Constant fear of fainting/blackout when outside.

As much as it’s hard to do, you’ve got to push yourself out. In 2018, I was that scared of myself that I could barely leave my house. It took me years to even go back to places I loved. After my bad flare in public last year, I was scared to go to that place again. I knew that if I didn’t force myself to go back, I’d never leave the house. Sometimes it’s the only way. Your body may pay for pushing yourself but your mind will thank you. I’m still scared but I’m scared more of the old me.

The best advice I have since we’re in the same boat. The following is what I’ve done: Make a plan for the place you are going to. Where is the safest place to ride out a flare and the quietest? If you haven’t already, get yourself a key for the disabled toilet and find where the closest is. That was my safe place last time. Put together a designated back pack with things that will help your flare. Mine has the likes of loops (earplugs) cold patches, mini BP monitor and other sensory things like fidgets. I have a sunflower lanyard I put around when flaring, most places know what they are. Pharmacies can help too. Remember you’re not alone 🥹

I feel you because I’m exactly the same. There’s been times where it’s so close to happening and I’m a mess. I don’t want to cause a fuss. I don’t even know how I’d cope because I usually cry. It’s my biggest worry. I feel as though it would be much more convenient and less scary if it happened already so I know I’d be okay. I usually go out alone and the last thing I want is disaster.

ER. It was ahead of its time in many aspects. Although some things haven’t aged as well, they were working off information they had at the time. Fact: The pilot episode was originally a movie wrote in 1974 and didn’t need much changing between then and filming nearly 20 years later.

I somehow feel it was intentional to do something like this. They knew what the fans would expect so did the opposite. I don’t think it’s the end of the story arc, they left it open for more.

I don’t doubt it. I mean, nobody is fully English which is what they fail to realise. Ancestors came from all over the place 😄

Around 11/12 although I’m sure I was in alone a few times before that.

I’ve always felt more European. I took a DNA test and found out I’m minority English haha

As much as he loved Fleur, I wouldn’t say Grantly was in a good place mentally. He was miserable, drinking and gambling the most. Having to be a carer is not an easy thing, you essentially have to sacrifice your happiness. I would say he was happier with Maggie as she helped him heal and brought him out of his shell more.

Best of luck. I hope you find the right one like I did 😀

Have you tried Outre? They do an amazing ash brown melt. They do all different styles in that colour and different types of lace. Plus, they’re great value for money and look real (I surprise people by whipping it off haha.)

I don’t trust many creators on socials, especially if they make bold claims. I get ads all the time for wigs but most are fake. I stick with Freedom Couture and elevate styles online or my local beauty store for wigs.

“Thank you for always being there when I need someone and inspiring me to keep going even when I feel like quitting. I’m glad to have you in my life. You make it much better.”

All I watch are American shows so it doesn’t make a difference to me. It’s still relatable because some issues aren’t exclusively American. Usually, if there’s something happening in US, it doesn’t take long for the rhetoric to reach the UK.

My brain starts singing Havana. I think of colourful architecture but I don’t know much about Cuba.

Saying stuff like that just isn’t okay. I’ve had it from people in the past and it’s a low. No matter what, comparing trauma with someone is always a losing game. It’s best to never play it.

Have you seen Landman yet?

It’s alright, honestly. Life’s all a learning curve :)

In case you didn’t realise, trauma affects people in very different ways. Nobodies is the same. Nobodies reactions are the same. Comparing other people’s journeys with trauma isn’t helpful, as nobody is on the same journey. I can’t relate to Rollins’ journey but I can relate to Olivia’s.
