(((((( All ))))))

I do think the warnings were needed for me. I dissociated this AM for the first time since June. I HATE the feeling that dissociation brings!!!! So I sent T an email about it and his gentle reply made me feel better. Then at work I got a nice hug from my safe male friend. That helped. And my boss is letting me take off work tommorow since they will be here in the afternoon and I am not sure how I will do at work tommorow anyway since I was so switchy today.

Looking forward to seeing my mom!!! I am trying to focus just on that good part.

Thanks again for the support. I very much appriciate it!

thanks for updating us, wepow. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking of you and hoping it all goes well. I'm sorry you dissociated, but it's good that you noticed and did things to help you be grounded. Stay safe

Okay, if you follow through with your plans, please don't feel you have to post anything rosy about it here... please post your truth with it, so we can continue to support you in any case. I do send you positive energy as well. And hope your time is at least enjoyable with your mom.

UPDATE:

Made it through the day and still sane(ish) :-)
Dissociated a little at dinner.
Stayed emotionally numb all day.
Still dazed but know I am ok.
Kept the stone my T gave me with me and used his energy to ground many times - that made a HUGE difference.
My younger dog, Little Buddy, barked and growled at my dad most of the time he was in the house this afternoon and after dinner, but he was fine with my mom. He wouldn't let my dad pet him at all. :-) smart dog! Then when I got back from dropping my mom and dad off at the hotel, the first thing I did was to bleach the bathroom since he had to use it!

Off to sleep now - took a benadryll and Dramamine together so it will knock me out and I can sleep without any alters waking up at midnight tonight! One did that last night and I thought I was dreaming - but she wrote T an Email. T wanted me to call him today but I was with my folks so I just sent him back an email thanking him for wanting me to call him. Just knowing he was there for me really helped.

And yes, I did end up giving him the look I wanted to give him, but it was odd and I didn't care any more about it. And he looked away very fast.

So that is it for now. Thank you all again for being here for me. It made a huge difference.

I can imagine how tired you must be, wepow. I'm so proud of you and in awe of your strength. Really.

That was a great idea to hold a stone your T gave you and to use it as a literal touchstone to remind you to stay present. I love rocks & collect them where ever I go and usually have a small one in my pocket or purse at all times.

How are you feeling? It sounded like a tough encounter. Well done you! I thought of you on the day. And was it nice to see your mum?

You gave him that look and he could't look you in the eye!

Take care,
Oceanwave
