| | 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. |  | |

yesterday I made a huge stretcher canvas for a painting. It's 4 1/2 ft. by 7 1/2 ft. After a few choice words to the wood for warping, I finally got it done. Now, it's time to gesso!. |

Despite bad circumstances resulting from my condition, I made some good choices. And despite my husband being just over a week away from cigg's with no aid's and our frustrations and his anxieties, he made some good, very helpful, constructive choices. All went fairly well, despite my frightening experiences and enormous risks for much grief. |

that's great hope, and it's even better that you realized that you and your hub made good choices. Way to go. |

Resumed cutting my xanax after it being on hold, I think the zoloft out of my system has steadied a bit so ready to go.
Current 1.5 mg should start really hurting tomorrow but only for a few days, though surprised the back ache has already kicked in, maybe that is kids home and no hubs... At least I know I will shed some weight (yes, I can think if a dozen better way to do it too) That is me trying to look at the bright side.
Made first step in unloading animals yesterday, 58 chickens gone and 1 duck... Tomorrow another load out and then again Monday or Tuesday. Was emotionl but it is good as it needs to be done. |

I curled up on my bed this afternoon and took a nap. :sleeping: It's been a while since I've been able to turn it all off for a while and just doze. |

For a few days ago, I helped my wife get through birth without intervention. Friday I cleaned the house after a home birth. Weekend, well... looked after kids, managed house, got little one home now. |

I went to pay my utility bill this morning, and there was a big line up. A man approached me and asked if I had a pen he could use. I said yes and gave him a pen from my bag. People were staring at him like he was a freak or scum or something, and I was really surprised at myself for not being afraid (he was a bit rough looking). When I was done paying the bill, I noticed him on the pay phone and he was like sorry, they have me on hold. But I said, no worries, you can keep the pen. I even smiled at him! That is so rare for me, with a stranger. Anyways I felt good to have done something nice for a stranger, and not been frightened, either. |

Since finding this forum and doing my trauma work, I have been completely surprised with how, at times, I've quite naturally behaved in ways that just a short time ago, I would have very fearfully and anxiously avoided.
....something I did good today is clean and prepare home for upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas, holidays. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
