    Chat, check-in, and hang out

    Very relieved to have time off this week to swim and organize. Plus honestly just sitting quietly eating toast and cheese with my daughter after she got home from work, was so perfect.

    My Diaries by FreeSoul

    Just wanted to send thoughts of care your way. I think it is always brave to share one's stories. I also struggle reading books anymore, but I used to love it as a kid. What about books on tape? I used to never even use YouTube much before about a year ago, but it's helped cheer me up a ton...

    Every night I wake at 3am

    I second what someone said about this time frame being a hardcoded circadian rhythm. On one of the many mornings I would wake too soon, I read an article about how we used to have different sleep patterns until electricity was invented. Knowing that of course didn't help me sleep! Melatonin...

    Caregiver Burnout

    Bless your heart for the work you do and kudos for recognizing what you needed to do! That can be really hard. When my dad had dementia and I was his caretaker, he didn't remember me. It was achingly hard, but knowing he was not being neglected like the place did where we pulled him out of...

    Covid/Lockdown accomplishments, have you used the time to your advantage?

    Right on! I started cutting mine slightly pre pandemic, could only find 1 out of 10 stylists that cut it right anyway. Have had at least a few very embarrassing undercut/bad fades I did before I got better cutting equipment and more experience watching videos and just figuring out WHAT I...

    Can a person with PTSD get drunk? Would it cause a panic attack?

    Like others have said, yes. Did you ever get drunk before you had PTSD? Everyone responds different some throw sandwiches at the wall, but I will blackout and unknowingly still be texting friends but veering off into details about past trauma's, or wake up even sicker because of reading a...

    Horses! Who are my horse-loving friends?

    Love to hear that they help you so much! I take any chance I can get to ride horses, which isn't all that often. Some family now have horses, so whenever I visit I love to make sure to at least say hello and pet them a minute, it is just SUCH a boost for the soul.

    How do you face things that make you feel everything?

    Kind of the same way that I approach cleaning a huge mess. I focus on JUST putting away socks. Then ONLY putting away jeans. If I break it down into little compartments (With my favorite music blasting) it works. Setting aside a huge chunk of time where I am not expected to be anywhere...

    How can I move forward?

    This is such a tough thing to process. We need our partners to protect us from that behavior you described. It is a crime to grope someone without their consent I thought. Truly hope your husband will come to the recognition of what he needs to do, to make you feel safe.
