I had a migraine triggered yesterday from barely sleeping and still recovering from it. I slept better last night, mind still feels very foggy. This morning I felt discomfort in my body, my mind went to when I used to feel it years ago. Then I noticed myself feeling distant, sort of floaty. I hope I can get through the day today with uni

I get flashbacks too @creative_writer they do take a lot out of you. I always feel so tired afterwards.
I haven't been up to much today. Went to the bank and got some blood tests done. Besides that been at home.

Can understand that @creative_writer It's hard when they take over our lives.
Not much planned for the weekend. Thinking of going to the local market tomorrow morning.

Oh @creative_writer ,
Speak to your vulnerable, younger self. How would you speak to someone who has been through what you have?
Compassion compassion compassion.
Please don't be so hard on yourself.

I'm wondering if focussing so much on 'Have I gone backwards?' might make you miss what's happening for you now?
@creative_writer , you have so much in you. You have a huge heart and such a passion for helping others.
I hear how hard it is for you at the moment, and yes, it certainly was not your fault. Please don't even let your mind tell you that you deserved it or it was your fault.
Allow yourself to heal. Give yourself the permission to feel satisfaction in life.
You deserve it.
