[Innocent Forever]

Hey guys,
I'm just getting over yet another meltdown/stress attack. I'm doing better now though. If I could be so lazy, here, would someone please tell me what the "topic" is here, today?

Some questions on the first page or just talking...


I can never answer most questions

• What is the silliest thing you have heard people say about you? ...
• Do you have any ridiculous goals in life? ...
• What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done? ...
• What cartoon do you still like to watch? ...
• What was your favorite fairy tale growing up?

thank you for the tag;

1. "There's no way you'd be Simon Cowell's wife in this lifetime"
2. To be Simon Cowell's wife
3. Probably go to some pretty sketchy places for the purpose of photographs. Actually, they weren't spontaneous because I thought them out. I'm not spontaneous aaaah. I think once I might have said 'stuff it' and crossed the road without waiting for the green man to tell me to. That's about as spontaneous as I get and I still have sleepless nights over it hehe.
4. Power Puff Girls
5. Blodeuwedd for sure. A Welsh myth from the Mabinogi where a woman is made from flowers with the purpose of being some man's main bitch by a wizard and his mate, but she has an affair with someone else and plots to kill her husband with him. The husband's got pretty extreme ways that he can only be killed thanks to his wizard pal so she seduces him to tell her the ways and stuffs. It gets pretty wild, stuff happens. Wizard resurrects the husband, kills the affair boy and then makes Blodeuwedd live the rest of her life as a white owl that other birds attack when she sees. Has some interesting layers about victims and stuff and morals. Solid enjoy.

Jediken,
I am so happy to hear that you're doing better. Meltdown happen. But have you ever tried this thing called Square breathing where you inhale and count one two three four and then you hold that bteath for 1234 and then you blow up the breath one-two-three-four and then you blow up the breath to 1234. And you keep doing that until you feel like you're calm. It usually only takes about 10 minutes and you're perfectly calm and happy

 

[FlamingoWrangler]

• What is the silliest thing you have heard people say about you? ...

i breathe too loud. 🤦🤷‍♀️

• Do you have any ridiculous goals in life? ...

too FEEL valued & loved
to live primarily off grid. Harness the sun, wind, soil, etc.
to provide medical care/outreach in an underserved area

• What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done? ...

IDK. fast driving? Kissing someone I shouldn’t have?

• What cartoon do you still like to watch? ...

old school Looney Tunes. Popeye & Woody Woodpecker.

• What was your favorite fairy tale growing up?

i wore out the pages of my Jack & the Beanstalk Book.
as adult, i loved reading The Lorax out loud to my kids.

yes, I've done square breathing but I remember holding for a count of four on both an inhale and an exhale, thanks for sharing <3

And that didn't help you at all? Man that helped when I was having anxiety. But if you don't have anything like a prescription for Ativan or something like that to help you calm down, then what I used to have to do would be to go and actually set in a quiet room whether it was my living room and turn off all the lights and just surround my face in darkness pushing my face into the pillows and the couch and just try to sleep through the panic attack. And I know that it sounds easier said than done but sometimes just giving it a try could help you know ♡♡♡♡♡♡

I never could enjoy square breathing, seemed like too much concentration and effort to be relaxing. I enjoy meditation a great deal but haven't been practicing lately. I use focusing on the breath for anxiety, and panic attacks - fortunately don't get full on panic attacks these days. I'm also about to go to bed. I just don't want to lay there awake for many hours before I fall asleep. Too much laying in bed isn't good for so many reasons. Thanks for your helpful and kind replies bell.w! You're a gem <3

 

[BelleWxox]

Aww you are so very welcome my dear!!! I appreciate the fact you called me a gem

Good day everyone!

• What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done? Not sure. My tattoo and tongue piercing were pretty spontaneous
• What cartoon do you still like to watch? Disney movies

[BlueGreen]

• What is the silliest thing you have heard people say about you? ... Son in primary school had a friend and had to be friendly with his mother but she had a huge chip on her shoulder. We had a mutual friend. She fell out with me for disagreeing with her and turned mutual friend against me then fell out with her and mutual friend told me, amongst other things, that she was telling the other mums that we (me and the family) lived on chips (potato fries)! Totally bizarre.
• Do you have any ridiculous goals in life? ...To go to Seoul and get a facelift! One can dream!
• What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done? ...Not sure...left a couple of jobs not long after I left school when it was easier to get another.
• What cartoon do you still like to watch? ...Loads and loads!
• What was your favorite fairy tale growing up? Sleeping beauty, the Princess and the Pea. Have mixed feelings now about how misleading they are for girls growing up.

Thanks for the tag and for opening @BlackOpium - great questions!

• What is the silliest thing you have heard people say about you? ...

That I am a real life Ernest T. Bass complete with the goofy giggling and hopping about like I have a scorpion in my drawers. All that is needed is Barney saying "he's a nut!".

• Do you have any ridiculous goals in life? ...

To be a federal court judge which with me only having a junior college education, never going to happen. The most important and enduring legacy of a president is who he nominates to the bench since they are there for life.

• What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done? ...

Licked my balls on a dare, I was young, needed the money and my gut wasn't as big. I leave to others to get that mental picture OUT of their heads and wonder if that was a serious answer.

• What cartoon do you still like to watch? ...

Most all of them but Rocky and Bullwinkle are a favorite and so is Phineas and Ferb but I identify with Doof(Dr Doofenshmirtz).

• What was your favorite fairy tale growing up?

Can't really remember a specific one anymore.
