Friday April 5, 2024 | Journal prompt: Picture yourself as a content as a child

-



The time I was playing with Barbie and made a little house for them.  I had in my room two closets in apartment 26 at Longfellow and in between my two closets there was a plug outlet. I put in a night light and made a little cardboard house and the night light acted as a light in there house.  (I am damn lucky that didn't catch fire in my room.)  Well anyway, I was very content and happy. 


One day we were having a garage sale on Austin Street back in the 80s and Jennifer sold her Barbie house to me. When I got tired of it, we put it up the attic to save it for one of my cousins who is younger than me. But it never got out of the attic because in 1987 there was a house fire when my sister frying french fries.  First thing my sister grabbed was her cat Miss Kitty before she ran to the neighbors to call the fire department.  Then Snowball (my cat) walked up after it was all over with.   I was about 13 and she was about 17.  Well me and my sister is five years apart.  Anyway, why couldn't she just buy french fries where she worked at McDonald's at the time?  That would have been the safest way to go.  If that hadn't happened, it would have happened when we were there or when we were sleeping.  Ouch!  We could have been dead or injured.

Sunday August 25, 2024 | My dream on Saturday night August 24 | Hypnosis for selective mutism

-
I had a dream that I was in the hospital in Galveston Texas like the one I was in when I was 10 years old.  Working on getting rid of SM through hypnosis.  Is there a good hynosis therapist in Beaumont Texas who specializes in selective mutism?   I am determined to overcome selective mutism now or at least most of the way.  Some idiot told me that I won't be able to overcome SM entirely.  Ugh!  Or will I be able to overcome SM entirely?

Wednesday August 28, 2024 | Do parent's say this to their kids who have a disability? (the highlighted words in this blog)

-
Got this from copilot from the question I asked, " would people pleasing be an example of "you don't want to disappoint mom do you"? "   Is this true?   Sorry I had a flash back of my dad saying that question phrase that is highlighted in yellow.    (A phrase that my dad said to me when I was 3 and 4 years.)  Ah, the delicate dance between parental expectations and a child’s desire to please! 🕺🌼 Let’s waltz through this topic, shall we? “You don’t want to disappoint mom, do you?” —a phrase that can carry both love and a subtle weight. It’s like a mini emotional tug-of-war, with the child caught in the middle, clutching their teddy bear and pondering life’s mysteries.   Here’s the scoop: The Mom Guilt Tango : Parents often mean well when they say this. They want their child to succeed, be kind, and make them proud. It’s like they’re handing the child a bouquet of expectations, hoping they’ll bloom into the perfect little sunflower....

I knew this when I was 5 and no one had to tell me this. So is this really true? But because I have selective mutism, my learning challenging and people think that I am stupid. It is that communication thing that people think that I'm stupid. I know the highlighted and BIG LETTERS SOUNDS unreasonable, I just want to get across to people that I am anxious all the time! Do I have to start cursing for you people to hear me? I will. I know that BIG MOTHER OF ALL CURSE WORDS. I bet no one knew that did they? Actually, I got it from those kids at the hospital in Galveston when I was in the hospital back in 1984. So I knew about that word when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Actually when I was 4 years old I felt like I didn't belong because I was trying to tell myself how or where I got my selective mutism and I felt that way for a long time. Maybe my dad has ADHD? Perhaps my parents have ADHD and it somehow turns into autism in children? High-functioning Autism. I th...
