The recent medication changes has calmed my brain down. I’m still feeling caged up, I know my psych is looking at more frequent therapy sessions if we can get more under ED plan. Once a month sessions aren’t enough. It just feels like the traumatic memories aren’t ending, I’ve been in therapy for years. It’s taking so long to heal. I just want to get to the point the body flashbacks aren’t so regular

@creative_writer Yes each to their own. Yes I was pleased she ate her dinner. I can highly recommend getting a kitty. The footy is close so I’m still awake. Might sleep in tomorrow.

@creative_writer I’ve had my kitty for about 4 years. Had to clean her kitty litter this morning.
I didn’t sleep in. I managed to get in the shower this morning. Next goal is to go to chemist and shop.
Feeling miserable.

@creative_writer I made it to the chemist. Day is ok although as usual I was miserable when I first got up. Waiting for footy to come on to distract me and having a snack to keep me going. How are you going today?

@creative_writer Nothing else planned except the footy. Having a snack and a beer watching pre-game coverage. Will eat something after game and probably go to bed early as there is nothing on tv. I am feeling a bit lonely. If I can I’ll go to the local footy tomorrow. See how the weather is. Yes it is a process I think.

@creative_writer It is overcast here too in Adelaide and we had an evening shower. Don’t know what the forecast is for tomorrow. The local footy is on tv if it’s raining.
