This week has been hell, but...I'm working through it.
Period cramps and headaches kicked my ass, then on Monday I had to duck out of DnD with my friends because my ankle acted up to the point where I couldn't even concentrate and was just sobbing it hurt so bad, so I went and elevated my ankle in bed and just kept warmth on it.
It's still really bad right now actually, but I'm trying not to let it get to me as much as possible. My counselling appointment was re-scheduled for Tuesday(6th one!) and that went well, it was a day that I just needed to rant to my therapist and I even told her about my new youtube channel and she's proud of me for it (I still need to upload vids there..). She's also proud of me for the progress I'm making, she's noticed a lot of improvement in the 6 weeks I've been talking to her. I've been asked to focus on seeing POSSIBILITIES instead of hurdles so that's something I'm working on :).
I canceled my appointment with my support workers yesterday because after my period, then that horrible ankle flare-up on Monday, I just need time to rest the ankle as I've been going pretty hard with shifting things about and my ankle is not responding well to it.
I made a doctor's appointment for next Tuesday as Friday and Monday are stat holidays because Friday is Good Friday and Monday is Easter Monday, so stuff's not open, and I'm not able to really walk right now so I'm going to rest my ankle as much as I can before my appointment on Tuesday. I could aggravate the shit out of it so my doc actually takes me seriously, but I'm not one to do that.
Just need to keep going, and keep working on areas I can improve on. Therapy is helping a lot because I'm being challenged to work on the things that have kept me back before and it's slow-going, but there's progress and I'm proud of myself as is my GF and the friends I have.
Here's to continuing to make progress!
