Today has been so stressful and not much has even been going on.
I really can't do this.

It is the time of the year @TheVorticon - I think we feel the pressure of the festive season even when we think we shouldn't. I hope you get the things done today that you want to. I have mowed both the front and back yards so my list is under way for today. I am hedaing off to the cricket in a couple of hours so need to get my butt moving to do the other things I need to do. I was hoping to cut Toby's hair so he looks gorgeous (even more than he does now lol) for Christmas but may need to tackle that when I get home from the cricket. It won't be a super late night as the cricket starts at 3.45pm - depending on the traffic we should be home by about 8 tonight.

Great that you had some time to yourself @TheVorticon and great that you let your partner know you needed it - that is impressive.
It was incredibly hot at the cricket - it was still 32 degreesm at 6pm but it felt even hotter at the ground. I managed to get myself burnt despite copious amounts of sunscreen being constantly applied - one of my meds makes it easier for me to burn so it will mean applying the cream I have tonight and then again in the morning - hope that helps.
In case I don't connect eith you again before tomorrow I hoe the day is an easy one for you will no stress - Merry Christmas to you and your family - and I hope the year ahead is better for you 🎄😍

Spent too much time thinking this morning. I was thinking about how I would prepare if I went back to my old psych - what things worked/helped last time, what things weren't working. The biggest problem from my perspective was how invalidating I am about my experiences. I'm not sure if I've improved on that at all cause I got completely caught up in that again as I was thinking about it.

Is it you invalidating your experiences for yourself @TheVorticon or was it your psych invalidating them - there is a big difference.

It was me invalidating them for myself @Zoe7. My psych and I didn't work out a way around it at the time because I couldn't verbalise stuff about it.
