I worked independently on an art therapy exercise yesterday and it wasn't part of the prompt but on the back of each of my pieces, I journaled my process and the choices made while creating them. Since my therapist wasn't there to discuss, I felt it was necessary to the overall process.

It's also a great practice in talking/writing out the process taken when creating a given piece. My therapist will ask questions about color choice and object placement that are not only helpful in processing my feelings but also in thinking through how I constructed my creation.

I also did complete some art therapy yesterday from a list my therapist had sent me. So I haven't let the rut of not following through completely takeover.

And I need to pat myself on the back because it was a task that was gonna slide. And it didn't. And now it will be so much easier to schedule a second session if needed. All because I chose the me I want to be over the me I think I am.

Proud of myself cause I finally got around to scheduling a session with their supervisor so I can have a check in with a professional. It was burdensome but necessary cause I've been going through it and it's rough not having my therapist around to talk to.

Not to be that guy, but back in my day the recent snowfall would have been a blizzard and it would have been brilliant.

I'm finally getting a grip and have been able recognize I'm in or approaching the luteal phase before it gets bad. But fuuuuuug. So dar, knowing has NOT stopped it from being a right nightmare.

As someone who just could never get it together enough to know when my period is coming, I always figured knowing when would be the solution to managing my symptoms.

Basically during the luteal phase, I am the most depressed ever and wanna die or lose it all until I get my period and bam. I'm good, just cramping and tired but the physical is far less debilitating than the emotional and I'm good for the next 3 weeks.
