Hi @Phoenix_Rising, yes I am meandering around. I've not yet meandered through this thread but will do so now after reading that today has been horrendous for you. Watching over the ocean tonight and sitting with you if it's still rough out there for you. Looking forward to a brand new day in less than 3 hours where I hope there may be calmer seas for you...good night 🙂

@Phoenix_Rising As I'm running on empty I just want to share some little things that have helped me on my journey, music being a biggie. This song might not be the right time. If it's not please let me know and I'll have it removed.

@Maggie Thank you for sharing such a powerful song. I can imagine that you might have been feeling a little anxious about whether it was ok to post this or not, so super big thank you for being so brave.
I also find music super helpful. If I was to have an anthem for my life, a song that summarises my experience of the world to-date, this would be it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0Pc50W2FnU

@Phoenix_Rising Thank you so much for responding. Yes I have been very anxious as it is a confronting yet comforting song. A contradiction there I know, but in my chaotic mind, it makes sense.
I also like the song you shared. Thank you for that. I hope the ocean is a little calmer today, if not, many are joining you in the waves.
@Faith-and-Hope Thank you also. Hope you are plowing through the struggles life is throwing your way. A green leaf in drought is a beautiful sight.

My brain is all mushed again.
I had a completely bewildering conversation this morning that pushed me so far out of my window of tolerance I'm back to not even knowing where the window is. I so very very badly wish that all MH professionals had the same solid understanding of mushed brains that TTT has. This conversation super reminded me of why I am a recluse - the vast majority of human interaction just ends up breaking my brain more.
@CheerBear I am both super glad and super sad that you get how brain mushing it is trying to work with services that claim to be trauma informed while they at the same time mush your brain. I'm glad because it so superly duperly helps that you so totally get it, but I'm sad because I wish you hadn't experienced what you have experienced in order to be able to get it. This morning's conversation was very much like my conversations with (A), where she would keep saying the same things while I was screaming and SHing. I am so very VERY grateful for TTT's completely opposite way of doing things.
Sigh...once again I don't think I'm going to make it to FF tonight. I feel so sad. FF used to be one of the biggest highlights of my week.
