I ended up taking an ambien and slept 5 hours. I feel better but the day is shot, so I got off track. Instead of being hard on myself or worrying, I'm watching a good movie. giving myself a break. There's a lot of passion/intense emotion in it and it's directed well, so it has my attention. Robert Redford is in it, I love him and the characters he plays. It's called "the Discovery". It's on Netflix.
I cooked some healthy foods for the next few days. Made several salads. Cooked salmon, broccoli and a sweet potato for dinner.
Have some things to do to get back on track. Wanted to work at least 4 hours today so I don't have to work 8 hours tomorrow. I hardly even get weekends, usually working 6 days a week, sometimes 7. I want to do get some work done after the movie so I don't procrastinate tomorrow when I wake up, spending needless worrying about getting work done as i am overwhelmed with stuff to do outside of work too.
It has been a little quiet in here. Maybe people are getting out in the nice weather and enjoying it. I hope so. I'm waiting for all the pollen to settle before being out too much.
Slipping off track but will get back on track soon hopefully. My hip is out of place right now so I can't go to the gym. I was doing stretches and it made it worse.
Well, I'm getting back to my movie. Just wanted to talk about getting back on track. It's quiet here, so I suppose I can encourage myself at the moment.
Hope you are doing ok Trace.

Hey there. I'm doing okay just a lot going on that's stressful. Just part of the dealing with CPTSD and all it's glory

I'm really proud of you for understanding that we do get off track, we do have bad days, and not to be hard on ourselves for those days. Love your idea about watching a good movie and just taking it easy. Love your positive attitude
Sorry about the hip. Are you going to have a replacement at some point? A friend of mine had one and she's doing well with it. There are still some things she can't do and she's constantly having to do stretches to keep the hip working right, but all in all she's doing good. We both get a good laugh when I tell her "there goes your pole dancing career"
