| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| | Remembered to take morning and evening ocular nutrition vitamins essential for my eyes. ...And, accepted when asked to play the role of a homeless Mom dog, (living in animal shelter) with my son in the role of my puppy (Tiger), when along comes my daughter (Maggie) and quietly transports us home to live with her, and for her to take care of. My daughter had the story set (with props meticulously arranged) and it was up to the rest of us to act out this play with her for nearly 45 min. And, she says this time doesn't count because her brother was involved and she wants time playing alone with Mommy. |

| | I took care of myself. Used my heating pads, took a break from my woorkbook (kids moved it and I cannot find it) but I needed a break anyway, sipping my teas and put my feet up and did not do a damn thing today. Passed out hard this afternoon during meditating and got a good hard dreamless nap. I did nothing, I needed rest and am taking it. Seeing I need to be good to myself, my body and mind. I feel a lot better. |

| | I am doing okay. I wrapped up my first week of work. My boss really likes me. They requested me to stay on through Dec 1 as a temp. I think I have a good shot of being hired on a perm basis. The level of work is just where I can handle and I feel great being able to use my brain in a different way. I am thankful that I can pick up new skills rel quickly. I feel really thankful
I did only get my main meds filled today though. So it was several days without the effexor... which helps so much. By friday I had some ruminating thoughts and thoughts of self-destruc behavior. But I feel like I am getting more on level since I took the effexor this morning. |

| | Nov, that sounds great.
I slept in today as Victoria has a public holiday today for Melbourne Cup, so no school for the teen or playgroup for the little one, though he has chickenpox anyway, so he wasn't going regardless I guess. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
