Nip in the bud

[Existing]

I'm here early tonight. I slept all day, missing my telehealth therapy appt. While I am a night owl, and thrive on being up at night, I recognize that I'm also currently way too aware of how alone and isolated I feel lately.So, I'm posting to remind myself that there are so many like me in this group, and that I always feel supported here, that I actually feel better when I come here, that my desperation actually dissipates a bit when I come to this group.

I don't know about anyone else but the feeling of "desperation" is the one thing I can't afford to allow myself to feel. I have an instinctive radar, lol, that somehow knows when it's 'very nearby', and my alert steers me away. It's like the swirl in the sink water going down. I can't afford to get close to that. 😄.

Hi.🙂

I'm sorry you missed your appointment.

As a fellow night owl, I relate to having my days and nights mixed up. I've been trying for a very long time to remedy my ways.

Your sink drain analogy is a good one.

I do think many of us have an internal radar when we are nearing more dangerous emotions, like desperation. Lately I think I'm trying to steer away from hopelessness. On the cusp of winter, that is even more challenging.

I wish you well.🌷✨️
