Only one problem: I don't really sew or have a machine, but....
I have gotten a good tip about it and think I'll buy one of the inexpensive like $60 machines next week. I'm going to get the fabric today so at least I'll have the swatches- I think tactile, soft things are best when I am triggered. I get so scared that words and such don't sink in too well: my therapist thinks it'll be good to switch from left brain to right brain by having this creative, symbolic, cozy item to focus on, I'm excited to start! If I can make a quilt, I'll be proud of myself.

Get a good seam ripper! I sew, or have, and let me tell you they are helpful to have if you have to rip stitches out. I think it is almost a given at one time or another you'll need to use one.

I love to feel things. I think this is a great project for you! Good luck. :)

Going to the doctors today. Getting tests done.

Good luck at the doctors, Ms. Spock!

I might actually be taking an "easy" day today. At home.

I just got a huge rush (very dizzy now) from daring myself to take a package (left at my door) to the right apartment, 2 flights down, while no one else is home. 0_o But I DID it!!! In a jacket and PJs!

 

[Definitely..maybe]

Have been having some really rough days, but big changes are coming up for me so I'm going to keep moving forward as best I can!

 

[ms spock]

Got tests done. Some more to come. Will have completed them by the end of the week.

 

[ms spock]

Now off to do some exercise.

Good luck at the doctors!

@britt Already got a call back for a biopsy which is good because it is probably nothing and if it is something then it will be a small to deal with.

 

[ms spock]

I did really well under very difficult circumstances today. I went for some medical tests this morning and got the call back for the biopsy this afternoon. The panic, fear, anxiety, SI etc were threatening to overwhelm me but I fought against it and managed to bring myself back down. I can't do it at home so well yet. But I went to a cafe and sat reading whilst people were around me. I brought myself back. I calmed myself down. I did well. Managed the whole biopsy thing well as well. Came home went on the internet. Went for a Dip in the Ocean. Talked to a friend and tried to help her out. Ate boiled eggs for dinner.

Wow, great job Ms. Spock! I'm so impressed! Medical tests are so difficult.

@Ms Spock You have a great attitude. I've had a call back, but just for another scan. Doesn't help that I have Sarcoidosis in my lungs and a defibrillator with wires. Makes getting a scan a little problematic. Especially the defibrillator. This last year my scan was fine. I hope that they find the same for you and that everything is benign.
