My basement flooded and Iโ€™m thankful that I donโ€™t trust narcissists and I was smart enough to know better than to listen to him โ€œmy basement never gets wetโ€.... any basement can get wet!!! So ignoring his opinion, I decided to elevate ALL OF my personal property on pallets! Iโ€™m upset it all had to be stored there in the first place, I was not told I would live here for months before the house was ready enough for me to move my stuff in to the living areas!!! Smh... thank you brain ๐Ÿง  and intuitive knowledge of B.S. artists!

in reply to Angelfox2002

I love this ! ๐Ÿ’• I donโ€™t love that your basement flooded but that you are so smart and you have things to be grateful for, in amongst all of that.

Well done you ! Xx๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ

Hi Starr, sounds like you're feeling better? That's great!!! You'll always have support here. I've had a couple of decent days, today is so far so good? I woke up with my body feeling like it was on Fire and upset stomach ache which is a Red Flag that my anxiety was starting? I tried not to let it progress, saying positive things to calm myself. It's helped, though I feel alittle anxious.

Well you take care and keep in touchโ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ™

Starrlight in reply to Want2BHappy3

Was feeling so great today but just had company over and soon again having another group of company which stresses me but will be okay. Good that you said positive calming things to yourself. I will try that. And I will picture good times ahead. Best to you hope you can smush down that bit of anxiety.

These past couple weeks have been extremely hard for me. As soon as I wake up I start to worry and my anxiety flares. Mostly about my health... Thereโ€™s always something wrong with me. Why canโ€™t I just be normal?!!! But even though Iโ€™m struggling... I am grateful for my loving husband who puts up with my issues and comforts me. I am also grateful for my son. If it wasnโ€™t for him my addiction wouldโ€™ve taken over my life.

in reply to Nlc72

Hi Nic.

So sorry to hear of your struggles and the difficulties you face.

Itโ€™s really nice to hear about your husband and son and out of the awful things we experience , there are some things to be grateful for.

Best wishes to you ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ

Please tell me more about your grounding techniques. Thanks.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight

Hi ! I have a list of grounding techniques in which some work some of the time. I also have reminders that I have a guide that I see beauty everywhere and I am free. I need to be sticking positive reminders and affirmations around the house.

So I have a whole list of what is beautiful to me which helps me feel safe, positive, brighter, lighter.

I have another long list of things I can do when I feel on edge like I can say a prayer or an affirmation, I can try deep breathing or happy place visualizations, see a movie...

Do you want me to write out either of those lists there? Let me know. ๐Ÿ˜Š
