The good news? The government shutdown ended. The bad news? There's still no annual budget. When was the last one? About 15 years ago.
A long day of fighting symptoms and relapses for salt and sugar. But you try and cope as best you can.
Set boundaries and protect your well being.

It's Going to Happen
As we post this, 2 1/2 hours before the govt. shutdown. Millions of people will be hurt by this. The politicians on the other hand won't. Almost all are millionaires who have the best job perks and health care that money can buy. Because they're rich and powerful, that's why.
As for the rest of us, a long day of fighting symptoms and exhaustion. We're trying really hard not to have a relapse and then lots of salt and sugar in the diet. That's a common problem that trauma survivors have. You always feel burned out. On the other hand, we don't want to be taking lots of meds every day and then constantly drugged out. That just makes things worse.
Protect yourself.

Triggering Stuff is Everywhere
Another day of cold, symptoms and lots of triggering stuff. Unless they stop it, the US government will shutdown at midnight Friday. Why do the politicians do this stupid stuff? Because they like money and power.
You try to be aware and care. But your well being comes first. Because if it doesn't, you can't be effective.
Protect yourself.

Constantly Fighting Symptoms
Nightmares still happen. You then try to wake up, but you're still fighting to not dissociate. Sometimes you have sleep paralysis. You open your eyes, but you can't do anything else. You know your arms and hands are there. But your energy doesn't reach them. You almost have to focus and will your energy to circulate thru so you can move again.
Why does this happen? Why does almost no sleep always happen? Because pain is always there. Just taking more medication will make it worse. Which means focus and try to protect your well being.
We're not doing anything wrong. We can't save the world all by ourselves. But we do our best to protect ourselves.
Stay warm and well.
