    Good morning @Grumpy1314 or should I say "evening" as your body probably thinks yesterday is still dragging on? 🙄

    Sorry to hear about your insomnia. What kinda of things do you do to cope with it? I've started just embracing when I can't sleep and getting stuff done in the night – it's fine when I can't sleep for simple reasons, but obviously can't do anything productive when I'm awake because of anxiety

    I hope today is reasonable to you

    @Catherine21 I get into fads as well but mostly food ones haha

    I'm into overnight oats at the moment … I never liked the texture of porridge but liked the taste; the oats are less sloppy and I get the nice taste

    I wasn't saying the concept is sinister, just I think it negatively affects innocent people while not actually tackling the issue it intended to in the first place

    unless i feel better i might just stay at home… i ihaving flashbacks from my incident.. and feelings of guilt, i truly hope it will pass. but also really slept so so … my medicines do not really work and are already in the highest dose except for the painkiller.. i am not sure . i am having high hopes for the future but at times i just do not want to see it. i am going to have a camomile and hope my heart settles.

    thank you @Catherine21 i am laying down in bed watching tv… while playing internet at the same time. i will stay at home but tomorrow i really need to go out. i will see how i feel.. i am trying to calm down.. maybe i should go to a park and try to relax…. nature is very soothing. i have to convince myself it will be ok.

    i really have to challenge myself to do things.. i have no confidence at all.. A nice park is always good.. even if it is a little bit of green … i am forcing a lot… that is way i try to keep busy because before i was on my own all the time. i need to keep optimistic that something good will happen and things will improve.. but my health been downhill for well over a decade now. but i have to hope my health will improve.. when i was working i was so busy working i forgot about myself. that is why my health got worse. anyway. pass is pass and that can not be recover. but the future is now and for that maybe we can do something about it . being a pessimist does not work , that is another thing i have to change. manifestation tell us to say thank you for today even if we do not know what will happen. i have been into manifesting things for a while.. it does sometimes but very frustrating when it does not. i will wait for tomorrow to run for the shops .. even if they open later.

    i got a friend who tells me the same.. it is hard to break old habits but i have to be more optimistic. when i am positive things happen if i am not .. i have a bad day… that and be more confident.. so yes. i am trying to change habits little by little.. still have to get rid off things and change more bad habits. step by step.

    @Catherine21

    I liked reading what you wrote yesterday about negativity and being a strong person

    I struggle with so much doubt and I don't understand why I'm so horrible or what I've done wrong. I just want to be reassured that I'm a good person, but I think being told helps occasionally, but really it has to come from yourself

    I sure would not recommend tree hugging barefoot in a thunder and lightning storm you could end up with a nice new hair do haha

    @Catherine21

    It's reassuring to read what you're going / have been through. Obviously horrible to know another person has similar but it helps alleviate the isolation.

    I think combined with autism and the "black/white" or "all/nothing" aspect of autism adds another complication.

    For example in my mind if I'm not a horrible person then I'm a fantastic/perfect person… and I know I'm not perfect, so I must be horrible. It sounds stupid to people who don't get the all or nothing mindset but it's how my mind often works. 😆

    Like you I'm working on it and it's a constant battle but it's worth it and makes you appreciate little things that most take for granted, I find

    @Catherine21

    It's interesting about you wouldn't do it to other people, that just shows what a nice person you are… putting others before yourself even subconsciously

    I recently wondered, some of the things I think, say and do - even physically - to myself would be considered abuse if I did them to somebody else, which doing so would never cross my mind… but for some reason I consider it OK to be emotionally, verbally & even physically abusive to myself 🤔
