My Obsession(s)

[Rachie]

I have been at a bit of a lose end having completed some projects and experiencing quite a change of life over the last couple of years. I always find coming down from projects a bit challenging. However, I have always had an interest in drama as well since a young child and although it will be challenging I have enrolled in a course just for fun, where a previous consultant suggested for me where I took a summer course in aromatherapy which I enjoyed. I have had a long interest also in aromatherapy. The drama course is to get me out and it is just for fun. I am a bit reserved etc but I will try and give it a go. There are so many courses going out there as well.

I went into specialised inpatient for one of my comorb conditions at 21. I had odemea which I found distressing and an OT did a aromatherapy massage on me using essential oils. It really worked for me. I got up several times in the night to pass fluid. This really helped with my feelings of distress. This continued for me in further with getting OT massages with essential oils. I did a summer course as well and started buying on offer to help try and rest more. I was trying to manage health issues in an alternative way as well. Sometimes I go just too far and the oils can make feel quite unwell as they can be too strong. I have an aromatherapy burner. Amazon is easy to order from as well. I feel quite hypontised when I use Frankinese Chamomile Blue and Lavender at night in a burner. I kept some to promote well being, but I have streamlined buying oils today. Sometimes I just cannot bare being touched as well by anyone.

Just got quite a large delivery from Holland and Barrett. Really good deals. Free delivery. Further twenty percent off it was and some of there standard sales.

My aromatherapy selection does not look like that anymore. I still buy oils though. I am trying to find the right oil to use for relaxation. I found out that some I had hypnotised me as well at night. Then I had to set out to get one that can relax me but not hypnotise me. Now i have to distinguish between Rose oils lol. The Moroccan rose oil really helps to sleep and it smells so nice. Some of them the smell can make feel off so I have to turn them of. Even Lavender I am finding hard to tolerate now.
So It is Rose
Captivating rose and Moroccan rose all by the same company Dr Botanicals. I have tried Rose Otto before as well, but it is too expensive now. This makes me to smile and laugh. The Moroccan Rose is hard to find as I bought one years ago and had to get it of Ebay and the Rose is of some age as well.

I think I like "obsession" even less than "special interest", because it pathologizes, and pathology is often used as a fine excuse to force things on people. It's always been computers with me. They are an elaborate and potentially productive way of talking to yourself when nobody else will.

The other thing, is that programming is my personal form of philosophical carpentry. Programming is an elaborate form of talking to myself, but then the laws of logic are telling me whether I'm doing well, or poorly, and that is building character and a sense of correctness for accomplishing goals and creativity. It's a very long-distance phone call to a teacher on the topic of rudimentary morality, but I guess being a reject is the motivation it takes to make long-distance calls.

To conclude my little testing above, I am going to say Capativating rose has certainly lived up to its name. It managed to relax me and allow to sleep quite deeply and without hyponitising me and this is available to buy now and not discontinued.
I use it with my aromatherapy burner
I got mine from Amazon at such a deal for the first purchase I went with 2.
it seems to be out of stock, but may be somewhere else I am sure there is. I just not going to put the link eleswhere

Basically I am recommending the oil above to anyone who struggles with their sleeping and does not wish to be hypontised. I bought mine for £7.90 each on Amazon. They usually sell for about £40. I used to go TKMaxx and buy cheap things like heavily discounted, the price on the label was RRP £40. Hard to get these days.
But it seems it could about to be discontinued at least for a reasonable price. I went to go and buy 2 more but paid just under £15 each on Superdrug but it was worth it to me. Now I have 4 and if it is discontinued I have enough for a while. The description on Amazon I found really quite accurate.

First time posting:
As a special interest, I am *super* into Godzilla, kaiju and monsters in general. I mainly just try to find any fictional monster I haven't come across yet throughout all sorts of media. It's fun.
But the Godzilla franchise has been a major mainstay in like, my thoughts and my brain.

I think I am ready to walk away from this one now. I started writing about my journey with my faith in September 2022 and have paused a lot in that time, but I finally turned it into an Ebook. It is not as exaxtly I would like it, but it is free. It si on my Christian faith btw. I don't expect any comments. as this is not the forum for it. Religion has been an interest of mine since a teenager. I wouldn't say mine was a typical story at all.

This is the Ebook
