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

Talking about it certainly opens the box @creative_writer i hate talking about that kinda stuff with my pdoc. Cause she opens the box, asks me lots of questions and really tries to challenge my beliefs and then abruptly ends the conversation and leaves me with gaping wounds. And then sends me on my way.

Oof @Bow that sounds hectic. Could be something worth talking to her about - that you might need more aftercare/time in session to get back into a more regulated state before it just ends and you're sent on your way with open emotional wounds.

Yeah that would probably be a good idea @Jynx although not overly confident that she would actually take notice of what I said.

@Bow then she's not listening to you or your needs. And if that's the case, you can express that too, because you deserve to have your needs not just respected, but attuned to (if that makes sense).

I’ve been feeling weak this afternoon. I feel like I need to talk to myself but can’t get myself to do it. I know there are people in my life who would be happy to listen, but I don’t want to burden them, so I’m just being silent

Hi @creative_writer sorry you are feeling this way.
Would it be helpful if you wrote it down, either on here or in a journal.
