I'm counting the days until my next therapy appt [View all]

Which is on Tuesday. I don't know what's triggered this, but I've been in red line anxiety mode since yesterday morning. This morning I just feel sad and weepy. Actually, this was one of my concerns about starting therapy - the cork popping out of the anxiety and bad memory bottle, so to speak. But I know the only way to heal is to get help with letting go.

I have one quick errand to run and then I'm going to take a hot, soapy, lavender intense shower, put on some very comfy clothes and work really hard on relaxing - something I've kind of forgotten how to do.

Of course the kitcats can be counted on to start some purr therapy. Arthur has not left my side, since yesterday morning.

OK, time to pull it all together so I don't scare anyone at Aldi.
