| | 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 noticed the starlit night sky.
As I looked up, I felt humbled and connected. |

I met with a new therapist for the first time today. It is hard to begin all over again, and painful to have to reflect on the trainwreck of my life in giving my history. But I went and I will keep going. The pain means something real is happening. |

Went to this beautiful park overlooking the ocean and spent much enjoyable, relaxed time with my son. Video taped him having fun, too.
Then picked up my daughter from a friends house and the three of us went out to buy lobsters for a bit of a surprise supper celebration for my husband on his successful interview and promotion. He really enjoyed this, and that I cooked dinner, (om, as me cooking has been quite uncommon) but I bought enough for him and my son to indulge together.
Had a nice time tonight afterwards too, when I went to a meeting (fellowship) with three friends. I got asked to speak, from a dear person and did so, and tell my story and share ES&H. In doing so I remembered its been 11yrs April 1st since my last alcoholic drink. I left the meeting feeling both grateful and excited.
Also, I began reading another book and especially enjoy this reading and relaxation time: "Strong at the Broken Places." Today felt like a great gift, and one deeply enjoyed and appreciated.
Perhaps, all in a normal, routine day for some people, but continuing accomplishments and great stuff for me; I thank God.  |

This morning I emailed three wonderful friends who spend their time uplifting others. I told them what an enouragment they are for me and that I want to do a lot of heart work to become an encourager like them.
Hopefully they will give me some good advice on how to get there. |

Got to work this afternoon and the lady I work for was standing out on her porch with her bathrobe on. Her garbage had blown over so I picked it up and then headed to the porch. When i opened the door I knew she was in trouble. She had locked herself out. She was shaking so bad. It was very windy today, with temps around 34. She is 86 with moderate Alzheimer's. She had been out there for 2 hours.....
I put her in my car, turned the heat on high and called her daughter to come and open the door up. So glad I didn't call in sick today. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
