Didn’t write this before, but woke up to a lip bleed on November 2nd. Basically it is a lip bite severe enough that it has clearly bled in the middle of our sleeping and has become a scab type crusted with blood wound. Sometimes we wake up with fresh blood still there too. The wound is very visible to us in the mirror.
We didn’t sleep the night of the 31st, then instead of being able to take a nap or sleep on the 1st, we had to suddenly do something to help the mother beginning very early in the morning. Then we had just enough time to go home for a very brief time and then head to group. So we didn’t actually sleep until finally early in the morning on the 2nd and then into the day. However, we view it as the “night of” November 1st. So we woke up to a lip bleed from the “night of November 1st.”
Also, we woke up to a very small and tiny lip bleed today. So the “night of November 2nd” even though again we didn’t sleep until the morning of November 3rd and then into today.
Just find the dates and timing of it all very interesting. It seems to happen around “holiday times” or when things are ultra difficult for us as a system for whatever reason.
Just trying to remember to track this stuff. That’s all.

makes sense to us, and tracking all of this may well help some of the puzzle pieces to fit later
peace and blessings

also maeks sense to us, funny how holidays fmailies desperately neeed to us or triggering dates
I track like this to find a pattern later down the line. I think it’s a good idea. I might suggest listing emotional reactions to the lip bleed as well as the circumstances surrounding it.
Tracking like this isn’t something new for our system but filing it under our personal notes so we can go to them easily is. Before we just typed them up and posted it on the blog but now we have a special category that we can go to. We don’t have to wonder if someone filed it under PTSD or anything like that. We just look under the category Morton’s Pride and filer through it. Tracking helps to see a correlation between events and emotional responses which might ultimately lead to decreasing strong reactions to events.
