I think I need tips.

It's 230 245, I get up at 5, but I've been awake for more than an hour because I keep breaking out into hives. After changing my clothes and checking the bed for bugs and realizing the randomness of the rash placement, I went to Dr Internet, and I think it's just stress.

I had a bad weekend, tomorrow (well, today) is gonna be rough, and the holidays are looking grim - the stress is going to keep coming. I need to handle it better, though, because adding rash-induced sleep deprivation isn't going to help.

I think I need to do a better job of taking care of myself. How are you taking care of yourself? Big things, small things, any things - what is working for you?

    recently I started writing poems about the things that upset me. They don't have to be good as the point is to express myself. It really helps order my thoughts and after I've done it it feels like the bad thoughts and feelings are out of my head and on paper

      ❤️ this is something I used to do that really did help, but I had completely forgotten about. Thank you for reminding me.
