My support workers are wearing yellow hospital gowns that seem to be triggering my anxiety and PTSD. I think this is because I associate those gowns with painful procedures such as blood pokes, Ivs and operations. I know I need to remember the staff at lifeskills do not have the equipment for those things.

Other triggers are pain , changes in routine or not knowing what is happening. I feel I am much better but I do need to keep working on my self. I also need to remember that I am not perfect but I want to be.

We are in the new year and I am hoping it is much better than the last.

Last year was hard on many people with the lockdown but I managed to have a fairy good year. I was able to go away a couple of times.

I was able to see friends and family and right before Christmas I had a lovely weekend at my auntys new house.

They managed to sort our my pain for the most part. I was able to have my lifeskills online.

This year I am hoping to be able to do everything as normal.
