💯 relate.
I distract myself with a lot of YouTube, movies, mobile games.
Now I'm adding forums here to my list as well.

Hey @Jason_and_me, I definitely hear you when you say you feel a separation between yourself and people around you. It’s unsettling and sounds like you have been dealing with your condition for some time.
Hows your day been? 😊

It’s been a tough stretch.
I made it through the weekend, and my wife is home safely from her trip, I’m really grateful for that. My plan was to have everything setup to keep things positive for her return, but a self-sabotaging family member turned up two hours beforehand and set off a chain reaction that pretty much derailed everything.
I’m trying my best to just breathe through it and appreciate the chaotic mess of it all. Good news is I have now experienced EMDR treatment. So I have a feeling I am incredibly vulnerable after that.

That does sound like a tough stretch, particularly with the relative that derailed things. I'm glad to hear you're embracing the chaos and breathing 💮 through it - those sounds like helpful strategies especially if you are feeling extra vulnerable right now 🌿
