What Are You Thinking?

[Friday]

Kommt gib mir deine hand

I am thinking about the effects of a certain herb, (not marijuana), that when smoked provides a feeling of general well-being and am wondering why it is not utilized as medicine for people with PTSD and panic disorder?

It seems to me that there may be an medicinal application for this type of herb when it comes to mental illness (psychological injury).

I am thinking of how the mild psychotropic affects of herbs/plants could be used as medicine, but until marijuana is widely accepted as medicine, I suppose there is little chance for other herbs to be included. Just pondering.

I am thinking about so many things right now and I am aware of all of them now. I have to change and learn and grow through my setbacks. I am thinking how much better I live when I am free of the depression.

How to make thoughts unjumble from 'Freshly out of f*cks to give' and make them line up. This thing, that thing, that other thing. Not a whole clusterf*ck of panic, one by one issue.

I'm thinking it's warm and beautiful and sunny outside and I want to take a walk. I'm thinking I'm disappointed that I can't. My back has been hurting more than it usually does for the past month and a half. And it's been so bad that for 3 days now I can hardly walk. The only way I'm able to get around is I've had to start using my cane again. Today is day 3 with the cane. It helps take pressure off but it doesn't stop the pain. So I can't go for a walk but I did something that was the best I could do.

I sat on the deck and appreciated the weather. And instead of going in the back door of the house I slowly and carefully walked on the concrete path along the side of the house and went around and went in the front door. I can either pout that I can't go for a walk the way I'd like or I can be glad I sat outside and then walked a bit to the front door. I'll choose the happier thoughts since I do have that choice.

I am thinking to have rest now.

 

[BlackbirdSinging]

I'm thinking I'm actually scared to go to sleep tonight. After the dreams I had last night and the way they made me feel all day today I really don't want to do that again. It's not the first time it's happened so I know it can happen again.

I am thinking about how lucky I am to have someone who really loves me.

I am thinking that if my doctor doesn't do something about my pain soon, and my psychiatrist doesn't administer something to help with anxiety....I am going to fire them both!!!

I am thinking I can get through this Christmas with little anxiety. I acknowledged the death of my childhood friend by donating a toy in his honor. That has helped, since the date of his death is coming up. I thing I can manage with the group to. We all get together on Christmas and it is pretty overwhelming. Though even my husbands father coming is giving me a little anxiety. Still I'm under better control then I have been in the past. Let's hope it keeps up.

It's flashbacks so it'd be super pointless to act on them. But damn.

I am thinking I don't have to react to everyone like they are my parents. I don't have to make people happy. I don't have to fix them. I don't have to fawn or freeze everyday.

 

[Let It Be]

I am thinking about how I don't know how to handle myself when the guy doing my occupational therapy just comes up to me and puts his hand on my back. Not used to that.

Yes, he has to touch my arm and shoulder that he is working on which I'm not used to either. Since I see him 3 times a week, I am thinking I hope to get to that place where I am comfortable with his touching me.
