Nightmare

I just woke up from a really bad dream. My mom was signing me up for a school. It may not seem bad to you guys but it's one of my worst nightmares. I litterally woke up thrashing around! I never do that! I'm really scared and I don't know what to do.

Take some slow deep breaths. Distract yourself with an activity or utube,
or something. I have read books on why we Drean and they all say most dreams don't mean anything, or they are not to be taken literally.

But my mom keeps touring schools and is saying the only way I can get an ESD or PSD is by going to a school. My worst nightmare is coming true!

I know this sounds stupid to some of you.

it doesn't seem stupid to me. it gives me flashbacks to how i have felt each time i have retreated to wilderness isolation and watched humans from afar, wondering if i could trust any of those toxic, 2 legged vipers within striking distance of their poisonous rules and confusions. during those isolated episodes, a baby offering me a piece of candy was enough to give me nightmares. my mother sold me into child prostitution. you don't wanna hear the nightmares that baby's mother gave me.

once a psyche has isolated to that extreme, there is no easy way out. nightmares guaranteed, no matter which way you decide. who knows. . . maybe if i had isolated a few more years, my nightmares would have subsided.

was i smart to come in from the wilderness and face my fears of you and all the other 2 legged snakes destroying my wilderness? most days i think so, but other days i'm not so sure. you human critters sure are scary.

for sure i'm not confident enough to fault you a lick if you decide that your fears are far better companions that those creepy humans you'll meet at school. what's so bad about living in utter, abject isolation with only your fears for company? if only that were a cure for the nightmares which followed me into the wilderness. guess i'll never know now. for sure the nightmares subsided after a few years of facing my fears of humans.

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
