I've been sleeping better, though that's mostly because I do shiftwork and this is my off week. Girlfriend is back and home and I've been pretty much just wandering around in Zelda foraging for food and assaulting wildlife. It's really helping me relax and unwind.

Making a point to get out is also important. My therapist asked me what "relaxing" means to me, and I said a hot cup of coffee, a game, and nothing else to do for the rest of the day... with the emphasis on that last one. I've found that if I have something I have to do later - even if it's something I want to do - it'll be all I can focus on and then I can't relax. As a result, I tend to do more early in the day rather than later. That said, I did go out to a concert last night and it went pretty much how my excursions tend to: really anxious on the way there, settled down once I got there, and on the way back it was like nothing had happened.

I ordered a case of CBT Tea that should be in tomorrow, but this week I've been trying the coffee. It tastes all right, but it's still a little too early to tell how well it's working with me overall. I may just go back to my regular coffee and stick to the tea or maybe try oil again for CBD. Not really sure at the moment.

That's a pretty good quote about feelings, too. They are like visitors... just those really annoying visitors who make themselves a little too much at home and won't take a hint about when it's time to leave :P

So yeah, I'm doing much better and I hope you're doing well too. How's your husband doing?
