Gives me weird dreams

Ahh it’s probably ok during the day. I took it to relax before bed a few times

Where did you get it? I tried my first years ago in Ithaca. I liked it but it was kind of gross. I think I’d like it more now since i actually have more anxiety vs back then

I’ll post an update after I try. Got pills at vitamin shoppe

I had an amniocentesis performed at 16 weeks and found out today (19.5 weeks) that the chromosome analysis and microarray to test for microdeletions came back normal. Had they not come back normal, I would have aborted. I am distraught that others will not have this choice now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.

I had a psych meet the other day for VA stuff in expanding my PTSD and anxiety issues - it opened some traumas; childhood, Iraq, divorce, alcoholism, suicide attempt. I cried a few times explaining then to now. I’ve been in therapy for years which has given me all the tools I’ve needed to work thru it all. I prepped for this meet knowing it was coming, but it resurfaced alot of memories. She ended saying, “you’re doing great.” I needed that so much. Thank you for listening and you’re not alone.
