@Bow yes correct!! I will tell you why - the note reminding me to take three breaths is a constant reminder I want all the time, for a very low effort task that always makes me feel better afterwards. A note reminding me to call the psych is a single task that will leave me feeling yucky and agitated afterwards no matter how easy it ends up being.
Hmm that is actually helpful for me to have outlined, now I feel like that can guide me with other reminders - like a note to remind me to stretch might be good! But I won't be surprised if I completely ignore a note telling me to do the dishes ahaha
Ohhh turns out the ducks glow!! Take your pick hehehe
OMG I LOVE IT!! It matches your profile pic and everything!! Aww that's so wholesome, it's like every cuppa is a gift!! 😍
I shall bid you goodnight hun, the hugs are off into the aether and on their way to you already 😊💜

Sorry struggle street today @Jynx
I could say fine? Frantic Insecure Neurotic and Emotional?
not done much today. Got up and did some washing and then went back to bed. Not feeling overly safe today.
my SW encouraged me to go visit safe haven again but I just can’t do it.

@Bow yo, sometimes bed is the safest place to be hun. Warm, blankies, soft and dark, it's one of my fav spots to hide away from the world. Maybe that's all today needs to be for ya, a little hide away day 💜

If only other people understood that @Jynx
@others will just see that as me failing. Not giving it a go. Being lazy. Can hear them now.
and it gives me too much time in my head. I think too much.

@Bow yeah, I wish it weren't that way hey.
You don't just deserve rest, you need it. And that can and does include emotional rest, and sensory rest, and mental rest, not just physical.
Saw a meme the other week, I'll repeat it for ya here:
If it were laziness, you'd be enjoying yourself.
Mm gets all swirly hey? We could chat about other stuff, go for some distracties?

100% right @Jynx this kind of resting laying about is not at all enjoyable. I would 100% prefer to be up doing something.
maybe some distraction chat would be helpful yeah
