chameleons3We constantly forget DW exists. That is a shame because it has a lot of utility.
We process aloud often, and relationally, and get a lot out of holding space for others. That means making a habit of checking online spaces that aren't just Discord. Even remembering to check Mastodon can be a struggle.
We are not doing poorly. Not anymore. there were four days in a row that on their own would've been difficult. But back to back we just imploded. Collapsed. Were soup for a while. Blendy isn't bad on its own but can be hard when it's due to distress. Were talking slowly and with a lot of effort, words were hard, thinking was hard, everything was so difficult to tolerate.
Once we did some somatic regulating, we were able to cope. Then blew something out of proportion that got us whacked out again (got enyo whacked out, therefore all of us) and then got some somatic co-regulating to feel decent.
Not in our window of tolerance yet, but better.
We need to make a habit of using this site. It's very good.
