How are you today thread (trigger warning)

Stay safe out there, Birdsong, and my sympathies.

Good luck, birdsong folks.

& Sending moral support your way, birdsong.

& It's going to be crazy here too. I don't know why people react like that. They are just asked to stay forking home except for emergencies. It's basically what we are doing even outside of lockdown. It's not that bad and it's not like sustaining a siege.

& On a happier news: still on antibiotics because, infection under the skin. Allergic eczema is getting better, the thing given to us to ease it up helps a lot. And the hematome is barely visible anymore. We can close our hand in a fist again, and the only remaining incomfort is in the joints because they haven't been moving for a few days and now they're a bit rusty. But all in all, I guess I can say that we're doing so good we might get back to doing the daily push-ups this evening!

*** Trigger Warning - (surgery, panic attack)***

So, one of our partners is going into surgery to be steralized and we are not doing so well. It's currently Alex out and typing, but everyone else has been close and even almost switched. They just took her back and I'm having a panic attack rn. Idk I just needed to vent, idk how to feel. It doesn't help that places like this (hospitals) put Neko on edge so along side my general anxiety he's on high alert. And then Aki is also freaking out, she's the closest emotionally with this partner so she's not helping at all rn.

Sending you good thoughts, ZodiacDragon folks.

We are doing much better today. See our journey thread, linked below.

Hugs Zodiac, and hang in there.

We’ve been doing weirdly good, considering we’re stuck in the parents’ home for the foreseeable future. Have had a ‘new’ (new to me) teenage part coming forward, who is quite possibly a previous host/main fronting part, which has thrown me (current host/main fronter) off because I believed I was the only one. Thinking about it though, us having had multiple hosts and me being relatively new makes sense. It does feel pretty trippy, since I have shared memories all the back to the body’s childhood. Hope everyone else is taking gentle care— I know holidays can be really hard.

were sending good thots & positive energies to all who need it
its a rough time of year and its been a rough year

<3 <3 <3

were kinda hanging in there
gonna hafta see the mother next week
but only for a very short time
so it should be managable

I hope everyone in this thread has it easier soon!!

On a positive note, I've been feeling freer than i have in a very long time. Being able to look at other's experiences and my own without feeling guilty is really comfortable, and im so so happy i have a partner who loves all of me (all of us even) without wanting me to change. They also got their antidepressant pills back yesterday so less nightmares hopefully!!

Me and ken have also been on better terms ever since i told my partner, but its not like we were on bad terms in the first place, its just that im less scared of what being us means. We've been wishy washying in and out together (but im still in charge, cuz they get tired) and its been very comfortable.

I'm feeling happy and playful! A part of me (just me, not us) that rarely gets to come out is bubbling to the surface, like a cat who's just finally started to feel safe with other people.

Good luck everyone, much love; cinna <3
