Two snakes, haven't looked into the species. One med sized, yellow/tan, black tongue. The other so small and a lighter shade of tan? Must have been a baby. Two magpies. Feeling lucky to see two magpies.

When things are all good, 15-45 min more or less to fall asleep. When symptoms are acting up- it’s mixed. Sometimes takes expected amount of time to sleep, sometimes longer. For me, what is more consistent/expected is that when symptoms act up I wake up easier. Notably after approx. 1 sleep...

Is there a way to hide my content from certain individuals?

Saw a flock or gang of 7 turkeys on a run yesterday. All female, minding their business on the right side of the sidewalk, walking through dry desert grasses, wildflowers, and weeds. What is particularly odd about this is that last week, much further down along the path, a had a sighting of 7...

@WinnieThePoohChris Do not interact with me again.

Will make attempts to clean the slate, but am predicting problems. It’s incredibly difficult when anger bubbles up regarding certain issues. Certain issues in my life seem to have more anger built up behind them than others. The lesser distressing issues do have access to a healthier expression...

I like the simplicity of this, and agree this is the ideal situation regarding anger than I want to work towards. At the same time, it’s not consistent with my experience. It’s like what you said about how others perceive the emotion. The reputation and cultural norm of shame around anger often...

Feels like a double edged sword. Damned if I repress. Damned if I express.

Guilt and shame paired with calm and hope.

Thank you and sorry you can relate. There have been times where, in hindsight, I recognize that my emotions can be inappropriate in proportion to a situation. But there are an equal amount, if not more times, when my emotions are not out of proportion to a given situation as well. It is fair...

Thank you for the welcome, Susan Jane.

Best of luck with that. Same. It's a shame that true anonymity has a price these days. If 'true anonymity' ever genuinely existed in the first place, most of it has been lost to the age of the digital sea.

Thank you for your welcome, Rose.

No. I did make a choice to give in some, even out of provocation and rage. I could sense the trap, and I stopped caring. For a moment I got tired of avoiding. All things considered, I could have done much worse. Decided on nothing too harmful or damaging. But I did give into the set-up, even if...

Thanks. I'm at a point in life where I'm tired of the BS. Tired of manipulation. Tired of domestic abuse. Tired of sexual assault. Tired of being told that these things are my fault and my responsibility. All this from people who accuse me of avoiding self-reflection, but fail to look in the...

Thank you for your welcome.

Thanks for the welcome, parrot. I prefer to keep to myself anymore. I've put in some time before sharing online.

I can't tell if they're growing or not. The way I see it, problems I have are going to follow me organically and inorganically. I find that I'm responsible for the former, not the latter. What matters is taking the steps to address the problems that I can, however I can at the time. I hesitate...

Hi, 30 something y/o living w/ cPTSD. Fortunate to be able to keep most symptoms in check and keep them from spiraling into something bigger thanks for movement and exercise. Movement is a priority for me. Living with mild autism, adhd(?), dyslexia(?), ocd(?), some level of disassociation...
