How is your day going?

Quiet day at the mill, mainly watched the goggle box. Done some washing and cleaned the bathroom, just trying to do little bits and bobs. I’m hoping there isn’t any rain tomorrow as I’m going to attempt to go into the city centre to watch Nuremberg.

Anxiety is crippling in so many different ways, when it is triggered you end up paralysed! It leaves you with a huge defensive wall that even the smallest thing can bring it up like a medieval drawbridge to protect yourself.

From the outside people that don’t understand Anxiety and its complex nature, seriously leads to misunderstanding and often confusion.

we that struggle daily with Anxiety often isolate ourselves because we face challenges in very busy places, work environments, social situations etc.

Anxiety is the worst it robs you of a life living in constant fear and im starting to understand thats how I lived as a child constantly scared trapped with my parents who was very cruel and that I actually have a trauma bond with my dad mind blowing someone mentioned on here about trauma bonds also we are living in very scary times have to do constant mantras in my head my worry is about surviving labour they have really put concerning bills through wish I knew how to live off grid id be gone today

Morning all.

Good Afternoon everyone 😊

Busy start to the day with putting bedding in the washer, then put washing away from yesterday. Then I tackled my fear and had a shower, nearly slipped a few times when standing up from the stool. Then it was a case of shaving the old head to a mirror finish.
I have ventured out into town, grabbed a coffee and now sat waiting for Nuremberg to start.

Going to be a very powerful film, I hope some of today’s generation watch it and learn something from it. I remember watching Schindlers List in school and learning about the Holocaust and it’s something’s that’s stuck with me ever since, the little girl in the red coat is seared into the minds of anyone that watched it. I’ve not been able to watch it since then. Another powerful film is one called Freedom Writers, a teacher in America went into a run down school with a very challenging class that were of mixed races, religion and creeds. She went off the set book list at the school and bought each class member a copy of Anne Franks Diary, they were very reluctant to read them at first but once they started reading it they were shocked to the core. The teacher also got them to write their own diaries which they were reluctant to do but did do. The students wrote to Miep Gies who helped Anne Frank and her family. They raised money for Mrs Gies to come to America and meet them, they sat down and listened to her stories. her experiences during the Holocaust, her decision to help hide the Frank family, and the importance of fighting prejudice and discrimination. Mrs Gies said to the class that “ They were the real heroes in there own life study” Mrs Gies very humbly said that “I just did the right thing at the right time”

Thank You 😊

I have had a keen interest on Military History for a very long time. I have quite a vast collection of books on many different conflicts but a lot are on WW1 & WW2. I think my interest in military history I stems from my Grandfathers service during the war, alongside other family members. I lost two Great Grand Uncles on my Dads Side and a Great Grand Uncle on my Mum’s side during the Great War.

Glad you’re safe and well at home after tackling the shopping monster. The weather has really taken a turn for the worse, could be set for a bad end to Autumn and maybe a very cold Winter 🥶

I need to get my barrels varnished and planted up so they’re set for spring. Main one to get in the soil is spring bulbs that I’ve got.
