Ok so I had a stupidly stressful day. Now I’m trying to unwind from it. If I don’t it may bleed into the night and that’s the last thing I need.
I have exercised, meditated and soon will journal. I have a gp appointment tomorrow to get a care plan to see a psychologist but tbh I know this is a stressor as well…asking for help.
I would appreciate some kind words and advice thanks in advance

Sorry for my late reply. I'm so glad you've been sleeping better, its so important that we are able to function and treat our bodies with kindness.
I'm glad your appointment went so well! How are you feeling about the care plan yourself and your GP discussed?

Recovery can be a lengthy process, but I'm so happy you're making progress ❤️

Another better night sleep. The plan is to have some psychologist visits and yes I am happy with the plan.
@Xibon I am a bit impatient to progress but as you say it is not an overnight fix 👍
