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

Watching women’s footy. @creative_writer Putting heat pad on my neck and back. Trying to relax. Overtired. Had a few chores to do today finished now. Will have an easy dinner and go to bed early again. Just trying to chill out. Went for a wander round the garden, weeded a pot. Nice day here today.

I walked this morning before it got too warm for me. I’m hot with heat pad on my back in this weather.

I went to the shop and post office @creative_writer . Can’t walk far because it hurts my back but I try because it is good for my back to move around.
