I found the Father Brown/SIster Boniface series on BritBox very soothing after my mother died last year, when I too was feeling unmoored, and wanted quiet murders solved by nice people who loved one another.
They're really not Catholic at all -- just calm British wish fulfillment about an orderly universe we'd all like to believe might exist.
I think it is so powerful to look at, care for, and share your fragility with others. These days I swing from, “maybe I am going to be okay?” to, “this might just be the things that destroys the very brittle strands that are holding me together.” Thank you for sharing, making me feel less irreparably broken, and giving me some inspiration for better care of myself.
I can identify with so much of this. My go to for watching are vet shows and reno shows (although I'm pretty picky about which ones) - there are problems, they get fixed - everything is a disaster, it gets cleaned up and made better - over and over again. I must also say that I am very heartened by the comments here. They've given me a bit of a lift on a day when I needed it. Your vulnerability creates space, and I am grateful for it.
I have recently been exploring somatic exercise. I've come out of the very simple sessions with a great sense of peace. That, and of course, watching episodes of All Creatures Great and Small on PBS. Take care.
I’m so glad you are taking deep care of yourself and your nervous system. So few us remember how fundamental that is, myself included. And I want to watch Pokemon Concierge! Your last piece was beautiful (I’m not even sure that’s appropriate to say given the subject matter--please forgive me if not) and haunting. Thank you.
Speaking of nice paper, your Collected Schizophrenias book is really nicely made. I flip the thick, nice smelling page and think "is this just one page?" 😂
I hope the out of whack ness fades soon and you feel better! Been there. I like watching videos without words on YouTube when I feel that way, like trains and bush crafting lol.
Sending you so much calming love❣️❣️❣️. My autonomic nervous system has been wildly dysregulated for the past couple of weeks- temperature, blood pressure etc and a very dull mind. It helps me to remember we are never alone in this, others suffer similarly y I wish us all a soothing restful night. 💜💜💜
Thank you for being so naked(and yet adorned). I calm myself with meditation, nature, and my cats are very attentive, sometimes noticing my sadness or shock before me. Music is very helpful, but it has to be the right message and vibration-definitely. Breathe. Bless you.

I love Father Brown too. I love the sets, and you are right, it is so calming.

So much love to you.
I hope you are able to feel more like yourself soon. From one discombobulated person to another, I feel you.
So much I relate to...my years of unbearable suffering due to mental illness. Needing grounding. I just wanted to say too that I love your hair!
Mental illness is really a bear, isn't it? And thank you re: the hair!
I hope you feel better and please look after yourself! Until then Pokemon Concierge sounds adorable, so thank you.
If you end up watching it—enjoy! It’s so sweet.
Hang in there, hang in there, hang in there.

Your hair is fantastic!

Haha! That makes me really happy. Do you have the US version or the UK version or another one entirely?
US version 🥰

Yes yes yes. Exactly!
Big hug! xo
Sounds like you are taking your healing into your own hands and moving slowly through it. Wishing you well as you get your equilibrium back. 💕
