Yesterday was kind of a blah day other than a phone call with my VA therapist. I will get to that call a little later in the post. After being up most of the night (insomnia sucks), I sucked down some coffee, read a little, watched some news and took my shower.
Something about a good shower is really refreshing and makes you feel new again. I went for another cup of coffee but realized I had already finished a pot. I figured that was enough for me for the day and brewed a fresh one for the wifey for when she awoke.
I then took some advice of one of my SGS friends @kerrislravenhill and used some patience in my online coin shopping for the morning. I found nothing that met what I was looking for, didn't settle for less this time, so closed up the browser tab and let it be.
From then on I spent some time on Hive reading through some posts, commenting and voting. I finsihed up my post and published it, then took a nap. By the time I woke up it was around 0600.
The rest of the day is a bit of a blur until my phone call with the therapist. It was a very productive one. We discussed the Body Keeps the Score book and how I have been doing the exercises in the workbook.
We discussed some of the questions I have about the trauma, and the exercises. We talked about next steps and will meet again in person later in March to discuss even more. Overall I was very happy with the discussion and the outcome. We did agree that is is in my best interest to get more active.
We especially discussed how it is very important to get active when I start experiencing thoughts of the trauma to release some of the adrenaline that builds up. So the plan is to get on my walking pad for some short walks when I start having thoughts of it in the future (like right now after this post).
Just that phone call made the day a successful one for me and I am so looking forward to our meeting in March.
Later in the evening I was able to get back online for an auction, found a nice coin and won it it. Of course I will share when it arrives.
I finally was able to get a good night sleep last night and now sitting here with a very strong cup of coffee writing writing this post, boring you with random memories of yesterday.
What was your day like yesterday? Hope it was good, if so share what was good about it in the comments. If it was shit, share wwhat was shit about it.
Thanks for reading,
Joe
