This is part of a post I wrote on Facebook 3 years ago. I'm currently deleting my posts from memories daily. ICE agents at airports are literally using your social media to detain you and go through your phone and social media postings. Anything found as anti current admin raises the harassment.

I had no idea how physically and mentally exhausting doing this specific therapy for #PTSD was going to be. I suspect there is involuntary muscle clenching, which is a problem with my neuropathy and fibro. My mind is constantly cycling, never actually resting. Between the 2 things, I'm wiped out.

Overwhelmed. Between the 3 tags, my therapy is going to end up complex, difficult, and very lengthy. I need to sort out symptoms which overlap with each other. He's being careful about triggering my PDA/ODD, which will stall everything. He offered more days if I want. Unsure. #Autism #ADHD #PTSD

He's 15, almost 16. Still got some growing left on his clock. I just made sure it wasn't going to hit the ground now. His mom is going to send me pics of the other 2 kids wearing their scarves. Those already got sent to Britain in preparation for the move. They leave tonight for a month. #Knitting

Horizon at dawn Already awake and watching Magic begins now #Poem #Poetry #Witch #WitchSky

Mission accomplished. Teen has received his scarf, and he's happy with it. I can relax my anxiety about getting them all done and delivered before their departure. The entire family is happy with their individual scarves. Mom knows about the protection magic I wove into each. #knitting #WitchSky

Numbness pervades A chaotic mental maelstrom Emotions frozen, unfelt Hypervigilence dominates Outer world stimulus A massive chaos Overlaying it all Overwhelming my sense Of autistic order Flooding beyond my ability To process and adapt Keeping me off balance And unable to process Anything at all.

We decided to add another therapy day each week from this point. Tuesdays and Fridays. He feels I'm a tough nut to crack because I have so many layers of automatic defenses from trauma. Not wrong. #PTSD

My teal baby alpaca/mulberry silk yarn has been giving me fits. This is the 3rd try. Completely undid and started over twice already. I can only knit with this during the day, on the Porch. Otherwise, I drop stitches and don't notice until the next session on the Porch. #Knitting

Apparently, I'm stocked up on cat. I was putting away groceries into the pantry and turned around to this. Eros decided I needed direct supervision on putting things away... #Cats #Familiar #CatSky

*deep sigh* Just took apart the #knitting on the next project for the 2nd time. I found at least 3 dropped stitches buried towards the beginning. Perhaps a pause in knitting and magic is called for. I'm drained from the 4 scarves of protection that I plowed through in a month. #Witch #WitchSky

#CatMeme

All finished. Just waiting for teen to get home and I'll hand it over. #Knitting

Halfway through the 1st side of sewing the 2 scarf pieces together. It's slow going. Hopefully, will finish the project today. The boys and mom leave for Britain soon. This is the last one. The 2 scarves for the youngest are already at their new home there. #Knitting

#Knitting finished for the teens scarf. Sewing the 2 pieces together now into 1. Gonna be a looking day of sewing, but I'm pleased with how it's going so far. He's actually excited about it... unexpected reaction from a teen. 🤣

I made this 10 years ago.

Yes, this is accurate... #meme

#Knitting as I sit on my Porch throne and process my therapy appointment from Friday. Trying to get my mind around the ways PTSD has literally impacted nearly my entire life. That my responses to everything has been tainted by trauma reaction on autopilot. Now my mind is inventorying so many things.

Did my 2nd PTSD therapy appointment this morning. Therapist confirmed the PTSD diagnosis and strongly leaning towards CPTSD as well. Apparently, it's not an either/or thing. You can have both. Gave him my history from approximately 2 yo through my 20s. He's open to 2 sessions a week if I want.

I'll never forget.

Prince Spicy is guarding my Porch Domain from a black cat that's trying to muscle in on his turf. It's been a running battle between them for a month. #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #Catsky

Finished #Knitting the boys' mom's scarf. Taking a break and then working on the teen's again.

This is the scarf for the boys' mom. She's Spectrum with sensory issues for artificial textiles. So, she's getting llama/mulberry silk blend. #Knitting

Taking a small breather from social media. Processing my therapy, hyper focused on finishing knitting projects, and a bit l low on physical/mental energy that I need to conserve. Probably back on Monday.

Did my intake with new therapist. He's gay, ASD, ADHD, and specializes in C/PTSD. We did the usual new intake stuff. It looks promising. He's still deciding if I've CPTSD or PTSD. He's certain that I've one or the other so far. He agrees that it's going to take time to work through it. No quick fix.

Been a bit... sorta cleaned up.

So, the Elder I work with has gifted me a set of bamboo #Knitting needles. I'd told her about my mom gifting me the yarn, she went through her own supplies and gave me her duplicates. Guess the universe is telling me to keep knitting and keep experimenting. Thinking about knitting and altar cloth.

I'm finally ready to start addressing my PTSD. It's honestly 30 years overdue. My therapist bounced off his chair. He'd been waiting for 5 years for me to bring it up. He didn't because he knew I'd shut it down unless I did it myself. He referred me to a specialist. My first appointment is Friday.

Huh. Well... that was unexpected. Weighed my self this morning expecting my usual high 220s. Been comfort eating, to be honest. 218... what?! Scale, are you lying to me right now? I've been plateaued in the 220s for freaking years. Even with Ozempic. My preferred goal is 200. +/- 5 either way.

Love the knotwork done here. For those who are clutching pearls, what types of things I post are clearly stated in my profile. It shouldn't be a shock...
