I ended up falling back asleep thankfully after I did laundry. I really needed it. I eventually woke up at 9:30am. I got a surge protector for my Christmas tree which I’ve needed, so I have it lit up now.

Not much going on today. Just relaxing, yesterday in therapy kind of brought up some stuff that kind of gave me a hard time sleeping last night, I was kind of going over and reliving the past in my head till I finally fell asleep. Couldn’t manage to distract myself.

I’m working on coping skills though, we talked about grounding techniques. One thing I do is hold a ziplock bag filled with ice cubes in my hand or on my neck and that helps me when I’m panicking or dissociating.

Exercise helps too but I can’t seem to motivate myself to do it the past couple days. So I’m trying to focus on the digimon anime because that is lighthearted and makes me happy. I might draw or color or something. Work on improving my drawing, learning through art tutorials. Or play some ukulele. Just positive mindful distractions.
