@rav3n I think we could try distraction chats. I'm about to hop into bed soon so I'll be wrapping myself up in a blanket then. 

[rav3n]

ofccc, hope you'll be nice and cosy!! @Dreamy 

my questions for you:

• would you rather be able to breathe underwater and explore the ocean... OR breathe in space and explore the galaxies/universe?
• if an alien showed up at your door, what questions would you ask it?

[Dreamy]

@rav3n ok that's actually easy for me cos I'm not a big fan of water due to trauma so I'm taking breathing in space and exploring the universe. 

I'd ask if they can take me back to their home to get me away from here. And then on the way ask what fun things they like to do. 

[rav3n]

@Dreamy i'd choose space over the ocean too. although, space kinda scares and deeply fascinates me. 

SAME i'm going with the alien. surely they'll have some cool stuff to explore. and probably more advanced than us... maybe they have that pause remote that we're after 🤔

[Dreamy]

@rav3n i think space is amazing but yes there's definitely scary factors aswell. 

Maybe they do have that pause remote either way I'd enjoy being able to escape from this world. 

[rav3n]

yeahhh i'm picturing space like in lilo and stitch, and hoping there's nice lil aliens out there 😋 @Dreamy 

i hear ya about the wanting to escape. so imagine we land on a new planet and we get full control over what that looks like - what would your new planet home look like? what animals/pets would you have around? 

[Dreamy]

@rav3n haha yes definitely like in Lilo and Stitch, gotta have those cute lil aliens. 

See this is where I struggle, I have zero imagination. But there's got to be some type of alien doggies, they have to be fluffy, maybe with coloured spots. I don't know my brain just doesn't work imagining things. 

[rav3n]

@Dreamy hehe yesss!! 

you're imagination is perfect!! alien doggies with coloured spots would be super cuteeeee. 

i'm picturing this but MORE fluffy:

i can see you having your own colouring/art studio too. 

[Dreamy]

@rav3n that looks super cute. Definitely gotta have an art studio.

I'm almost at the point of calling an ambulance, I'm laying down on my bed and my whole body even my head is shaking but it's both inside and out, you can physically see my skin shaking. It's like all the muscles are shaking inside. 

[rav3n]

that sounds super overwhelming @Dreamy definitely don't hesitate to call if you're feeling unsafe, i'm sitting with you.

would closing your eyes and humming help? i know humming might be a weird suggestion, but sometimes its helped me when i've been shaken with anxiety. maybe humming 'om' or even to the tune of your fav song can help the fight-or-flight response calm down. i'm here with you, you're not alone 💙
