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 got around 6 hours so not too bad. Would have preferred 7-9. Maybe tonight.
Went to Chinese acupuncture this morning was quite pleasant. Planted a few cuttings.
Made a decision to get solar battery.
Got some more seeds in post this morning. Will sow over next week or so.

I didn’t plant anything today. Did a tiny bit of weeding. Got veggie seeds - lettuce, silverbeet, capsicum, mustard and a couple of other veggies can’t remember what ha ha. @creative_writer .
Yes started sleeping better hopefully this continues.

@creative_writer I love gardening in Spring and Autumn. The weather is perfect.
I have had nights without any sleep. They really suck.
Hope you can chill out listening to music. I’m watching TV. Need to do exercises this evening.

I am here with you @creative_writer
i find gardening relaxing and the exercise is good for me. Can only do a couple of hours atm because my back complains then I need a break. Will do weeding over weekend if my gardener doesn’t do it all tomorrow when he comes. Then I’ll sow seeds.
