Dear Waves,
Oh, dear.
I am sounding agitated.
And I'm annoying.
Apologies.

In real life, I am worse.
I've glad that you are not here to hear me whine and nag and complain.

I slept about 5 hours during the day and am way into a sleep deficit. (The last time I slept almost decently was 6 hours Thursday night in the sleep lab.) Still, I could at least take a break and pipe down until I am presentable in public on the board.

I got a hold of my acupuncturist and have an appointment coming soon. She can help me with the skin reaction I seem to have had in the sleep lab. She also helps with anxiety.
Once I spoke to her this afternoon, I felt much better -- I have been missing her.

Tdoc usually uses lots of hypnosis and relaxation techniques in her therapy. But this summer, we haven't done any. I've missed that -- even though I trust the way she manages our session time.


So two of my helpers have been a little bit absent.

But then both of them would tell me to
1. find a way to sleep
2. find ways to give back to myself via relaxation or exercise or meditation and so on.
Maybe I could be my own caregiver and give 1 and 2 a try.

Thanks for letting me use this space.

M.
