Hello Deebi👩❤️💋👩..Hanna and everyone..🤗..
Thank you for your caring posts...
My social worker/psychologist...at VS....asked a question about me not standing up for me or others...My tears turned into an open flood gate...She then explained why I’m like this...She said that suffering the rape from my eldest brother, and his constant abuse daily towards me...and then my parents abuse....I done the only thing I knew..to run..unfortunately into the arms of a more narcissistic monster....She said then, that my fear got worse...and I still continue to run to avoid sort of conflict...
Then she said...imagine I’m a little fish swimming around the ocean with other little fishes and the danger thats hanging around is one shark...She said that I look at all the little fishies as sharks...so I am constantly in fear and running away...In the human world, I see everyone as sharks, so I keep running and feeling trapped....Then she said that because it’s been most of my life, my warning system is stuck in freeze and flight...which makes it hard to make decisions, speak up for me or say no....She said that’s my PTSD diagnosis....she wants to work on repairing that...and said that it’s going to be hard for me to get it all out...Now I know more about my PTSD, hopefully I can work on it myself somehow..
No walk today..S rang me and said she has to work at the bigger town today...I was pleased she rang..but felt let down at the same time..
Paws...here on BB I don’t feel so alone...I am missing my children..missing my grandkids...and the beautiful caring hugs we give each other...Living alone with not very much human contact is so very hard when we’re well...but as soon as our mental health misbehaves ..it gets so much harder and scarier....
Deebi, being your soul spirit sister is awesomely beautiful..Love you heaps..🌈🐻🤗💜👭..💭🤝👀..sdsw..
Hanna, Paws, Deebi and all,,sending you my love, care and hugs..💜🦋🤗..
👩❤️💋👩Grandy....🕊🌱..

Dear Grandy
I think yourpsych's explanations is an excellent metaphore, one I will reflect on

Dearest Grandy,
I like how your dv lady explains things in a way that makes sense & is easy to understand. Small steps lass.
I wish I could give you a big gentle bear hug in real life.
My cyber hugs come with love

Beautiful Grandy 👩❤️👩 hi everyone ☺
It sounds exhausting honeyheart, you're so brave doing this. I like a lot that you have 3 wks break between meetings.
Fantastic she seems to get what's going on and explaining helps you I'd hope. Hard as no doubt you dear love.
Dah she didn't turn up. Shaking head. I hope she does start regular walking huns your beautiful heart needs it.
Sweetyheart I have noted that you'll be getting your results soon. 🤝 with you always lovely one.
I hope you're sleeping better beautiful although hard with that hip isn't it.
Oh Destiny and Eternity want to play with the girls so I thought we might all come and stay if ok honey. They said they want cuddles too so I'll have to obey the cute ones 😊
Love you very much beautiful Grandy. Can't imagine my life without you. Please look after yourself pubAok yadimh awyis bbff lysvm swod

Hello Mr.Croix, Paws..Waves Deebi👩❤️💋👩..and all...
I was diagnosed with PTSD a few back...I knew what it stood for and how people get it through trauma...but I never understood it...nor how quickly and deep it takes me down..
My psych did a good job explaining it to me...in words I’m capable of understanding...It gave me some more insight into my brain and how it reacts...
Thank you for the gentle bear hug Paws...to me they are always real..💜🕊....I am sending you hugs as well lovely Paws...
Kind thoughts..
Grandy..

Hello Deebi...
I think we posted together last night...
No she didn’t turn up Deebi...at least this time she msged me...She is studying to get her certificate in a masters of mental health...I reckon she will be busy for a while with her studies..Now my concern is that she might move on after she receives it....I will find out soon enough...
I get my results on Tuesday afternoon...I am thinking if it was something life threatening that she would have contacted me by now...They are my thoughts anyway....Tuesday’s not far away now...
Its beautiful here today, Kya, Ebony, Destiny and Eternity are playing together with their toys..They like the squeaky giraffe 🦒 the best...Thank you for coming over...
Mrs NSC has her youngest son and family over for a few days...I am so happy for her..they live in the western suburbs of Sydney...and visits from them are very seldom..She has 3 little grandchildren with her and it’s so nice listening to their happy giggles...
I hope your weekend is good everyone and you manage to get out into the fresh air...
Thinking of you Deebi...and hoping you are doing good both mentally and physically and hope those horrid headaches 🤕 are easing of for you..Please make sure you keep hydrated with plenty of water...love you dear sss..bbff and don’t want you feeling sick or exhausted..👩❤️💋👩🦄💜🐻🤗...💭👀🤝..
Sending my love, care and hugs to everyone..🦋💜🤗.
👩❤️💋👩Grandy..🕊🌱🦋🌹🌼.

Hey Deebi👩❤️💋👩, Hanna and everyone..🤗.
Thank you for popping your head around the corner..that was so sweet...and for you Hanna popping in to say hello...
Mrs NSC..wanted me to meet her youngest son and grandchildren and invited me over for lunch with them..I declined, because I wanted her to spend time with them alone....At 12pm..she rang me and said lunch is ready...and to come over...I already told her no...People don’t listen to me...Never have and I think never will....I ended up going over to keep the peace between us... I felt uncomfortable, the odd one out...I stayed a couple of hours to be respectful then came home....and had a sleep....
Yeah..I hope she doesn’t move on..Its taken a while for me to be comfortable with her...and be able to talk to her about my feelings when I’m down....
I’m doing okay ...Taking things day by day....
I hope you both and everyone reading/posting are doing better then okay....
Been a hot day here today...Already feels like summer’s here...Daylight saving starting soon...I wish I could go to the South Pole for a lovely holiday this summer.😂..
Very impressed with Mr Deebi juggling the kitties and your superb braking....I’ll have to go deep into my 💼 and find a side care for your bike..so kitties and Mr Deebi can be more comfortable.😁..Lots of love to you sss..bbff 💜🐻🤗.. swsd..always in my 💭 &💜...🕊🌱🤝👀.
my love, hugs and care everyone..💜🤗🦋..
