Re: My Mosaic

@Bow our brains like patterns hun - so it may see the pattern and predict the 'most likely' outcome... but it's not written in stone, these patterns aren't inevitable. 

 

What do you think you may be able to do a little differently tonight?

Re: My Mosaic

Make D sleep with me? But I’m still recovering from the 2 nights away and sharing a bed. She is a real wriggle worm @Jynx and I don’t have a king bed anymore. 

I just need to stay in bed. Not get out of bed. Tie myself down? Need something I can have beside my bed that I can grab instead yeah?

Re: My Mosaic

Haha your D and I have that in common @Bow! Mum used to call me a 'wriggle-puss' which...turns out is NOT a common phrase! Haha. 

But maybe a wriggly little worm is more of a comfort than the silence? Tricky if it may impact your sleep! 

 

Tie yourself down ahaha reminds me of this meme I saw once - "Practice safe sex - tie your partner to the bed so they don't fall off!" 😋

Maybe your spike mat nearby? And you could write yourself a little note, like "No feeling lasts forever" or "Three deep breaths" or something like that? Or heck, sometimes I find it really cathartic to just shred paper or pummel my pillow!!

Re: My Mosaic

If only she would stay still @Jynx  its tempting but I need sleep. I’m tired. 

but I do like that… ‘no feelings last forever’. I might write that down and put it near my lamp

Re: My Mosaic

Totally @Bow - may end up causing frustration and I know for me, frustation easily leads to more potent emotions 😬

 

It's one I use for myself upon many an occasion 😊 

 

I hope that however the evening unfolds, you know that there's folks here for you. Bedtime soon? All warm n snug and safe? 
Sending many hugs 💜

Re: My Mosaic

My SW is back today after 2 weeks off @rav3n  she sent me a text to let me know that my old SW has resigned and her last day is tomorrow. I know, not my current SW, but knowing my old SW was still there (as team leader) was.., I don’t know. If I needed someone she was there. She knows me real good. She really cared. She was a real good SW.
