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 I sometimes take fish oil capsules. Yes I hate late tradies. Oh how rude opening soap without asking. My roller shutters were supposed to be installed last week but they stuffed up the gear they needed to install them hope they get it right this time. I’m getting annoyed.

@creative_writer I’ve never had omega 3 recommended to me for my mental health. Yes very frustrating with roller shutters especially given I’ve already paid for them. Shame about the soap. I only have ordinary cheap soap and hand wash.
I had an hour long nap this afternoon. i’ll still sleep though. My program is on tonight hope I can stay awake to watch it.

Oh yes ecofriendly is good @creative_writer . My main worry with watching my program is falling asleep.

@creative_writer I fell asleep almost at the end drat. I have an organic garden. Try to use organic cleaning stuff. Plastic is a real problem isn’t it. I use Tupperware. Yes I’m awake early as usual but slept for nearly 6 hours. Will try to snooze.
