How is your day going?

I cannot 'power nap', if I fall asleep in the day It's guaranteed to last between 2 and 4 hours, if I set an alarm on my 'phone, I guarantee I will not hear it. If I wake up and my dogs are staring at me that's what then gets me up straightaway.

Thanks for your support and kind words, @Catherine21 Yeah, telling myself not to worry is only adding fuel to fire. But often it is difficult not to go down that road of self-blame, isn't it?
Wow, Karl Jung - sounds interesting indeed.
I am currently reading a few pages a day of Tara Brach's Radical Compassion which is definitely about being human and all our so-called flaws (those can turn out to be our strengths actually, but that is another book by a different author).For me it is mostly the feeling of responsibility, but not much considering what I myself need. I am learning to change that, but it is far from easy as indeed we live in a demanding society. Not much room for people who are ill. Makes me sad.

I understand that i used to be thier for everyone even if a stranger told me thier life story id want to help been known to give money to homeless people even if it was my last pound and when I was working id go home and cry about the people I was supporting and give them money also I had so many parts of my personality god good and bad to be honest ive isolated for years and I dont think professionals understand when I say people everyday trigger me what does compassion for yourself look like ? Its so hard putting up boundaries without that guilt feeling for me anyway but it really is a must people become used to you being the one who's always there no fault of thiers how to express yourself in a way people understand but it really does start with us people will push back and find it hard when you put yourself first at times but self presvation is a must says me lol ps excuse spelling

I will tell her and thank you Catherine. My dogs, minus a fair few teeth between them, would have anyone's 'guts for garters' (not heard that for years ha ha) if anyone got in here, especially Snicket, he thinks he's 50kgs and 5ft tall 🥰🤣. He deserves his name (brave little soldier ha ha). This is him at his bravest 😉🥺 and the black and white one would have their nose ha ha. xx
Edit: the blanket's just a 'cover' 🤣😂.

Sounds awfully familiar, especially the guilt. Sometimes it even activates my flight-fright system when I don't know how to get it out of my head.
Today's self compassing was this guided meditation, it changed my perspective from 'I am stupid' to something entirely different. Thankfully. May appear easy, but it is not.
And then something else came up and now I am back to being sad and shaky, feeling unworthy. What did I ever deserve for life to become such a nightmare?
What do you do for self-compassion, Catherine? Or anyone else here?

I have to do mantras challenge your thoughts they are bullying you making you believe your not worthy no one can hurt us more than we do ourselves would you say to other people wjat you say to yourself my loathing comes from trauma and I believe it comes from wanting everything to be perfect but I cant obtain perfection try to soothe yourself talk kindly with compassion impossible to do all the time as for most of us this is years of self torture put relationships life in the way more impacting not everything is our fault and we cant resolve or make things ok for everyone take time for yourself my go to is baths love baths do something little you enjoy could be as simple as a cup of tea and 20 mins for yourself I have a million conversations with myself so I do try to make some kind ps excuse my spelling

There was a handful of people I missed very much on here that's why after 8 months I'm back, Bluebell was one she always checked on me on the threads on days I wasn't around that's something very few did and I never forgot It. I hope she will also wish to come back one day and whatever her reasons for leaving are aren't unresolvable. Please tell her I'm back and send her my very best 💛

I'll do that right now Nightcity, it's a great shame, she's one of the very kindest, genuine people I've ever met and a force for good on the forum. You take good care and thanks 🫂.

another quiet day at the mill, scraped myself out of bed and did a bit of washing. Then spent most of the day just watching tv, really struggling to say the least. Moved my appointment for my coflu boosters for probably the fifth time. Just honestly don’t want to leave the prison cell and don’t want to face the world.
