Tuesday February 28, 2023 | Journal prompt for Tuesday February 28

This may be a rather dull or uninteresting blog but when I was three I probably was anxious and couldn't talk to anyone. I was anxious when I was 2 and 3 years old.  What happened in preschool is what I would like to call trauma.  When I entered kindergarten, I was mute. I would not speak in class, teachers or to my peers.  It's not that refuse.  I wanted to speak to my peers in class but I physically couldn't.  Something happened in preschool when I was 2 and 3 years old.  This is why I believe I had selective mutism when I was 2.  I was anxious when I was 2.  I wouldn't say anything when I was 2 to anyone else because I was scared back then.  

I am able to speak to my mom in small sentences.  I am able to speak to my sister in a small group 2 to 3 people.  I am able to speak to my dad a little bit.  Not able to speak to my niece, nephew, aunt and cousins and brother-in-law.  When the problem is with my niece and nephew and that they make me anxious.  

Well on the cruise back in January 2022 I spoke to my three aunts.  Now on my third cruise to Panama, there will be two extra people--Louis and Uncle John.  Now this will be my third cruise.  What do I do when I'm anxious?   I have this Gratitude app that I downloaded on google play and it's gratitude journal prompts.  It has in app purchases but you can use it for free.  Did you know that writing journal prompts makes it easier for me to be less anxious?    

Scream

I heard a tiger and jumped up in bed screaming!!  I was walking around in a cemetery. It wasnt just any cemetery. It was a cemetery for celebrities where they died and was brought back to life. Then heard a tiger. And I screamed. And continued screaming until I woke up.
