Hi @AuntGlow. I hope you're feeling better today. Migraine's are horrible.
I don't even know where to start. Are you sure you want to know everything? Hahaha.
Umm...
On Saturday, I went and had coffee with a friend. It was my intention to share what's been going on for me - so that someone in my life knows. She has lived experience and is a safe person. It was beautiful we walked along the beach and talked and shared to a certain extent. Then, we had coffee at one of the cafes in the area. I left feeling like I'd shared, but had somehow managed to sugar coated things and only shared the surface stuff. So, I'm frustrated.
I also forgot the basics of self care and didn't eat or drink most of the day and ended up a bit spinny. I honestly can't believe I did that. I was so focused on having a conversation with a friend and on working out what to say in my head...the rest just went by the way side.
Yesterday, I was kinda spacey, and had to really focus my brain on tasks because it would keep drifting off and getting lost in other things. I intended to spend the day studying but I didn't have the mental capacity to focus. Later in the day my mood shifted and I crashed.
I've booked a GP appointment for a couple of weeks to get a MHCP and have been working through that with Jynx. I um...didn't realise how impacted I was by...experiences I've had and my fear. So I've been trying to work through that. I'm terribly anxious already about the appointment so I'm going to try and do some pre-planning.
Today, I've had a headache all day and it's getting worse as the afternoon wears on. It's been a busy day at work with lots of other staff sickness and no time to breathe. But, I seriously need to get some study done tonight and I have a SANE group thingymabob. I have a 2500 word literature review due on Sunday. I feel like it's going to be a long week.
I've been watching some of the Holistic Psychologist's videos on YouTube, but it's one of those things that I need to do in small doses.
I don't even know if that's everything...but it's somethings. I'm sure other things will come up as we chat...that is...if you want to chat.
