    Political Venting

    I picked up a book in Budapest a couple years ago that is fascinating. It is called The Weaponization of Everything. It was published in the UK. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, it is well worth reading. We are all being manipulated on a mass scale.

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    Had an okay day then this evening had a kind of clawing feeling at my heart, a feeling that something is slipping away. Chalked it up to full moon in Cancer. It’s like a fear of big unknown changes and people I care about leaving. “The rupture of the real” is what my analyst might call it...

    Sufferer practicing self expression in a safe space.

    I've been working with Pete Walker's book for a while. He encourages "practicing self expression" so I've been journaling, writing, and making art but I don't really have any people in my life who have the time, bandwidth or skill set to listen and relate. I'm hoping to find some of that here...

    How have you treated yourself recently? As in, something you did just for yourself.

    I went book shopping and, while looking for a nice new fantasy world to get lost in, found this: I feel weirdly called out? 'Seen', as they say? Anyway, I bought it, naturally.

    I've read Pete Walker's book "From Surviving To Thriving" but I'm stuck in the healing steps because of emotional numbness. I have depersonalisation and I'm super tired all the time, which I've read that this could be because of dissociation. Pete recommends "Coping With Trauma-related...
