The nap was a bad idea, but I guess I needed it.

Grounding myself with the cat, though I'm floating away.

Writing here helps, sorry for dumping a lot :/

Donโ€™t be sorry. Iโ€™m not sure the affordability or availability (or quality) of counseling these days, but I hear good things about EMDR?

Iโ€™m sorry youโ€™re going through this. Let Mickey be a comforting friend

Emde is a therapy I would like to try - mostly just finances and the fear of retelling and reliving it that freaks me out.

I'll be okay, I always am in the end. Thank you Melb, just for being your amazing self ๐Ÿ’œ

Itโ€™s ok. I suggested EMDR because apparently it doesnโ€™t always require you to discuss the events.

But itโ€™s 100% your call as nothing is perfect for everyone, you gotta be ready and finances are a massive consideration
