From some of the other more private discussions, I must say I am feeling really good now. Talking is the best policy, venting your frustrations and ensuring your needs are satisfied. Some of mine were not, thus I was getting frustrated and angry, bottling emotions from these aspects of life. The last couple of days now I have been feeling really good within myself, enough to say that if things around me remain the same as they are now, I should be able to remain at the "back to my normal self" stage.

I know some people wakeup and feel great, but they are already telling themselves that its just a blindfold or the like. Its not true, regardless how bad you may off felt for months previous, when you feel good, your brain isn't playing tricks on you, you actually feel good. That means instead of analyzing what is wrong, and when the moods are going to set back in, you should actually be analyzing what went right, or what has made you feel good again. The difference is positive vs. negative thinking patterns. Think negatively, and you will convince yourself. Think positive, and you will be quite astonished by the power of your mind.

When you feel good, what did you do in the days prior to get that way? Have you simply given up thinking about all the bad stuff that has happened? Whatever the case may be, isolate those positive aspects and work with them, and this is how you continue to build more good days vs. bad days with PTSD in my opinion.

What I know, is that I feel good because my surroundings have adapted slightly to take some stress off me, which means, less stress for me, better outcome for me and those around me. Easy ha? Practice makes perfect... but whats harder, is convincing those around you or the problem your having, to backoff and meet your needs a little more, so you can meet its needs. If you can wrap your mind around that one....

learn to think positive and overcome negative thinking, feeling good is not only possible but also something which with time you can feel more of, theres the thing where you go round manically cheery just before dropping again but that isnt it, when you do get the good days enjoy them, dont look for the pitfall and try to see how and why things are better and then see if you can keep those good days going.
