Make room for it all. I like to imagine all these âghostsâ competing for space inside me. If you fight to keep âem out you lose anyway, may as well let the emotions have their day.

Iâm feeling so ugh. The new kid moving in and the mentor moving out is all weighing on my mind. So many conflicting feelings. Anger + sadness + disappointment + resentment + guilt + pity + somehow partial apathy +feeling bad for all of the above + whatever the negative version of nostalgia is is a potent combo. I typed out my feelings before ultimately deleting because it was too long, but it didnât help. Also went for a walk and tried to distract myself with YouTube and other things but that didnât work either

Hopefully thatâs all they want. But I like that metaphor

They canât hurt you. It might feel like it, but it wonât actually leave a scar. Least thatâs been my experience.

That sucks so much that they didnât wait for the new mentor to be there. Can you be super busy and away from the house to limit the amount of time alone with him until thereâs someone there to mediate if needed? Obviously with your stuff locked away in your room.

Iâll be going away for 6 days or so the day after he moves in and have enough on my Myki that I can escape if needed. I also took out a little bit of money in case I need to bail for a whole day

I keep a hand written journal. You never know, it might be just the thing. It keeps me balanced.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Maybe. Iâm not really into handwriting though

Neither. But it works differently to typing I reckon. Feels different.
