Good morning 🌄 @REDLINEZ750 and anybody else who's awake this early. It looks like it's going to be a nice sunny day here, which is good. I need to go home today which I'm not looking forward to. I've been running away from a toxic person who wants to be my friend. I know I'll have to put my boundaries up, which isn't always easy! I have to do it for my own peace of mind. My mental health hub is closed all week so I'm not sure what I'm going to do to occupy my time. 🙃

Hello @Shaz51 it sounds like you've been very productive since 2 am. Do you normally have trouble sleeping? I'm going to a mental health hub today to hang out for awhile. My usual one is closed all week, getting ready to close permanently next month! I don't know what I'll do after that! 🙃

hey
Learning about putting up boundaries is a new skill for me. I have a lot of fear about it, not sure what my rights are, how to speak about it, fear of upsetting the other, fear of abandonment. It has been terrifying, but I am accepting it as a new project to deal with the feelings and not completely withdraw. Gradually this year, my panic and anxiety is ebbing more quickly than it being all or nothing.
I am listening to an actress from Big bang theory, on HSP.

i hope things arent as bad for you as back home as you feel will be, are you back now?
i have had people like that before its not easy situation and im no good at diplomacy so tor me trying to explain ends up in people getting offended or upset & earlier in life would feel responsible or guilty
Now i learnt my boundaries are mine and i have a right to enforce them & they need to be respected
explaining them not necessary, still hard to be stern cold if needed despite being told im good at it
happy to chat anytime & SANE might be helpful hub to lean on over next week
i just going through catchung up now first time on today
hope you still managed to have good day

Hi @Shaz51 sorry late reply i just got to laptop first time been a short day i slept later than norma;l haha
@Appleblossom yeah i never heard of boundries till my forties and that took time then even more to learn where mine are and still learning now.
i learned a big one as i mentioned to heartathome is i have the right to enforce them and no i doesnt need to be explained why its in place and if asked then clearly dtill not respecting respecting my right to enforce it therefore having no respect at all which is not how i ,make porridge.
after that a lines been crossed and no going back which is easier for me to do i spose coz it alaways takes place before any trust is given.
not easy i know the fear and panic you experiance, mine was around confrontation and violence i grew up with which without realising led me to aooear confrontational & combatant myself creating the scene i was afraid of. im still learning isolations not the answer.
hope you both hadd great day!
