Today was overcast and raining, so of course it was a bad headache day!  Being the first of the month it was also Aimovig shot day, which helps my headaches not be so intense.  But, the weather definitely has its affects on my brain.

Other than that it's been a good day. Church was great and said goodbye to everyone since we're leaving on the 6th to head back to WI.

I just headed to bed and without realizing it I began pulling out my eyebrows. Trichotilliomania there you go again. I am taking NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) for it per my psychiatrist. It's supposed to help with hair pulling or Trichotilliomania. I was 50 some years old before I knew it had a name and that others had it too.  I've been pulling my eyelashes and eyebrows since I was a child.  I'm assuming I started after being molested by a so called family friend.   He told me if I told anyone that he'd kill me, my family, and all my friends.  That's also when I started having my recurring nightmare about aliens coming and killing my family and friends in my neighborhood.   That didn't stop until 2015 when I went to a writing workshop for survivors of sexual abuse.  I wrote about a recurring dream or nightmare I had. It was a nightmare for me.  But, I never had that nightmare again after writing about it.

Writing has really helped me work though alot of issues in my life. It's been very therapeutic. 

A few years ago I wrote a book about my experiences with domestic violence and other abuses I've had to deal with in my life.  It's called "But, I never got a Black eye." It's on Amazon.com  If you get it, all I ask is that you share it with others who need it.
