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

That's tough @creative_writer . I know first hand how physical pain can affect one's mental health. There's such a fine line between resting up and having to keep yourself busy. Sounds like it's a real balancing act.

Fair enough. I hope you were okay with the training @creative_writer . Did you get to debrief after?

Well if you feel able to at any time, it's good to debrief with someone @creative_writer . By doing so, it helps them to be more mindful of not just you, but others who may get triggered too.
You did what you could to survive - good on you.
