beachlassOk, you know how I said that my dog didn't like the movie 300?
She's now sitting on her pillow barking again. What's playing on the tv? Gladiator. Apparently Russell Crowe in Master and Commander meets her approval, but she's really unimpressed with this.
I have been curled up watching movies and reading fanfic as much as possible the last few days. It's dissociating behaviour for me -usually an indication that stresses have built up enough that I need some time out. Nothing major, I think, mostly that the last month was too busy, and work too filled with grief.
I feel like I'm decompressing a bit - like a diver slowly surfacing from the depths. It takes some time to release, to slowly pick up the healthy habits and routines with which I shore up my mental health. But, I remind myself that dissociating is a tool too - one that buys me some time, takes my mind away, and that a few days of reading isn't the worst behaviour.
