Morning
Weather: OMG...Tropical Storm Debby is stalled over us. Tons of rain, high winds and tornadoes....one after another. Watching the news now, and they're saying they're seeing convection now. UGGHHHH. Maybe hurricane now?
Sleep: Yeah right. No night meds because I needed to be alert enough to haul the rear end if I tornado hit us.
Mood: Anxious. My anxiety is through the roof. On edge constantly.
Plans: Watch news. Attempt to contact my youngest who is one vacation south of here at Longboat Key, an island less than a mile wide right on the Gulf. UGH. Call the oldest who is thankfully home. Continue communication with step-mom. Wait and see what the weather looks like. Hope we keep power.

Good Afternoon Everyone
weather 68 huh? over 90 yesterday
sleep good dh came home from work early and I didn't have to worry about him so I slept well
mood so far so good
plans go to lunch with daughter. Missing my lemon rice soup. It's been like a month since she has been working so much. Other then that, read my marriage book and take ds to group therapy. Tonight might be his last day. We will see what the insurance says if he stays or goes. Either way, he has learned so much. I am really proud of him for all the effort he has put in.

Mel, I hope weather calms down soon, as does your anxiety!
Weather - have no idea-haven't even looked out the window, but let me check online lol....ok, says its 60, on its way to 68
Sleep - restless 4 hrs, but then took a couple naps for few hrs, but still don't feel rested
Mood - so so
Plans - If I can get myself in the shower before this afternoon, I'd be happy. If I can get myself outside, I'd be even happier.

Thanks...all of you.
I did talk to my little one this morning. Because the sun came out for a whopping half hour, they were going to take him to the beach to swim. They're flooded in. And for those of you unfamiliar, the rip currents are strong enough at the shoreline to sweep him away. Not to mention storm surge and whatever is washing in. I am PISSED. Oh, and he announced he actually SAW a tornado yesterday and one this morning which means he was looking out a window.
As for the oldest, I called him and he was at grandparents. Convo consisted of yes, no, uh huh, and a whispered "Dad is getting better." which means they're monitoring his calls. SOB's.

Afternoon to all.
Melly stay safe.
Weather: rain, thunder but kind of here and there. My garden got a good watering though.
Mood: anxious and so so
Plans: not much. I am so tired lately. Today has been "noisy" (can't focus or think). Thankfully one of my boys drove me to get my meds this morning and do errands. Can't settle myself down to do anything today.
Take care! xo

Good Afternoon;
Weather: 70 and Sunny
Sleep: not good
Mood: depressed and anxious.
Plans: I don't really have any big plans today. Just trying to find things to do to keep myself busy. I am feeling like hurting myself today. I can't seem to get it out of my head. Not feeling too safe right about now.
My daughter is at daycare because they went to the museum today. She was excited about that.

what a shame that your X is using the children in order to play his stupid games. He needs to get on with his own life and stop trying to mess yours up. Perhaps one day he will get tired of playing his games.

Im changing my mood to: overwhelmed, anxious, crabby, a bit sad. My LSC is causing me pain today. I had two good days of no pain and now its back again. It just makes me want to cry.

It's not the ex. It's his uncle, aunt and 90 yr old great-grandmother. The ex is...well...in the hospital. So for once he's not part of this mess. It's just a very serious lack of judgement of which I intend to take care of once he returns home. I'd go get him but the roads into the islands there are flooded and impassable. They should have left before the bands started to hit.

Good Evening
Weather: hot 97
Sleep: much better with weird dreams
Mood: anxious because I am going to the retreat and i am also on the board for the organization and I met one of them and not the other yet. They seem nice. My clonidine hasn't arrived in the mail yet. I hope it gets here tomorrow before I leave for the trip or the nightmares will return. Lovely. Then after the retreat, I turn right around and see family for the 4th and it might get ugly. I am plotting my plans for the future and dad isn't going to be happy about it. They can't hold me hostage here where i am at.
I want to move to a better place where I can receive better services. My goal is slowly transition back up there than leave by May of next year. I hope I get an opening by then.
TRIGGER----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I my end up cutting just to get their attention to realize I have really bad ptsd from the rape last year. I am tempted to cut tonight because I don't have all of my meds yet. Ugh family crap.

Good Evening Everyone!
Weather: Cool and sunny highs in 70's
Sleep: Way too tired for the day
Mood: Not feeling well at all
Plans: I did nap most of the day. I did some reading but not much. I made hot dogs on the grill. Tomorrow is therapy day for the kids so I'll be reading in the waiting room.
Hugs to all!
