I haven't been doing my ergonomic exercises; so this morning my eyelid stuck to my eyeball for the first time in ages. It's very sensitive to light now; but it will pass in a few days and then I will be able to see clearly again with both eyes.

I got irritable with my therapist today for the first time.

I used my words and she thanked me.

In fact, these songs can give voice, and give words, and give feelings for some of the things that we're finding hard to express inside ourselves."

Been depressed all day so I had to paint this happy cabin in the woods to cheer me up. 😁

Have a wonderful evening, everyone!

[I never knew people could cheer themselves up in this way :) ]
