So, I kept waking up triggered last night, and I got very little sleep. Do you know how annoying it can be to wake up in a panic, shaking uncontrollably and trying to fend off dangers that don't actually exist? Super annoying, as well as exhausting and discouraging. And my poor roommate/sister! I woke her up because I sat up, gasped no over and over again, and waved my arms around wildly. I didn't keep her up the whole night though (I hope), because whenever I'd realize I was dreaming, I'd try to practice calming techniques. I found that along with grounding, internally praying and singing hymns helped. I'm grateful that my Heavenly Father loves me and helps me.
But because of my tumultuous night, I don't feel super great today. It was only a little thing, but for my Savior, I tried to concentrate really hard so that I could complete my homework. He wants me to succeed in school, even when it's difficult for me to care as much as He does, so I did my homework for Him. Throughout the day, I might find other things to do for Him, but already, He has helped me act better today than I would have otherwise.
