It's a tough day for you and your dad, AJ, no question about it, so I'm glad you said something ahead of time so prayers for both of you could be ongoing all day. Sending you support as I write this.

I also have a few days every year that I use a few positive coping skills to distract my mind on one of my triggering days.

I hope you get some much needed sleep.

    Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard
