I prefer erasers.


Do you have scented ones with super strong fake fruit smell?


The ones I just dug from the dustbin smell faintly of fish.

Yes. I've done all that. Next year we are moving house, away from this area. I've put everything in place, done everything I can. I just have to wait for time to tick down to reach my goal.

But I've been doing all these f*****g baby steps for 23 years. TWENTY THREE years. I'm worn out. I'm done. I want to DO SOMETHING with my life! Instead of creeping along, bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit.

Summer 2024 is my deadline. If my plans don't come to fruition then, I'm walking or driving off a cliff, end of. I can't continue in this grey, dull, lonely, restricted life. If it means leaving my family and moving away by myself, I will.

BECAUSE I AM DONE WITH THIS!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Next year is where my current story ends, one way or another.


One of the best things that helped me was simplifying my life, and that involved avoiding toxic people.
It may seem contradictory, but it does give you time to recover even if it feels "grey".

You're giving great advice Pepe, thank you, but I've done all of it already. I work alone at home, I don't see any toxic people and I'm good at avoiding them online. My life is super, super simple.

I just have to put one foot in front of the other til we can move house next summer. Tick tock tick tock. Eventually time will tick away til we get there. I'm determined to move 8)

I hate that my brain won't let me forget about my trauma and has to f*****g force me to constantly relive absolutely horrible s**t via dreams that trigger the hell out of me. I can't get it to stop and when it happens I want to just bang my head against a wall.

Have you tried Tapping/EFT for this? It does help.

At first I thought 'what nonsense. How can tapping help me get over things?' But I did try it and it takes the edge off. Obviously it can't solve problems or make it go away but it's easy, free, no special equipment needed. I'm very sceptical about these alternative treatments normally.

If I'm overstimulated, everything is stressful and confusing.
If I'm understimulated, I'd be bored and restless.


Regardless, I'd feel sleepy or tired and discomfortable. I have no sense of sensory balance nor actual preference.
Only a few stuff here and there.


It never helps that I couldn't find any deeper sensory ideal for basically my whole life so far.
I spent most of my waking life having been bombarded by unwanted overwhelm and underwhelm as a 'baseline'.

Because my uncontrollable rhinitis symptoms won't leave me alone and give a fricking break.
Let alone let me recognize the contrast and realize which my body prefers and needs.


TLDR; this stupid 'allergy' stole a good portion of my waking life.
A lot of things would've been very different if it were even a bit manageable. I would've able to know more, do much more...

I have to accept this fact that it already happened. :roll: I can, intellectually do that.
But emotionally? It's being a stubborn brat. Can't this part of me fricking get over it?!?

I think I've heard about it before. I'll give it a try.

I think it's just RSD being a bee-yotch, but my boss + coworkers are kinda not happy with me for forgetting to clean my register before leaving work yesterday. Saying I should know better since I'm in a supervisor role and such.

I do clean it most of the time, I wish they'd acknowledge that. Plus I have ADHD and while yes I am medicated I do still forget stuff sometimes.

No, it was probably a stupid argument that got blown out of proportion due to poor communication.

If someone does not want to sex me up, then it's probably over, bye Felicia.

The f*****g Waitrose driver refused to give me my groceries because I look younger than 25. There's no f*****g alcohol in my order. Wtf. Don't know where the f**k I've put my photo ID, so couldn't prove it. I thanked him and told him it's fine, they have to follow the rules. :(

I'm fourty-fucking-three.

Going back to Ocado. f**k you Waitrose.
