Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah I know it's just hard not to think about it when it's more than likely I will cry. @ArraDreaming 

It's a mindset I should try and change. 

[ArraDreaming]

Identifying it is the first step, your already half way there so props to you

[Birdofparadise8]

Hahah all good @ENKELI 

Yeah, it's hard suppression, which isn't good. I don't feel good doing it. 

Um, well, I've been told about it by others a lot lately, so I'm not really recognising it for myself, only through others. @ArraDreaming

Hi @tyme 

How are you? 

My parents are nearly home. 

[ArraDreaming]

Yeah and? @Birdofparadise8 tell me how that’s a problem that someone has identified something and given you feedback? We do most of our learning from others, all through life, that’s not a bad thing that someone has been on your side enough to let you know they have noticed something

[tyme]

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

They are home? To you? To Tassie? To the hotel?

Sorry, I haven't been following. I'm only just catching up.

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, I guess so @ArraDreaming 

it's not terrible, but I don't know how to change it. 

All good they are in the sky hahahha @tyme 

[ArraDreaming]

well your here trying and working with your supports on it

[ArraDreaming]

actually you know what you need? and soon this can be you, but maybe you need someone around you to call you on it, and eventually you’ll be able to notice it first but small steps.
When I’m feeling anxious my wife is the first one to say “your doing it again did you notice that?” “Did you notice that you are being really indecisive and talking really fast?” “It’s Sunday and you are aggressively cleaning our house at 11pm” And I’ll be like, oh right… I am, this is what I do when I’m anxious… why?
and I’m getting to the point albeit slowly where I’m like I’m feeling anxious right now, I don’t know what for though I’ll find out (sometimes I already kniw ).

[ArraDreaming]

so someone to be like “your talking about crying again….”
