containing foods that send my digestive system into meltdown.

That sounds really difficult to endure. I'm sorry you're suffering and hope you begin to feel better soon. *console*sadhug

Thank you E…It’s looking like it’s related to a neuro diagnosis I’ve been given recently. I hope they can figure it out. I appreciate your good thoughts for me. I hope the job you've referred to connecting with works out for you🙌☺️☮💫
