@Wander: I hope your procedure goes well and that you're not too thirsty. Very interesting, your injection. Hope it works as well as last time. PTSD is so grim.

@wildflowerchild25: Glad you are trying to forget about the past even tho it continues to bother you. I think of my past too often also. Grats on the weight loss! You are doing awesome!

@Pookyl: Glad you found a competent psychologist who is willing to work collaboratively with you. I've given up trying to find someone competent. You're lucky.

@Jennifer 1967: The news can be overwhelming. It's good to take breaks. I haven't watched all weekend and i haven't missed it. Our local weekday evening newscasts are much better anyways. The female anchor cried on-air last week when they did a tribute to a fallen member of their team. It was charming, especially how loving she seemed and how refreshed she was after.

In my other news today, i got a slow start on a rainy day. We were under a tornado watch for a few hours. Thunder scares my dog. She goes under the table and pokes her head out at me, so cute! I had lots of nice games of Scrabble today, really enjoying the new non-competitive method i've switched to. I like to take my time. I got my second-highest play ever at 149. I won't write the word because it is a bit upsetting and i don't want to trigger anyone. I felt miserable but perked up in the evening. Tomorrow's supposed to be nice and dry and comfortable so it'll probably be a better day.

Hugs to all who struggle!
