Then a while later someone violently kicks a football from the hallway into the classroom. It almost hit me and did hit my chair. That shook me up also. Homeroom teacher suggested I go home - the only class I'm missing out on is Art, and that's difficult even when I'm doing well. (It's loud, chaotic, unorganized..)

Mum picked me up and I'm home now. And I've calmed down some. I hate PTSD. I mean, who gets this upset about two fairly small things?

Umm people with PTSD get upset about those things? I once fled Christmas shopping because some guy grabbed me from behind in a crowded store. He just wanted to show me there was a shorter line but I was already at rhe border of stimulus overload. I bolted for the car and pissed everyone off......felt stupid after but thaysvhow PTSD is.
I'm glad you were able to go home early but sorry you had such a rough day.

Thanks. I guess you're right. Thanks for sharing your experience - makes me feel less of a freak.

It is stressful to change jobs or to move -when combined it must be much worse.

Parental unit in town. Again. Sliding and I just climbed back up. I can get through this. I am an adult. I make my own choices. I am in charge. If only I believed that :/ They need to move farther away.

I've only ever done the both together. And honestly I own my own practice here and itd be nuts to leave but after 10 years I've got the urge to leave for a new adventure

My parents moved a lot for my father's job. It was stressful to me and appeared to be so for them.

Yup - that was me three, four weeks ago. Fortunately I didn't have much to move.

I moved very frequently as a child too. I'm sometimes amazed at how the stresses of those sorts of things can be glossed over by adults. :-/

Hey couch. My lunch is ridic early today. I'm still hearing in my head t saying "i see you" yesterday, so it is a good day anyway. My son is leaving for Dallas after i get off work today. Excited for him but will likely worry. Its a week-long school trip. H is sorta giving me trouble again about the cost of therapy. Meh.

I need somewhere to hide. Thats me under the cushion, please don't sit on me.

Jan 29, 2016, 06:06 PM

Hugs to all who want them. Thanks Art for telling me I am not an idiot or stupid backward

StressedMess · Jan 29, 2016, 06:17 PM

BunYip I saw the bulging cushion just in time, good thing I didn't squash you flat! I need to stretch out with my ice pack on my back and chill after another wonderful day!

Jan 29, 2016, 06:27 PM

Thanks SM for not sitting on me. I have found a crayon, scissors and glitter under the cushion, I think i will make a collage.

RedSun · Jan 29, 2016, 06:31 PM

Glitter, yay!

I love glitter

Jan 29, 2016, 06:45 PM

Glitter is weird. At Christmas there was something glittery that the runty puppy got his head into, no amount brushing would move it and when we washed him it appeared to have gone, but there was still glitter sort of outlining his eyebrows.
I was never allowed to have glitter or anything that would make any kind of mess when I was a kid.

I like to put glitter on my horse.
But he does not like having glitter on him

Do you put on his mane or on his coat as well? Does it come off easy with brushing? What colour is he?

His body is chestnut brown, black mane and tail, white legs , white face, white on neck.
I use a glitter spray in his mane and tail. It gets everywhere. On me , the dogs, my clothes, my hair. I also use a glitter paste with stencils to put stars on his butt. I usually use blue, silver. Or "rainbow mist"
I tried putting glitter hoof polish on his hooves but he wasn't having that. He squealed at me and ran away!

OOH A bay I have fondness for bays as well as palominos and blacks. He does look gorgeaous in the pic. My brother had this huge chestnut mare who was a real ***** She only seemed to like me and my brother, so when he went away once his wife would pick me up twice a day to go and feed her.

Is the next couch going to be the glitter couch?

StressedMess · Jan 29, 2016, 09:14 PM

Why have I put off filing my taxes? Online FREE software, 30 minutes and I'm done. My kids and I are imaginary-spending my imaginary-refund faster than it will ever get here.

If you get glitter on your scalp it is near impossible to remove, but the 7 year old loves a princess crown! I pick it off her (sometimes in public!) and I wonder if people think I'm looking for a snack like a monkey. So embarrassing mom!
