oh no! is it Covid? May you feel better soon, regardless. *hug masked, socially distanced e-hug if you want one.
Thank you : ) I am not sure if it is/was Covid but since it gave me a sore throat, congestion, coughing, and deep fatigue, I figure yeah. I've been eating raw garlic, as well as oregano oil and pineapple parsley smoothies to drive it out of my system.

I feel terrible. I am back again to marinating in my outrage over the humiliation I received during my inpatient treatment (not really treatment, rather treated like a slave). I try to let it go, but it keeps coming back. Sometimes I will spend a matter of minutes trying to move past something, and it's back at me in under a second. I'm super angry, but I keep feeling like it must be my fault, because the hospital did nothing to make me whole, and yet somehow they still have a license. So now it's a combo of disgust, pain, anger, resentment, shame, and guilt.

I have done meditation to calm down, including a specific technique for letting strong emotions come through. That works for a few minutes and then something will remind me. I get all spun up again when the reminder comes. Really just want the hurting to stop. I'm even out of it to the point that I can't cognitively reach my values. I would throw away things that I value and future peace just to have an escape. Totally irrational in the long run, and probably more pain than it's worth in the short run. I feel like I can't do this anymore. The mistreatment has virtually bifurcated my adult life. Looking back, I have my childhood, then adult life before the event, and adult life after the event. I haven't found a way to move past this, and it hurts.
 
i've been nervous these days, found a perfect spring water product that is helping me with the psoriasis i get when i am miserable so i keep spraying that to get rid of it but it will come back if i don't calm down, so i have to keep trying to have something nice to look forward to, anything, so maybe i can skip the part where it comes back and i feel like it never left in the first place, and i try yet these self destructive thoughts are really, really trying to get in which gives me the craziest flashback to the time i went to Brazil for vacation and my skin was flawless, everyone kept complimenting the change. Maybe i should run away there.
 
im due to see the psychiatrist in June
I'm glad you've got an appointment. Do you feel like you'll be safe at least until you see the psychiatrist? Do you feel like you'll be able to be completely honest about how you're feeling?

i have a therapy session next week
Do you feel like therapy is helping, and that you're getting as many therapy session as you need?

Sad. I've had an awful day. After stabilising on amitriptyline months ago I've been on a steady 10mg dose and been highly functioning mostly. I decided to start trying to taper again, and cut to 6mg last weekend. I thought I was doing well, had a few wobbles, but yesterday my mood and energy really started crashing and am definitely experiencing withdrawals from the drop. I decided I wanted to switch off, take it easy, but then I started getting all these emails and people harassing me, like if i hadn't answered the email within 12 hours they were following up with calls and texts and WhatsAPPs - like leave me the fuck alone if I could reply right now I would, filling my queue with calls and messages isn't helping you get a quicker answer.... Then I decided to sack work and go to my running group, it was all going well, my sore calf was behaving, it was a lovely warm evening and I started to feel better when BOOM!! My left foot hit the ground, I felt this thudding shockwave, and then the back of my knee started to tighten up. I think it was going down some stairs. So instead of going for a drink in the sunshine with these lovely people I jogged home almost in tears and that's where I am now, 2 weeks to go till the race I've been training for, I did everything right, took the whole week off after my long run, took it fairly easy - and still got injured 😟😔😢
