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

I slept deeply but only for 5 1/2 hours will try to go back to sleep in a little while.
Good luck with your battles. @creative_writer

I’m tired but got lots of chores done. Went for a walk. Had lamb rack and veggies roast for lunch. I’m ok. Tired. Read a gardening magazine while cleaner is here doing a Spring clean. @creative_writer
How are you today?

Sorry to hear you are feeling disconnected. @creative_writer
Sounds like you got a few things done though. Laundry - this late in the day? I always do mine in the morning. I’ll have to do some soon.
I didn’t get to the gardening just too tired oh well I’ll do it tomorrow morning after I go for a walk. I did water some plants though.
No other chores to do tomorrow I hope. Will watch women’s footy in the afternoon.
