Maybe that&#8217;s part of the problem, that for some reason I&#8217;m forgetting a lot of words. \u00a0I feel like my brain\/mind is only functioning at 50% capacity. \u00a0Practical things that I have to do, like get things I need from my old apartment, make decisions about what to hold on to and what to let go of, and then make decisions about what to do with things I let go of. \u00a0I feel overwhelmed and scared. \u00a0 How can I possibly do it all? \u00a0I&#8217;ve tried to find books to read, but they have been disappointing so I go back to old favorites like Pilgrim&#8217;s Inn, a book by Elizabeth Goudge, that I&#8217;ve read many times.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve stopped typing my journal, and I&#8217;m writing only short notes that might be important like what meds I&#8217;ve taken, and whether or not I have shit. \u00a0The issue of shitting is a big one and has been going on for a long time. \u00a0I don&#8217;t shit every day, and I haven&#8217;t shit any large amounts in a long time. \u00a0So is it all piling up in my intestines??? \u00a0The medical people haven&#8217;t been helpful at all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m finally feeling more together and coherent. \u00a0I had moved to the health center because my trauma had been triggered, and I had pretty completely fallen apart. \u00a0The notebook about that is still in my apartment, so I don&#8217;t have &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/?p=8808\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,9,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-breakdown","category-journal","category-trauma"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jennydeupree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
