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 Glad to hear you are safe!
Hope you had a restful night.
I slept for 7 hours: That is great. I’m feeling much better.
Chinese acupuncture and massage worked wonders on my back. I think I’ll go back next week to get her to do a bit more work on my upper back which is still a bit tight.
I hope you have a better day today.

Glad to hear you are a bit better. @creative_writer
I’m ok because I slept for 7 hours again. Back and neck a bit achy today and had a headache earlier. Going back to acupuncture. Monday. Hungry going to start getting dinner.

@creative_writer I had a lamb chop with mashed potato and green beans. Nothing elaborate but tasty. Thinking of making a pizza tomorrow and thought I’d make some banana bread. See how it goes as I want to garden again. Also need to get some details for solar installers.
What did you have?

Oh @creative_writer very healthy. I’m allergic to coconut.
