Big hugs to those who want/need one.

In 24 hours I am having the injection in my neck. I’m getting excited as I have hope this injection will shut down my PTSD hyper-vigilance thus calm me down. Then I will remain IP for observation. If all goes as planned I will be discharged this week. Yey!

This morning my parents took me to the beach. An early morning swim in the ocean is the best way to start the day. It was a brief swim as my hip is still healing. So refreshing and revitalising.

Last night my mood dropped but not too badly. I think it was grief from seeing my parents all day (long story related to childhood trauma). It is getting easier to around them which is great because my Mum is my best friend. It hurts to have the horrors of my past affect my relationship with my Mum. My T is helping me sort through this so the strength of my relationship with my Mum and Dad can be restored.

C’mon brain. It’s time to leave the past behind and focus forwards while living in the present moment. I am safe and in control of my life now.
