I went on a long hike this morning and yelled my frustrations out. I probably sounded like a crazy person but it felt damm good. I started reading in this workbook about trauma just some of the intro today. Then made a sorta plan for how to go through it. Giving myself space and time during and after working on it. I made a list of things that help me relax and destress in times of high anxiety/stress. I feel overwhelmed by everything and am trying to find ways to make things a bit easier. Iāve been told I need to be more compassionate on myself so Iām adding that to my list of things to try to work on. Iām going to slow down over the summerā¦take more time for myself try to be kinder to myself.
And Iāve decided to postpone my work trip which will set me back on my salary a bit but Iāll sell a few sheep to make up the difference so I wonāt get money worries. Iāll still have my translation project to work on but just donāt feel up for a trip yet.
So thatās been my dayā¦trying to come up with some sort of plan on how to work through my traumas instead of shoving them down.

Thank you! At ease for sure. It will take time to heal up the trauma and stuff behind the drinking. Iāve had a lot of exposure to people from the past over the past couple of weeks. Too much! Can step off now. Need peace more

1376 days no alcohol.
841 days no cocaine.
356 days no vape.
1 day no binge-eating.
Yesterday my 50kg of gluten-free instant oats arrived. It was half price this week, so I took advantage of the offer. The only thing is, upon reading the āsuggested useā, it is meant to be mixed with cold water or milk and drank like a protein shake 
I have found a way to make it more like porridge, so nevermind. This will hopefully keep me back on track with no binge-eating.
I managed to finish the audiobook today, within minutes of it becoming unavailable, I had to listen at 1.5x speed. I also read a chapter of the book Iām reading.
I have been feeling unwell and very fatigued, Iāve been thinking it was just the depression, but I decided to test my urine this morning, and there was a lot of glucose in it, and I havenāt even had much sugar. So I called my GP surgery and told them, I also said Iād seen my latest blood test results with the high HbA1c result, and I said the diabetes nurse hadnāt called me to discuss. Then she said the diabetes nurse was planning to call me on the 28th! But she said sheāll get someone else to call me today, so Iām just hoping I have signal when the call comes through.

i do hope you have a signal when the nurse calls. Hoping you can get to the bottom of this and start feeling better. Smart to be proactive and test your urine today. Sending you energy and healing vibes.

I work for a big mental health institution. The job Iāve applied for is with the same employer but a different branch. Iām in addiction care now, what Iād like to do is in treatment of people diagnosed with personality disorders. Like me. What exactly the job is, is a bit complicated to explain for me. Should I be hired there Iāll try to explain.

Have you ever heard of anti abuse? I have a script thats lasted for a long long time. I use it as a once in a while back up plan, I will take one if I go somewhere where alcohol is served. Itās not for everyone, but I found in the past it was a nice safeguard while I got comfortable in those environments.
Just thought I would mention it.
Enjoy your night out and all the best.
