| | 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. |  | |

I have gone since 9 PM last night med free. It is "last night" since I have not slept. No sleep tonight either and it is now after 5 AM. Hurts but doing it. |

Hang tough, veiled! When things get rough(er), remind yourself that you've gotten through the cut downs and you can do this, too. You can do it!!
Congrats on being med free. Quite a liberating feeling, isn' it?
You go girl!

Oh, yesterday I wired into the house a LAN system so we have hard wired computer / internet access throughout the house now. Now back to painting and minor renovations. |

Good luck veiled.
At this rate Anthony we might have to start calling you bob the builder!
Today our son started his 4 half days a week at kindy & has been doing well with his toilet training so we surprised him today when he came home & bought him a talking grill toy that he has been asking for.
The smile, hugs & kisses we got from him were well & truly worth it! |

He he he he he.... Yer jodee.... I could take that name at present. When we changed the laundry system over to my front loader and dryer, an Asko system that stacks, we removed nics dryer which was hung up high on the wall.... so she had a tube through the roof for the dryer exhaust which my dryer doesn't need as its a condensor dryer, and all the moisture is released through a pipe into the drain, not into the air itself. That hole I had to patch and rebuild, then the laundry had some other old screw holes hidden away under blinds, so I pulled all them down, patched the old drill holes, ended up painting the entire laundry and put it all back to together.
Our bedroom... well, the TV and removing the old tv from the cupboard, and I moved the powerpoint and arerial point from the side of our robe to the top for the plasma, so then made more work to patch up holes. Did all that, ended up just painting the entire inside of our robe. Fixed some old drill holes once again hidden behind the curtain rods... painted all that.
Fixed a hole in the young fellas wardrobe, ended up painting that. Door handles to replace is on the list. Working on the garage at present... kids playing cricket in it did some damage, so redoing all that and painting. Lots of work to do... all the little things that happen to houses over the years, all getting fixed.  |

It wasn't today, but yesterday (I seem to always be a day behind lately!). I baked. I've always enjoyed cooking and baking. I will cook, even if it's the bare minimum, pretty much no matter how I feel. But it came to me this morning that the only time I bake is when I'm happy. I baked two different kinds of bread yesterday.
I gave me such a lift to not only be happy, but to realize that I am. Damn, it took a while to get here, but the journey has definately been worth it.
