- increased symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression - communication issues (forgetting or 'losing' words and sentences/thoughts, difficulty articulating thoughts, stumbling over words and phrases, and I have developed a stutter)

Brain update. I have developed migraines post-Traumatic Brain Injury. Pushing too hard, migraine. Weather changes too fast, migraine. I still have increased cognitive strain and fatigue.

These are, at this point, likely permanent. I am immensely grateful for the people in my life now, who have loved me through all of this, even when I became a burden. My kids (my 120 students) think my brain damage jokes are hilarious.

I got some really good news yesterday! There’s this medical thing that I need that I thought was at least a year off if not closer to 2 years. I got a call yesterday that it’s happening in less than 2 months!!! Of course the obstacle now is about $5000😬 venmo.com/u/NeyhartJN

I accidentally Pavlov-ed a coworker 😂 I bring her treats so often (baked goods, snacks, candy) that she just takes whatever I hold out to her and pops it in her mouth without looking. Today it was cheese. She was not expecting cheese 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am that person who if it looks like someone is having a bad day, or tired, or whatever, I bring them treats. Coworker had a super rough class last year. Coworker got a lot of treats. Coworker no longer looks. No think, no look, only nom 😂

Make my life a lullaby. I can't imagine a future, but I do know that whenever I go, I want my life to have been that. I want whatever life I have built for myself to sing like a lullaby. Soft, sweet, safe, kind. Absent of pain, or fear.

So much so that the lullaby is all that is needed. That the violence and pain that made it need not be spoken of anymore. And I may be a ways from healing that. But I will make my life and my home a lullaby. A place that need not be escaped from.

CPTSD has physical manifestations. Sometimes those look like panic attacks. Sometimes they look like intractable headaches and (apparently) muscle spasms.

Anyway. I am looking forward to feeling safe enough to sleep.
