    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    Last night's sleep was typical, tossing and turning, bad dreams and having to get up for a while to do something to use up the excessive energy the dream left me with. I typed in my journal to settle my mind a bit and that helped, then got up and folded laundry. I went back to sleep and got 2...

    Sorry to hear you have disturbed sleep also. I know the feeling of not being able to just roll over and go back to sleep, gotta get calmer...and yes, it does make the next day tiring. If I nap, I ruin the next night's sleep. Earbuds! Great idea! Hoping you find calmness soon and pleasant dreams!

    2:50am, what a time to wake up! I wish dreaming was optional! I know things have been on my mind a lot lately because I had to share my accident information with someone I may be spending the rest of my life with and it wouldn't be fair not to tell him. I had a lot of anxiety preparing to tell...

    Today is another beautiful day! It's actually a headache day, but I'm going to make it beautiful anyway, doggonnit! The below freezing temperatures wake up pain in my head where it had been fractured severely and radiates to my eye. Nothing new, just winter life. I don't use medication, I'm...

    Anticipating lockdowns and mental health symptom spikes

    It's ironic that I've spent the last 25 years only leaving my house once a month to get groceries and pick up the mail. Now that my special friend and I have become very close and have started going out together and having fun, being locked down isn't voluntary for me anymore. I had got used to...

    Alcohol, weed and PTSD - a report from a horror evening

    You were a good friend to her and were there for her when she needed help most. The down side is it took a toll on you, as it would most people. I hope in the future, she'll remember it wasn't a good idea to use those things and avoid feeling miserable. It's hard to take care of yourself and...

    Making progress After my mom passed away, I had many boxes of papers and photos to sort. Back then, paper photos were still popular, some I kept, some I didn't. While I was in the hospital after the accident, I wasn't able to eat food for a couple of months. I got my nutrition through a tube...
