Vent and then let it go...

[Guest_1055]

Not sure about anyone else but sometimes I just need to vent, including venting any frustrations, fears, hopes, worries, longings and anything else. Most of the time I don't want any advice or any responses. Just need a way to get it all out from within me.

So thought this thread could be for those sort of things. No one replys to you with words or anything. It's a place to let it all go. Just dump whatever it is you want to say and leave it here.

So yeah no replys please.

Morning Shelll. Great venting there matey, I hope it has helped relieve ur suffering.

I like what Douglas Adams came up with, something about chopping up stuff and then jumping up and down on the bits chopped!

I enjoy breaking plates, or crockery, Clare and I make a symbol out of it.

This plate represents our resentment of this argument we have just had, now we smash the plate as a symbol of breaking apart the resentment and argument, and destroying those things and thus letting them vanish into non-existance, and the past.

We have plenty of plates and crockery... so far... lol.

So much of life is absorbed from things u can't control

Being around rough ppl makes me scared a lot and mistrusting

I struggle each day with this, and it's unfair, my heart wants to feel cosy and close to others and all I feel is tense and disconnected

Wife wants me to deal with all my issues before she will even give thought to our marriage continuing, but now I am taking control and doing it she wants me to slow down. My marriage is on the line & I know she wont wait forever. Its as if she wants me to fail. I know that's not the case because that's not who she is, but the paranoid side of me wonders. So many mixed messages that doesn't help my anxiety.

Yesterday I wanted to rest my mind with some quiet time in the garden...the neighbour's dogs barked for hours, then the neighbours started yelling at their dogs!

Had to put my heavy duty ear muffs on...now all I need is a recording of birds to listen to through the ear muffs as I could not hear the real ones!

Hi Dools,

I’m sorry about the dog next door & the owners making all that noise. I have to confess we own that dog too! But for the most part we’ve given up yelling at him. It hurts my throat lol.

Hi to you too David. I tried smashing plates once but I smashed my favourite coffee cup & I've always regretted it. Too stupid to smash a cup I didn’t like .

I hope everyone has a good night. My husband has football, cricket & tennis to watch tonight so he’s having forty winks now in preparation.

Feeling shock I think about something that happened in my life today . Is it an unreal feeling, far away feeling, lost feeling, bewildered feeling and a nightmare feeling and you want to wake up soon sensation? If it's shock, well I really don't like it

l wish l wasn't such an introverted nut.

l like who l am and how l am , but l feel so bad for the other person bc they'll need 10 times more than l do.

Hi Topsy,

One dog I might be able to cope with, they have 3 dogs and that triggered the other neighbour's dog. Barking for a while I understand, not the whole darn day!

Maybe go to an Op Shop and ask them to keep donated broken crockery. You would be surprised how much cracked stuff goes into charity bins. You could have a smashing time with all the rejects.

After that, you could start doing mosaics!

[topsy_]

Oh Dools, I wouldn’t even be any good with the mosaics! I haven’t got an artistic bone in my body. I watch people paint on YouTube because is so peaceful & calming but I can’t even do colouring in & have it look nice. I think it’s because I just don’t see things in detail. Like flowers - I just have an overall impression.

I went to this “therapy session” once for the Inner Child. We got to play with paints on tables. So I mixed colours I liked & thought it’d be wonderful but all the colours mixed went a dirty brown/black colour & was really yukky.

Funny now though. Take care, T.

Hi topsy_, How ya going mate?

I was just reading your interest in mosaics and being peaceful and calm. Liking for flowers and inner child, colours and wonder... Ok - we can do that, do you have a store of photos that matter to you?

If so digitise them if they aren't digitised. Then simply cut and paste the images into "paint", resize them with a few left click drags, arrange them in your preferred mosaic, make saves as you go along the way... and boom, 30 images later you will have created a mosaic of meaningful images.

I've done it, it's heaps fun and pretty simple processes though like all art taking time. Screen capturing (google it), "paint" and "photo" are the two microsoft apps you can use for free.

good luck have fun = glhf. love dng.
