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

Glad to hear you’re not too bad. @creative_writer
I walked up the shop. Checked my emails then went into the garden. Planted 3 native plants and did some pruning. Having a break now to get off my feet for a little while. It’s not raining yet. It rained overnight.
So checking my email. If I can muster the energy I’ll pour boiling water on some weeds.Will put my indoor plants out to catch some rain.

@creative_writer I was happy to garden this morning. But now the rain is steady and we have some thunder.
i had leftover bolignese for lunch.Will have for dinner too. Was thinking of having Chinese take away but not going out in the rain. It is very dark here too. Maybe I’ll have Chinese tomorrow night. Still have some bolognese left might make it into shepherd’s pie.
