Fell off the wagon with Couch Workout Club updates.
Day 47 - three sets of seated core workout exercises. Day 48 - three sets SCW and a walk. Day 49 - got my steps in today with a walk around my local wood. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Nice! I got in 16,000 steps Sunday with the help of another concert. About 3,500 yesterday trying to recover from that (but still hit goal, having to do stuff like take out the trash up the block to the corner with H still recovering). |

Couch Workout Club day 50!
One set of seated boxing workout, due to 'the mess' and feeling drained after therapy. Thank you Couch for getting me into an exercise habit. I didn't mention an imminent trigger date to R this morning, and now I'm wondering whether to email my contact at the helpline and ask for a check in tomorrow (although that's a busy day for the helpline) or just pick up the phone and see who I get. If I'm going to email H, then I need to decide soon. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Well done on 50 days!
I'd go ahead and ask H if you want a check-in. Worst that can happen is a "no." Probably better to get someone you know than a random person. And hugs, if wanted. |

Thanks, LT.
Next Thursday feels a long way away, and although R seemed to understand when I said that I needed to rebuild my sense of safety, beginning that process took up the whole session. Hard to believe that I said to H on Monday that I was ready to stop the weekly check ins. She honoured that, but said: 'Just because your regular support is back, please don't ever think that you aren't worthy of this space.' This kind of backpedalling is somewhat normal in the field of mental health support...I hope? __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Today my sister & I went clothes shopping, I found a really cute dress. We got Indian food for dinner, well our mom and I did, sis got thai food and her bf got mexican. Mine and my mom's indian food was SOOOO overly spicy we could barely eat it, even after adding sour cream to it and we both ate ice cream right after. My mom NEVER eats ice cream - that's how extremely hot this food was! She was shocked cuz she's gotten the same dish from that same restaurant before and it wasn't nearly as hot.

I love indian food and once was at a restaurant where I picked something I had not had before and the waitress (who was indian) was like "no" - I was 'you don't have it?"- and she said they could not make it unspicy enough for people not used to a lot of heat.
My partner and I laughed about how she really saved me because their non-spicy was super hot to us. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

H from the helpline responded to my email this morning and offered a slot to talk.
I appreciated the opportunity to speak with someone who understood the background, rather than having to go through it all over again. We had a helpful conversation about the 'cost' of Steve stepping into his truest self.
Possible trigger:
I asked whether we could debrief on Monday, and H said my 'usual' slot is available, so we'll speak again then. She also gave me some information about a YouTube channel with somatic practices for releasing emotions. I'm going to try and use one of them tomorrow, I think. Other than that, I don't know what I need, and should probably try to work that out. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

We had to have a parent of an adult grad student removed from our building because they came to yell at a colleague about their offspring's not being treated like the special little flower that they are.
It is nuts and unfortunately, it is probably going to happen more. Parents are ensuring their kids never ever grow up. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
