Woke up from a nightmare in which Mike Ehrmentraut was following me around for allegedly shoplifting. It was already so hard to go to sleep. I need it for today, my friend will be here at 8:30, body please...

Another fun human fact is that we sleep a lot lighter in unfamiliar surroundings. Sokething else that will improve in a little while ๐Ÿค—

Have you spoken to your GP and therapist about this? If that's not something you typically do then I strongly encourage that you give it a try!

It's absolutely the major topic of our conversations! There's some heavy shit underneath it all. Already onto my sixth session next week... without any of that support I think I'd have had a breakdown
