For reference: I really am a freak (lol) and I have a lot of black clothes (well... ALL black clothes) and a lot of them have red on them and I have black and red bracelets and black and red fingerless wrist warmers.

Husband suggested I take a black marker to the discolored spots on the buttons on my new winter coat.

Having another lazy day. Really need to get my booty in gear and get in the shower and clean the apartment. Say no... TO FLEAS!!! Little bastards. I think we're winning the war. I haven't gotten a flea bite in days. Yay!

Ended up texting my mom back. Sigh. Sent her a picture of daughter and I together, then a pic of all three of us, then a pic of just Husband and I with 💕. She hates my husband. I'm sure that pissed her off. She hasn't responded. She didn't ask how he was doing. Just Daughter and I.

The picture is really funny though because Daughter is so much taller than me (she's 5'5" already and I'm just barely 5'3").

Not inviting my parents over for Daughter's 13th birthday on Thursday. They trigger me so much. I have complete shut down whenever I'm with them, and my mom and Husband's mom would NOT get along. I've disowned myself. I'm sure my parents are blaming everything on my husband, but it's me. I don't want to see them. You trash my husband, the love of my life, the one who has stood by me through everything miraculously enough, my best friend, the father of my child..... FUKK YOU.
Good on you for not inviting your parents over. The whole "blood is thicker than water" bs is, well, bs.

I'd go for the FREAK beanie myself, by the way (that's really the main thing I wanted to say but I didn't want to quote your whole post to say only that )

Lol.

You should get that hoodie, but only if it's black.

🥰

Still haven't done anything. Complete lack of motivation today. My mom texted me back. Said we should get together sometime. I archived it without responding. DO NOT want to see her. She really fukked me up big time.

TW: at this point I'm putting any election-related politics in a box
Possible trigger:


I'm kinda wondering if I'm starting to head up or if I'm just adapting to meds and fall and whatnot. I was sleeping an average of 9 hours (although broken, filled with nightmares, and not restful), but over the past few days it's been decreasing a wee bit each night. Last night I got about 6 and I have more energy than when I was sleeping 9. Waking up before the alarm. I spent two hours going through free calc lessons I've found online (I remember a lot which is weird because my last calc course was almost ten years ago of course haven't used since because it's calc and I'm not a STEM employee. Yet I don't remember what I was supposed to be doing right now. I know it's prepping for whatever my mom really wanted for dinner, and she's peeling potatoes, but I know if I ask her anything without tip toeing I'm going to get yelled at for not knowing/remembering and right now I just don't feel like I can account for tact in oral communication right now.). I also went to the library earlier and took out A Tree Grows in Brooklyn as per my IP NP's recommendation. I know it's kind of a "must read/watch" book/movie, but I have never read nor seen it. I had no clue what it was about but I read the back of it and I'm starting to notice patterns in these books she recommended me Cyborg that develops trauma, half Native American being shunned everywhere she go and seeing shyt go down, and now this crap. (It's not crap, I've enjoyed everything she's had me read so far, but I hate that her recommendations have sorta this theme).

I'll probably post later but I think even now I'm getting the anger for not doing anything so...

Thanks 😊 lol

I wish I could show pictures of the beanies on here. I want them both! I showed pictures to Daughter and she said I should go with the cat one. I'm going to text some more peoples and see what they think.

I feel pretty good today. I'm tired though. I'm gonna let myself sleep in tomorrow because I have nothing going on tomorrow. I need to clean but that's it really. And that shouldn't take longer than an hour and a half, 2 hours tops. I need to start getting back on the treadmill. I took like a week or so off it because I wasn't sleeping and wasn't doing well mentally. But I'm doing better now and ready to get back to it. Also gotta start practicing violin again. I'm taking a few months off lessons. Resuming them in February. I need the next couple months to catch back up on my practice.

Friday I have a therapy appointment and we're gonna do more EMDR I guess. Saturday I'm walking down to that Italian bakery/cafe and treating myself to a caramel macchiato with the leftover money on that gift card I won.

I need to buy a Christmas tree soon. And new shoes. I've had my current sneakers over a year now. Definitely need some new ones these are getting really worn out because I walk everywhere for the most part.

I wonder if I need an ultrasound. This **** isnt getting better and I've heard ultrasounds show different things then endoscopys. I don't get how this much pain and other stuff is normal. I'm starting to get my 3rd migraine this week.

Now I have these like really bad stomach pains.
Possible trigger:


Idk. Maybe its just nerves about the anniversary of October 7th and the new hurricane.

Finally caved and took a prn hydroxyzine which helped my thoughts calm enough that I could finally settle down to read. Thank God. I need to try not to have coffee in the the morning or to drink the decaf stuff. But it's hard.

I told my friend I have a friend with benefits earlier and now he’s not responding to me. Eh probably my imagination as he’s married.

I've noticed that a no reply can also mean an acknowledgement.

Sometimes things are so clear or blunt that there isn't really much to reply to. Sometimes I say that when I watch horror movies too, when someone yells "helloooo??", like, what did you expect 🤣

Yeah. I asked one of my friends who is also a cat lover, and she told me to go with the cat one. Lol. Husband said both, which isn't very helpful. Maybe I will just get both, though I really don't NEED two winter hats.

I hate making such decisions!!! Fukk!!

The cat one IS super cute though.

@raspberrytorte if it helps....another vote for the cat hat. Which is probably not surprising since I'll talk about my Abbycat to anyone who will listen so I'm sure she's come up on here a time or two

Things have been really crazy, and now I am not sleeping and getting headaches. Cutting my best friend out of my life hurt A LOT more than I thought it would. I have such bad anger issues, and I do lash out at people if I feel I was wronged - have done it in the past and lost good friends because of it too, you would think I would learn. *Shrugs* Anyway, it is affecting me a lot, my heart feels broken, even though she is the one who wronged me, but I feel I should have handled it better.

Yesterday was completely nuts. Went to work in Raleigh, then checked into a hotel downtown, (it was so nice but I didn't get to enjoy it because I was hardly there) - I stayed overnight because my friend was getting an award for her service work in recovery and helping women in the justice system - I was there to support her and got her a gift - It was a big banquet/benefit/fundraiser - pretty fancy, but I was feeling unsatisfied and very on edge. I don't like driving at night especially downtown, it feels too much like Manhattan, and what do you know, a crazy driver almost hit me not once but TWICE! It was Saturday night so I am figuring some kind of impairment was involved, but scary, nonetheless. Had to have my wits about me and practice all that defensive driving I learned from living among all those crazy drivers in NYC, lol.

I haven't been sleeping either. Every night I am being woken up at around 3-4am and can't go back to sleep, even with my CPAP. It's really bad. I need to do something, maybe have a conversation with my pdoc. Mood is up and down, but I think that's due to the lack of sleep.

@raspberrytorte - I am going to jump on the CAT HAT bandwagon - I think it would be so cute on you - @Blueberrybook - hydroxyzine does wonders for me with the racing thoughts, maybe you should take it a little more often if it helps, I am sorry that you've been struggling with it.

I really miss posting more often, but I haven't really been home the past two weekends - life is busy, which is a blessing, but sometimes I think I just need rest.

Big hugs to those who need one today.

Read the foreword and the first 7 pages, no reference to cream or coffee. If I'm capable of a few more pages and there's no coffee, it's gonna be a DNF

Really? No one else is voting for the FREAK hat?

I will say it was hard for me to pick a side on this one though. I still stand by it.

"Do you plead guilty?"
"No. Guilty would imply I've been assigned guilt. I haven't yet!"

I don't know if that's even related I feel so off right now, but it feels related and acknowledged

I'm almost wondering if I should call my team's emergency line because I feel so weird except I would definitely not be able to explain it verbally.
