Invading Other People's Space

OMG!! I was standing in line this evening at the local pub waiting to order our meals. Anyway I am making sure that I am staying further enough behind the lady in front of me because of social distancing. I'm standing there for a minute or so and then I could almost feel breath on me or I could hear the breathing. So I turn around there is a woman older than myself standing about 20-30 centimetres away from me! Are you f**king deadset lady?! I could almost smell her breath on me and it was of alcohol! Lady, you are not socially distancing with a borderline who also has other mental health issues including social anxiety. Oh and I also have had my 3rd booster and so far have been lucky enough to not have had Covid!! Can you please back the f**k up?! The borderline in me wanted to turn around and say "Can you please move?", but the niceness in me thought, just breathe and shut your mouth!! Luckily the lady taking the meal orders was working extremely quickly and I got to the front of the line pretty quickly. But as I am ordering, I turn around this woman is still literally the same space away from me!! Bite your tongue Norty Borderline! 

Once I got back to the table with my Dad and my housemate my anxiety levels came back down (well the Jack Daniels may have helped with that as well. LOL) I was ok, but I seriously can not believe that just because we are no longer wearing masks all the time, that people are not practising social distancing. Covid is still around, so isn't social distancing still a thing? Can someone please correct me if I am wrong?

Anyway what are your thoughts on social distancing and covid etc? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
