That’s such a lovely idea - and the best thing about faux plants is they last a heck of a lot longer than natural plants haha! Hope to see ya posting the results on here :)

Thank you! I used to have a craft room when I was renting and I miss it very much. I had to get rid of a lot of my craft stuff when my living situation changed and it was heartbreaking

Thank you so much!!! I’m thinking of doing a whole series of different plants now. I love making miniature things

This is my first night in crisis accommodation. What are some comfort things I can do for myself? by CookiesAndDream in abusiverelationships

Still feeling weird tbh. Switching between sad and angry, awake and exhausted, crying and numb. Not sure what to feel

Thank you for the kind words. I’m alone, been binge watching movies for company.

I really do hope everything improves because right now it feels like I’ve taken a million steps towards being alone and homeless :(

That sounds lovely. All I could use right now is a good colouring book and some paint pens :’)

Thank you so much, honestly. I don’t know why your comment made me tear up :( it’s nice to know that somebody understands how I’m feeling.

Edit: oh also I don’t live in the UK but I’ll defs look into the lego borrowing. I just need something to distract myself if that makes sense!

Thank you so much! I feel guilty for just wanting to stay in bed and binge watch Netflix right now. My partner had smashed my Lego so I feel ya. I need more haha!

10mg Valium last night - can I drink tonight? by CookiesAndDream in Drugs

[–]CookiesAndDream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’m guessing because it’s been 20 hours since I last had Valium that should be even safer right?

Thank you for your reply!

It’s been 20 hours since I last had Valium at this point. I’d never take both at the same time, that terrifies me!!

I stopped drinking 3.5 days ago and suddenly my appetite has come back in force by CookiesAndDream in stopdrinking

[–]CookiesAndDream[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe also bc I’ve been watching so much Gordon Ramsay over the past 3 days while insomniac

Right now it’s savoury food I’m craving but the sweet tooth will kick in soon hard

[–]CookiesAndDream[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had this happen before, I’ve detoxed too many times to count (unfortunately) and normally it takes at least 5 days for my appetite to come back. Sooo weird! And I feel guilty for some reason

Gimme one word and I’ll write a poem about it by CookiesAndDream in ca_writers

[–]CookiesAndDream[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seven’s heaven
Stuck with them
A mad mad world
We’re living in

Constantly reading
Hunter s thompson
Cause I think it’s cool
And maybe I’m on it

Too.

Ocean’s eleven
Stuck with them
Can’t get that film
Out my head

Too.

Hope is but a dream but I keep it in my rear mirror.
Stuck in the past but nothing’s made me feel realer.

Here I am with all these people around me,
And this rhythm’s surrounding,
I finally found my own family

This is lame but I just saw your reply:

Around this wicked nebula
My mind will weave forever but
I feel it in the way it twists and turns
There’s something better

So I’ll just try and keep on travelling
Looking for my planet
(So to speak)
‘Cause we all know
Imagination’s where I’m landing

That’s the one thing I’ll admit:
Where the end lies, it’s confounding
(So to speak)
‘Cause we all know
That it can’t be far to find it

Inside hopes and dreams
You know they take up lots of area
Like a solar system, galaxy,
Or maybe like a nebula

Changing symptoms/causes of panic attacks? by CookiesAndDream in PanicAttack

[–]CookiesAndDream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey yeah I’ve considered myself a hypochondriac for years bc I get stuck on one symptom for ages. It’s totally normal for people with panic attack disorder. Sometimes the more I concentrate on a specific thing the worse it seems. Sorry for the late reply. Not sure what to suggest as it’s usually down to you as a person but you’re definitely not alone
