oh so to update: 🔥 may be re-emerging again in her apocalyptic presentation 🫣

aka. uh. she started out as an anger reaction that was suppressed in teenagehood but was also related to us internally combusting and splitting more? and it's that second facet that seems to be emerging.

We've been able to confirm (with decent certainty) that the activity going on now is related to 🔥 and. as much as I have grown to appreciate her ability to change things up and help us adapt. uh. It comes with a cost. So I'm, uh, hoping we can find another way??? to mitigate those additional costs

friendly reminder to anyone who knows what a dissociative disorder is:

it is spelled dissociation. dissociation (diss-so-see-aye-shin) is an involuntary disconnect/detachment between the brain, the body, and the surroundings. sociare, latin for 'to connect with others', is the root word in dissociation, and dis- is the prefix, meaning 'the opposite of', in this case, means the opposite of connection.

there is also disassociation. disassociation (diss-uh-so-see-aye-shin) is a voluntary thought process in which you attempt to break off from a group/person/idea, or to stop associating with them. associate is the root word in disassociation, and dis- is the prefix, meaning 'the opposite of', in this case, means the opposite of association.

very similar words, somewhat different meanings!

distractions , distractions all day long , take half dozen courtiers to get this done - try to neaten up some of silliness , but might still see some . hopefully bearable !

do not think this will end up as some kind of formal series , but figure if no words even seem to be out there ... maybe need to take plunge on discuss !

Dinner with the family went well. Back at home now, having started laundry. Already have a little bit of energy back, though still tired and anticipating further socializing this weekend. Trying not to think about it all at once so I don't get even more drained.

Currently have a snuggly kitty on my lap, which helps. Time to wind down....

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

Anxiety has been ambient and on the rise for a while now. It's been a while since I got kicked into gear.

Currently outside on the balcony while our partner vacuums. (The noise triggers our sound sensitivity, although the AC unit being on isn't great either.)

His mom and her partner are visiting. Her brother and some of his immediate family are also visiting. Of course, this means our brain goes on full alert and drains our social battery as a precautionary measure for whatever reason.

Gonna munch on some of my garden plants to chill out a bit more.
