I’m good today @creative_writer . Had lunch and done dishes. Will go for another walk directly. Nice mild sunny day here today. Walked twice already. Back hurts when I walk but walking is good for back so I walk around the block. Walked around garden a couple of times too. Got a heat pack on neck atm.
Sorry to hear you feel awful. Hope you can get out of this slump. Sending virtual hugs.

Oh @creative_writer that sucks. Yes a shower might help. Hope you can get rid of trauma thoughts. What helps you to stop them?
I don’t push myself when I walk. Go slowly and don’t go far. Putting heat pad on back. I did my physio exercises this morning. Brought my washing in just now. Waiting for GP to call. Need referral ton psychiatrist. Not my usual GP. Hope he will do it.

GP rang 20 minutes early and did referral straight away @creative_writer so I’m happy with that. Was only 1 error because the changed dose to one med was not noted because I forgot to tell him, but that’s ok psychiatrist knows.
Wishing you all the best in your struggle against SI. Sitting with you.

Must be horrible for you @creative_writer . Hope you and your psych can work through the flashbacks. Depression really sucks. And most people don’t understand like my sister who thinks my MI is a weakness.
