Yeah, no kidding. I feel guilty because It’s not even noon and already 93 with a 104 heat index. Been reading and filling out DBT worksheets and the self-assessment I made (to share w/my pdoc because they always have everyone fill out a PHQ9 for pdoc appointments even though major depressive episodes are a teeny fraction of what I struggle with and even then half the questions can’t be accurately answered with number of days I experience that symptom (yeah, I wanted to hurt myself every day, some days it was constant and some days that thought came and went twice for not even two minutes), and I got frustrated so made my own assessment that asks about the same amount but more specific to my symptomology questions with the ability to answer either with a quantity or quality depending on the Q).

I took out this 315pg book yesterday and I have a feeling if I can tolerate being here at least until the sun isn’t crazy brutal (heat index is supposed to drop back to double digits around 8pm), I’m going to finish it today.
