I saw the aurora for the first time! I live in a northern state so they appear every once in a while but tonight they were almost unimaginably bright. Like a fire spread across the sky. With the stars shining amongst the streaks of color, it was something to behold.

Today I baked chocolate chip walnut cookies with my friend Shawn. I’ve been craving a treat to dip into my coffee and hot cocoa.

I finished this book this afternoon. Something inside said I needed to read it and I’m glad that I did. As a 30-something who is disabled and adjusting to a new reality, this was exactly what I needed. That it’s November is just a bonus.

Job security, the latest source of anxiety…
I know I’m not supposed to do work on the sabbath. I was just struck severe anxiety. I should’ve prayed on it but instead, I cleaned the kitchen and ran a load of dishes. The mess in there was contributing to the anxiety and I just couldn’t handle it anymore.

My lucky day! I was running some errands when I noticed a sign outside my local charity shop: “Lot Sale Everything $1 or Less!”

Long time, no post! My MIL took me to her friends’ organic farm to pick blueberries. Can’t wait to make blueberry pancakes.

For the first time in 7 years I finished a book that I was reading for pleasure. I’ve managed to read books in my college classes but it was very difficult. After having so many difficulties reading due to my mental illness, I can’t begin to express how happy I am.

My Dad and my fiancé, playing cribbage and enjoying each other’s company. I’m glad David gets along so well with my family.

A new week has begun. I’m not really sure what to do today. My fiancé did so much cleaning in anticipation of my dad visiting, there’s no cleaning for me to do.

Day 2 of psychiatric collapse. I don’t want to get out of bed but I need to eat. Afterward, I think I’ll try a round of meditation and prayer.

PTSD is a bitch. You can be doing so well for a long time. Then, out of nowhere, you’re hit with a nightmare so horrific that you’re scared to go back to sleep.
