That background image just unlocked a bunch of happy memories from when I was a little girl. Then reminded me that I should go take ibuprofen for this headache ๐
Not pain, but if I do anything less than strictly sensible I often feel I have an obligation not to correct it, because I should learn not to do whatever the thing was in the future. Trouble is, I never remember the thing itself. All I teach myself is it's not ok to try to do things better than I did last time. That's unhelpful. I know why I do it but my psychologist terminated service because she didn't feel she could help me anymore so I don't know how I would stop.
My hesitation is the frequency. If you're having to take it all the time, 1. There's a bigger problem. 2. You build a tolerance, which can affect other things.
