A little bit of peace thanks to the rainy, cloudy weather.

That would have freaked me out, too, Justmehere. It was nice that a stranger walking by helped you.

I realize that I sit with my left hand clenched a lot of the time. Stress.

Rain! Just a little but it's great! Cool and damp.

I stood out in the rain. It was a very light rain, and cold, and I just stood in it for a few moments but I needed to experience that rain.

A little rain here, too! Yay!!

It's not that we attract predators, it's that the predators are exceedingly good at sniffing out victims, especially once you've already been victimized. They're the ones with the sickness, not us.

When you refuse to leave the house because just the presence of another person, even a sleeping roommate, is preferable to being alone.

I'm thankful for some boppin' music I forgot I had on iTunes. I needed that today, it really perked me up.

More rain is ON ITS WAY. They often tease us like this and it ends up being just a few dribbles or fizzles out entirely but I am going to stay positive and believe that there will be more rain here on Wednesday!

Is that an English springer on the left?

If spending a few days' at your cousins' would help, I'd do that. At least it would get you some breathing space.

Beautiful rain! It looks so normal! The humidity is up to a normal level, there are clouds overhead (clouds!) laying low like a big, fluffy gray blanket over everything, and a steady patter of rain noise outside. Usually it only rains for a short time and instead of smelling good it just makes...

It rarely rains and rainy weather is the only time this awful place feels halfway normal to me, so I am ecstatic today because it is raining!!!

I am thankful that I saved for two months to buy a real Christmas tree, and it was cheaper than expected, and we chose a really good one! That's two years in a row the first tree we picked out was the best.

I am happy because we got our tree tonight.

Wow, that sounds familiar! I spend some time in bed before getting up: to ground myself after the exhausting night, to do some physical therapy to help me get moving, and to pray and meditate. If I have to wake up at a specific time I use a BioBrite sunrise clock (one of their old-style ones). I...

One thing that was very important to me was an office environment that felt safe - no loud colors or patterns, bright lights, or loud music. I also wanted an office that had a separate entrance and exit to preserve privacy, so patients don't bump into each other. I was fortunate to find all that...

It depends on what you mean by "high IQ." Beyond a certain point you become removed from the majority of the population. For example, it can be difficult to find others who can relate to and understand you when there are only 1000 of you in existence at any given time. How would you even find...

Summer

80. I wish it were just a little cold.

After posting in the thread about cutting family ties I'm kind of missing one of my sisters. She and I were a lot alike. I think she came out of the abuse and chaos worse off than I did; I tend to face stuff head-on and she tends to bottle things up. I hope she got some therapy and worked a lot...
