@rav3n ahh ok, so it’s like every other editing software then

Also how are things going for you?

[Former-Member]

@Jynx thankyou. I have a safety plan but all it really consists of is me reaching out for support when I feel things getting too much for me. And right now I don't even want to reach out for that help, I just want to shut the world out. 

[Jynx]

@Former-Member sometimes we do need to conserve our energy just for survival - sounds like you're feeling it'd be a drain on your resources? 

And hey, you're here with us!! That's a type of reaching out 😉

Do you have a nice, secluded lil spot in your space so you can feel like you can hide from the world? Like a safe space or comfy sensory zone or something? 

[Jynx]

@Blackcloud yeah you're making sense!! One of my fav quotes is, "All progress takes place outside of the comfort zone." Sounds like a fab goal!

Ooooh exciting!! New language!! Do you know much Korean? 

Pew pew pew!! I know that's not how laser treatment actually sounds, but it's fun to say 😋

@Jynx @Ok so the admin just responded back to me after I sent her a follow up email. I wonder why she didn’t do it before…. I’m pretty disappointed in her already and a little mad but oh well UUURRRGGGHHHHHH !!!! 😑😑😑😑

and regarding Korean, yes I can read Hangul & know a few basic stuff and some words too..

[Former-Member]

@Jynx i just don't want to bother anyone. 

Yeah being here is still reaching out. 

I don't really have a safe space, at the moment nowhere feels safe. I just want to be in bed but at the moment I'm sitting at my table, I don't even know what for. I don't know what I'm really doing right now. My head is all over the place and I just can't function. 

[Jynx]

Heck yes @PeppyPatti you're such a superstar!! 😎✨

[rav3n]

pretty much 😆 but i've just found it easier to use than ones like iMovie. which software do you use?

@Blackcloud things have been pretty decent, been spending way too much money shopping recently and i also have a tonne of clothes i need to put away but besides that, been enjoying the warmer weather (by warmer, i do not include the humid 30+ degree days). how are things going for you??

[rav3n]

@PeppyPatti 100% safety is super important!! i really want to do some self-defence classes this year, it's in my 2025 bucket list

@Former-Member Sometimes I gotta remind myself that I don't actually know that contacting someone is going to be bothersome or burdensome. Sometimes people actually really love having an opportunity to be able to provide support to someone they care about. Do what feels right for you though, of course 💜

Is there something preventing you from heading to bed, or just the kind of...dissociative paralysis that can keep us stuck sometimes? Weirdly with that one, I find it helpful to shake my head about - like you're clearing an etch-a-sketch!
