Oh, and we would need to have a concert area! An outside stage for nice weather and a building too for just in case it were to rain in Shimmerzville.... although it would NEVER rain on concert days in Shimmerzville! ❤;):tup:

"I've been uptight and made a mess
But I'll clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care"

I heard this yesterday.... Shimmerzville for real?

The Problem with the Solution

"talks about how reducing stigma can improve mental health."

I can attest to this. ^^^^

Eleanor, I am so happy to see you. Hello my friend!

If we all lived in the same town, we could just run out of the door in a panic, out of breath, heart pounding.
The people on the street would think "oh, they´re having a panic attack, give them some space, it´s going to be allright" (either that or they get a panic too, and the people left would be there to help them).

If we all lived in the same town I could go outside and do my slow-awareness routine, where I stand still, look at the texture of things, breathe, touch things, in order to get grounded. No one would think "what a weirdo, must be doing drugs" (or something like that)

If we all lived in the same time, I could give real hugs and have real mocha frappes with my friends but giving them real hugs and real support would be so great. We could watch movies together and listen to music together and go for lovely nature walks together.

And no one would be having to look for a place to live. We'd all make sure that wasn't a problem, one way or another.

Yes to all previous ideas: barbecues with the community, and (especially) to the idea of a place where you can go just to break things (this would be the only place were loud noises would be allowed: put on your safety goggles, grab a baseball bat and start whacking). It could be located within the noise suppression zone :D

Also each home should have its own small relaxation center, for those who cannot relax around other people: with a jacuzzi (oh yeah), a sauna, and of course also all those things we bought in the spiritual shop (the incense, whale music, singing bowls etc). No need to bring all that into the town, we could just keep it in our own homes.

Extreme noise-canceling headphones for when we need to go into town but don´t want to hear anyone. A rule to leave everybody who is wearing them alone (until they take them off). And maybe giant aisles and separate grocery shopping hours per neighborhood block (so we have plenty of space while shopping).

Or maybe just a grocery store on wheels going from door to door. One that runs on electricity instead of gas. Noise-less vacuum cleaners and definitely NO leaf-blowers. Fire alarms that don´t emit a screeching sound. Maybe a more calming sound. No flashing lights. Perhaps a big red light that goes from bright to dim gradually.

I´m thinking something along the lines of a kids playground with adult-sized equipment, such as: a bouncy castle, and swings. A communal animal zoo where pets would be free to roam with plenty of space, we´d go there and take turns taking care of them and maintaining their habitats.

I´m halfway through the comments, will be back later :roflmao:
