^Stress?

I know that one.

Yeah. I can't seem to get it under control lately. It's been happening multiple times a day.

It never ceases to amaze me at the stuff I find by the side of road while walking.  Yesterday, it was a decent size roll of black electrical tape and a nice metal S hook.  Which I always find handy to have.

You remind me of my SO in that way. He always had a keen eye for noticing things on his walks and found the most interesting bits and pieces.

I love it, the thrill of discovery and finding interesting bits and pieces puts me in a good mood.

Glad to see someone found a use for my "friend's"  Troll Skull.

Work?

I've had a lot of that lately and for me, it's most definitely my work situation. I spent the first half of Friday in the office feeling shit, then decided to head to the airport early. The feeling went away.

No, my clients are all on hiatus until the New Year. They're all in relatively good places so I cleared my schedule. I had to because I haven't bounced back since the hotel incident in MO. I can only seem to sleep deeply during the day when I know things feel safe so the smallest things seem to trip me up. But I'm sitting in this state of hyper vigilance at night so I think the lack of sleep and high anxiety/stress is the culprit.

Hyper vigilance sucks.

 

Hope you can let that go soon.
Would something like a massage help? Taking away the bodily signals of muscles telling you need to be hyper alert all the time?

Sometimes seeing the physiotherapist makes me sleep at night, because my neck and shoulders have been relieved from their 24/7 duty, and somehow my mind then listens. (If that makes sense )

Unfortunately, no. Having people I don't know touch my body is a massive no now. As are staying in hotels by myself. Having been digging at that with my psych but we've agreed I can't test trauma right now. My body is too riddled with it.  In some ways it upsets me because both used to be something I looked forward to.

Damn, In that case, have another virtual for what it's worth.  At least you're able to tolerate those
I guess you;ve tried breathing exrcises and meditation , and...welll just about anything else we might suggest.
If  you're willing to try something off-the-wall unscientific, I can recommend  Bach Fower Remedies (specifically Star of Bethlehem). Seriously. Just don't tell these other spazzes or i'll never live it down.

Hyper vigilance is one of my adaptations.  Just recently, I was approached by a customer for help and as I was giving it, he raised his hand like he was going to clap me on the shoulder or arm and I VISIBLY recoiled.  While I was still being civil, it irks me when people irl and online do that.   I set boundaries, and when people irl and online cross that, I push back......I don't trust strangers and when people lose my trust they never get it back.

Can I just go back to bed and skip today?
