What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

My mind. There’s so many scenarios on how my mind may react or act or if I’m approaching a situation mindfully or emotionally. I even store the expectations of others I have, in my mind. Ruminating feels in similar to scrambling eggs. Triggers will put my mind into fight, flight or freeze mode. Then there’s being over sensitized. Brights lights, loud music, chaotic energy all amplified and then your mind says “too much”, and then it’s a meltdown. Complete loss of control. After that your mind is tired and thinking thought’s of embarrassment, shame and remorse for the uncontrollable pain that you have caused on others. So. even though I struggle with PTSD and being on the autistic spectrum along with somatic processing disorder, i can say with confidence that I still use my mind, some days I may feel like I’ve lost it (thinking to myself). Other days I can get everything done on my to do list. Some days I just can’t keep focused on one thing. No matter what though, I still use it so, I have not yet lost it!
