@Anrish :hug:

When all you know how to do is speak in shorthand, how in the hell do I improve this one:(

Expanding and explanations might come handy. :sneaky:

Take what you'd say in short form, think of how you'd tell it to someone who absolutely doesn't get the same vocabulary or not even the same language, explain the same thing in more words, do the same consistently.

Thank you @Ronin so much for the help and support. Much appreciated.

.........when you find out that someone died and you envy them.

 

[Gs172003]

When your favorite place to be is locked in the bathroom.

 

[Kallisti]

When you get into a panicky rage in the morning, but calm down after finding your phone in the fridge.

 

[Anrish]

When you perceive your "taking care of yourself" as "running away" - so it's negative again.

 

[Ronin]

When you think you handle beeping, you're aware enough when you are and where you are, either of them suffices - only to hear too close a beeping and you know you're so screwed.

Stupid f*cking other watch, this evil thing goes out.

When you first come to the board and offer in what you think is truth, "No, I only disassociated once." :roflmao: Thank God for therapist and this board.

 

[Chiqui]

When people ask you how are you doing and you go blank, not knowing what to say (so much going on in my mind, where do I start?)

 

[Kallisti]

When it's your turn to cook dinner, but you've been to the dentist (dissociation), and you have to consult the recipe (that you normally don't need for this dish) 24 times.

This is seriously where I am this week... T does not approve.

so instead of running away, you go back to bed or lock yourself away to avoid facing the world altogether.
