152. My First Group Counseling Session

I've been going to the Palm Beach County Victims Services for 10 months now.  At first I had to go every other week.  If you remember I had PTSD after living through the stalking nightmare.  Now I go every other week.  I know that still seems like a lot, but it I really need to.

There are actually group sessions once a week at the down town courthouse.  People of all types of crimes, stalking, rape, physical abuse, etc. all attend these sessions.  My psychologist, Amber, asked me to go at least 8 months ago.  It's been impossible so far.  The timing just never worked with my job.

113. Mark's Bond Hearing - Take 2 - Incredible Stress and Relief

After last week, and what turned out to be a dress rehearsal of Mark's bail hearing, I really thought I would be far less stressed for today's hearing.  I was wrong.

I knew I had to be up at 6 AM so last night I went to bed early.  I laid in bed.  My heart was beating so fast and hard I could actually hear the pounding sound in my head.  I got up 3 different times.  I finally fell asleep after 2 AM.
