  good people, normal people, usually self question and self blame and start to think that maybe they are the one who is narcissistic

  sure, people who are victimised by narcissists might end up with psychological injuries but that’s not the same as being narcissistic

  here is a video by a therapist, that I watch regularly, to help us affirm that we are ok www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5X2Q2dunHU

  A lot of people in at work early, someone’s playing music from their room and the sound is travelling to me. Usually not so noisy so early I don’t know what’s up today.

  To counter it I’m playing Dua Lipa’s Houdini before I go outside.

  Much less stress in the kitchen. Made a kickass mushroom and pea curry with cashew cream, and finally cooked up the cabbage (with possibly too much of ajwain seeds). Everything is clean and tidy and I don’t feel so overwhelmed. Success!

  I’m going to have another crack at Juice… 25% of the way through and not that impressed, seems like a lot of heavy handed exposition atm. But I’ll keep going

  Ugh… Reality is creeping in. I was somewhat positive for T1 this year in my attempts to turn it all around and make up for my garbage performance since day one (years ago) of this hell I signed up for…

  Nope. Gave myself massive overwhelm yesterday which I always find weirdly fascinating. I mean I’ve been all manners of stressed yayaya (for periods of time) over this years over different things that I associated with just being me. That constant hyper alertness which I always just put down to the good old highly strung, (yep, RIP amygdala), you know SOP (which becomes one of those horrible self-perpetuating things). Sorry, brain dump, back to the overwhelm… which doesn’t usually get to that point or happen very often.

  I just wonder about it though… I used to think it was mainly contained in the echo in my skull, but these days flight just feels so visceral. A real, strong physical gut feeling, I don’t want to do that. They say you can’t always believe the story your mind tells you, and I tend to think (like my great procrastination skills) I make a mountain out of mole hill, start doing it, and yeah, it’s never that bad or I should have started/done this earlier.

  Looks like I might be back to cold water/partial icing the way I’m going.

  Okay, partial meltdown and being overly dramatic in progress. Moving along. Nothing else to see here…

  On the subject of things that should really be taught in school, one of my top requests would Identification and Management of Narcissists.

  I’ve recently had someone go into defend me against a narcissist abuser in my life, and all the defender has managed to do is become a target himself and escalate the narcissist’s rage towards me.

  I am overwhelmed

  So I have to decide between uni A and uni B. I am currently enrolled in uni B. Uni A is 20 minutes closer than uni B. Uni A also will give me a scholarship which would be about half a year of pay at my casual retail job. They also offer paid employment a few days a week next year whilst doing a project that’s part of the coursework. This is seemingly a no-brainer, but part of me just wants to stay at uni B? Uni B has a few perks in terms of subject selection which could help with employment, but uni A is pretty much guaranteed experience and employment. Uni A will only let me teach two learning areas, where one I wouldn’t feel comfortable teaching unless I absolutely had to, but that learning area is more employable. The Uni A option will allow me to support myself better financially, but I don’t think I’m ready to be thrown into a classroom so soon without any supervision. I also have to remember that I’m not stuck into any of these, but I have to make a decision on which uni for this year by the end of this week. This overwhelming paragraph represents the state of my mind right now. Then I have to pick between piano and guitar lessons because I can’t keep doing both. I think keeping piano is something I want to do because it is relaxing and I wanna learn jazz piano. I can figure out piano more on my own, although having lessons will mean more accountability. But I feel like I shouldn’t give up guitar because it hasn’t been that long and I haven’t given it my best shot? My pinky finger refuses to cooperate, and I don’t know if it ever will.

  Not been feeling too well lately, resting and watching old stuff.

  Shows like Extreme Cheapskates are just fake rage bait. Yeah, a woman with a full face of makeup, false lashes and an entire set of false nails is so frugal she uses dryer lint for makeup removal. She drives an SUV to the supermarket to beg for meat scraps. Pull the other one!

  I hope that episode of Adults Adopting Adults was faker than it looked though. I’m aware that these shows are very scripted and heavily edited but Danny was seriously concerning. I actually feel like that situation was one of the rare ones the camera didn’t overplay.

  For the fungus gnat fighters, I got these sticky sheets in the post today and cut them up into traps approximately the same dimension as these Bunnings ones.

  Works out to like 8¢/trap (or less) instead of $1.29/trap. Being able to make dozens means you can get way more coverage. Also customised the size to be wider for my larger plants, and want to experiment with different shapes just for fun.

  They seem to be working, too, in just a few hours many have already caught gnats.

  Melbcat still takes her breaks in the other room and cuddles a lot but she seems to have perked up a bit. She’s finessing me for treats and I think she can see them - I shook out a few crumbs which she ignored but when I placed a full treat in front of her she went for it instantly.

  She also jumped over a small box to go look out the screen door.
