@Former-Member it's beautiful, and even with a marshmallow! Lucky me! You're so kind ❤️
And @Former-Member, so proud that you're learning to navigate those triggers. It's a learning process and will take time. Be gentle on yourself and take the time you need.
Are there specific things you do when you're feeling triggered to help calm yourself?

I just finished reading “I am Malala” which was an amazing read @Former-Member

Welcome @Christheart
@Former-Member I struggle to make friends too. I only have two real life friends and I only see one of those regularly. The other one is super busy but she checks in via messenger every once in a while. I am a member of a Church but I don’t often go. I struggle with motivation to do anything. I have a few people at the Church with which I could probably pursue more meaningful relationships with. Maybe I will try inviting myself over for a cuppa. 😁

Glad you enjoyed it @Eve7
My mind is all over the place with everything that’s going on here. I used to love reading. Not lately. I switch off with Netflix.

Two is better than none. @Oaktree
Yes, do invite yourself out for lunch/coffee with them.
I was involved in church most of my life. Didn’t work out well at all.

@Former-Member
My day was.... not without its struggles and mental torments... but I think I dealt with it really well today. And have lit the fire and had a shower.... so I'm pleased with that 🙏

That’s good @Christheart I have to have a shower every day to feel normal. And also have to put make on, even though I don’t go out much. Lately, not at all.
