hey @Bow sounds like you've had an exhausting day, i can see why you'd want to crawl into bed. a lot of those feelings that were opened up at schema therapy seems to still be quite fresh right now. is there anything any strategies that help you self-soothe that you can try? whether that's just listening to come relaxing music or even taking a nap?
i'm sorry you're feeling all these feelings of hopelessness, i wish i had the right words to make you feel better. let me know if there's anything i can do for you, i'm here with you.
also wanted to check if you're safe? is mum home with you today?

I curled up in bed for a bit @rav3n but that hasn’t really helped much. Now I need to be up doing parenting things.
yeah mums home. Not real sure how to answer your question though, I’m sorry

i see, hopefully you can rest up later tonight and get a good night's sleep to recover @Bow.
thanks for letting me know, i really appreciate your honesty. i've also just sent an email to check-in so you can reply to me there whenever you've read it 😊

Thanks @rav3n hopefully I can be curled up back in bed soon. Just watching some tv now. I’d appreciate some distraction though

@Bow of course!
what are you watching on tv? do you have a comfort tv show or do you tend to watch whatever running?

I always watch neighbors and home and away @rav3n my step dad use to call it crap hour, but I like it. My daughter and I are into the hunted which has just started too. I usually watch a bit of reality… survivor type, not trashy romantic stuff. Or a bit of drama.
when on the treadmill I like to watch a Netflix series, at the moment I’m watching the rookie.
what about you? You watch much tv?

oh nice! @Bow i've watched bits of neighbours and home and away over the last few years but never enough to actually remember characters or plots, i used to watch bits of the bachelor/bachelorette but it felt too staged in the last few seasons so i stopped and i used to watch the simpsons too. now i mainly watch netflix or disney+ shows, i'm rewatching grey's anatomy & vampire diaries at the moment. i've seen some clips from the rookie, it seems pretty interesting! i've had a few plot twists spoiled to me through tiktok 😅
haven't heard of the hunted before, what's that about?

Neighbors and home and away has been around for so long @rav3n I ve been a fan for ages…. Been to both places to visit! lol
yeah it’s hard to know how much of some reality shows are staged and scripted.
this is the second season of the hunted that daughter and i have watched together. A group of ‘fugitives’ in pairs, are released in Victoria and they have to stay on the run for 20 days i think it is. There is a group of detectives and IT specialists and people like that trying to hunt them down. On day 19 or something they are given extraction details and if they make it they win. This season they began with robbing a bank so they are carrying around 1 million amongst them all.

that's so cool that you've visited the place!! yeah those shows have been running a long time, its actually quite impressive.
wow how have i only heard of the hunted today!? that sounds so interesting @Bow i definitely need to check it out. would you say reality tv is your main favourite genre? have you watched gameshows like the chase or have you been paying attention? i used to love those. also how old is your daughter if you don't mind me asking (totally fine if you don't want to)?
