What is this!
How do I/we cope with existing in such a fast moving environment, one where everybody has to work like Hell to just get by.
At the time of my abuse it was not so bad, because life was so much more laid back, people worked hard, but mostly there was not such competitiveness like there is today.
How do I cope when the TV is full of sex offenders doing this and that on the news, and if it is not that, it is lawyers trying to get you to sue people for accidents.
Imagine the compensation we would get, given that we could sue, the only compensation I want is to never have had my human rights violated, and be able to have lived a normal life.
The next thing they will think about, is insuring babies against future abuse, dont even think about it, because I would not put it past them.
Then I am watching Aussie soaps like everyone is so nice to each other, and friendly, a far cry from the reality of life.
Shopping can be a bad habit for me, comfort shopping I think it is called, and it can be addictive, I have to keep a lid on it.
Just keep me away from Ebay.
I went out today and bought some doh, like a little kid just staring at kid stuff, and at one time I would never have thought it wrong.
I got the Doh home, and just played like a kid with it, so maybe it did me good, just feeling the texture, and rolling it, playing with it like a kid does.
For something that cost about a dollar, I reckon it was well worth it.
What are your compulsions, or ways of grounding yourself?
