Contamination thoughts

My Sunday was very peaceful for most of the day. I bought treats home for the kids this evening and now they are high as the hills @creative_writer Oooppps!

Do you like chocolate?

@tyme kids will be kids 🤣. I am sure I would be high as the hills if I was their age. My mum described me as a hyperactive one, though I used to act differently at school. I was the daughter toddler who ran away when her parents were praying at the mosque, I stole people’s glasses, because I liked shinny things. My parents found me with the security, I was mischievous.

I prefer the dark chocolate variety. How about you?

[tyme]

Really?? @creative_writer  I would've never guessed you were so active and cheeky!

Wow!

Do you think that personality is still within you?

I love hazelnut choc and dark choc 🙂

@tyme I may no longer run away all the time, I do still find it hard to sit still. I’ve always been this way. I’m the person who fidgets a lot. I didn’t really realise the extent until placement. You do have to find more subtle ways of fidgeting when with clients. I was even watching a video of myself the other day, it’s was so cringey since I was stimming the entire time.

I don’t have good memories of hazelnut, I think I’m allergic to it. I think I have developed a taste for dark chocolate with time, if it’s too milky it doesn’t taste so good anymore. Do you have a fab brand? 😊

I love dark choc with roasted nuts like the Old Gold... the only one I really don't like is Lindt... I don't know why. I just don't like it @creative_writer 

Stimming is not 'wrong'. I guess it's about finding appropriate vs less appropriate stimming in public?

[creative_writer]

@tyme I don’t actually eat much chocolate, I mostly just have dates I think I prefer dates, and expensive dates. My taste buds are very snobbish. I think I prefer the gift dark chocolate for Lindt than the dark chocolate blocks. 

I know there is nothing wrong with it. It can get a bit excessive if you bounce your legs and move hands too much during a session with a client. Ring twisting is a more subtle alternative

I think there's a spray or something for restless leg syndrome... not sure if you want to speak to a health professional about it. @creative_writer 

Then again, I think it's about finding a job that suits your needs. Some may be over the phone or via telehealth - if you are concerned.

[creative_writer]

@tyme I've heard magnesium can help, did not know there was a spray. I think restless leg syndrome is more common in those with ADHD.

I haven't had a very productive day today 😞

[creative_writer]

I feel heavy 😞

What's going on @creative_writer anything in particular that's bringing this heaviness? Have you had your counselling appointment?
