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 fell asleep during footy @creative_writer . Missed half the game but my team lost anyway. Oh well never mind.
Feel better for the nap. Will now be able to drive to shop and to get Chinese takeaway.
Will park in street at both so get a bit of a walk. Would walk but it is humid here today. I don’t like humidity. So don’t won’t to walk too far.
So sorry to hear you are exhausted and down. Wish I could help with that.
