Well, I want to do an update on my February Post when I was thinking about ways to improve my mental health. At the time, my list was: So, bringing the ADHD meds to Ketamine has been a total success. The others have been… mostly failure 😭 I looked into EMDR (✅️) but I don’t…

So, I worked on Wednesday. When I got home, I accidentally fell asleep without my CPAP. Then I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and something very abnormal was going on in my chest- like a fluttering, which I had never experienced. I looked down and the situation was visibly obvious. It looked like…

Well, I’m on Proctor 2. This time of year always hits me really hard. I think it started as a simple anniversary reaction, but now it’s an anniversary reaction to other anniversary reactions. Every year, my plan for the spring is to just be fine this year. Unfortunately, that seldom works. I’ve also got a…

Well, I thought I should post an update! Usually I do a newsletter at the end of each month, but that didn’t happen in January so my apologies to my loyal readers. I’ve been up and down. Having a car again is awesome and has dramatically changed my life for the better. Having a couch…

The car thing has hit a SNAFU and is delayed 😭 but hopefully by no more than a few days. In the meantime, me and the kids have been enjoying our last few days of Yuletide break! I finally filmed our living room with the chair, and Kitten finished up his nasty famciclovir.

Well, I am not at liberty to say how this has come about, but I recently procured funding for a couch, a CAR, and neurofeedback. The Couch The couch is a one-seater and fits perfectly in my book nook. It’s amazing how much more home-like things feel now!! I was thinking back on when the…

Well, I’m here to write about my Life Plans again. To start, I’m referencing some entries I uploaded over the summer. I have this “flipbook” app, which I think sort of works? But I’m backing it up with the files converted to jpg. If anyone is dying for the links to the previous entries, you…

Well, I’ve written about friendship on here before, and why it’s really hard to build when you have PTSD. So, I’m going to start by re-sharing some quotes from myself. I’m linking to the original entries, as well, but these are excerpts. From “This Could be the End” (Posted October 6, 2023)https://apostateturtle.com/?p=1224 “They don’t need…

Well, I’ve finally scraped together time to make this entry. I wish I had done it three weeks ago, but hopefully it will still come out okay. This is the first in a three-part series that I drafted out in my mind while I was in the hospital. (The next two will be on Building…
