Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

@saltandpepper that would be ideal!
@saltandpepper wrote:Yeah I still remember the look on my therapists face when I first told him about the kind of nightmares I have. I don't get the graphic ones as frequently anymore, not since being in therapy. I just don't sleep well regardless, brain never switches off, or I'm too jumpy to settle. Would be nice if it were different but I'm pretty well used to it now.
I'm sorry this is the case. I've heard that it's the case with trauma 😞 I'm glad the graphic nightmares have eased a bit since therapy.
Good luck with getting your tattoo today...
