Not finished

Almost though, just a few white areas left to paint erm well white.

I am really pleased with it. Considering I got it as a bit of a joke its way better than I thought it would be.

I had been looking at adult paint by numbers as an alternative to colouring books and it's certainly more challenging and really therapeutic. It definitely was the thing that prevented a total mental crisis. When I started it I really was struggling and at one point was even debating if I needed to call the crisis team I really felt like I was about to spiral out of control.

I am working up my dose of 5htp, I started off very low and have been increasing very slowly due to my history of mediation reactions including anaphylaxis and so I really want to give that a chance first. And I have been researching starflower oil. I think I can take it. It mentions a contra indication if you have a bleeding disorder and while they are monitoring me for low platelets I have not been diagnosed with one since pregnancy version so I think I should be OK and getting monitored regularly anyway so if anything does go amiss at least it will be spotted. Really want to try the alternative route first.

But if that doesn't work I will go back to the doctors there was one anxiety med that I wasn't allergic/intolerant to so I do have at least one option open to me.

Today was mostly me cutting my hair, shopping, washing and cleaning the mini farm (Mr Mouse did the bunnies, I did the chickens).

I just need to make the bed, I finally have a duvet cover clean and dry. The tumble drier and me still have an uneasy truce.
