And then, of course:

Exercise. Eat. Drink water. Take meds. Sleep.

Well, it's not as if I've been on a three month vacation. Only one of those weeks was a cruise and even that involved a focus on homework, therapy, and healing. And then there was the hospital. And the preliminary hearing.

Both of which went as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

The outcome is that the acute stress reaction has blossomed into post traumatic stress disorder. And I'm on an SSRI for the first time in my life. And I start exposure therapy on Monday.

Which is scary.

But I'm sick of being sick. So here we go.

In the midst of weekly homework assignments and doctor appointments and going back to work, I've forgotten a few key points, which I need to remember, sometimes on an hourly basis.

1. Eat. Healthy. Every three to four hours.
2. Water. Sixty four ounces a day.
3. Exercise. Daily. At least thirty minutes of cardio every day.
4. Yoga. Cause I like it. And it likes me. Plus that added spiritual / mental bonus stuff.
5. Dance. Cause I like it. And it likes me.
6. Chores. Laundry and dishes and organization.
7. Medicines. Take them. And the daily vitamin. And the other stuff, if needed.
8. Work. From the office. Full time. But don't get stressed if the therapy sets me back a little.
9. Play. Do a fun thing every day.
10. Sleep. Eight hours a night.
11. Meditation. And reading. And chanting. And prayer.
12. Pontus. Cause I love him. And he loves me.
