LOL... the last few days have all been good for me, no change really at all. Life motors along its merry road and I just jump on for the ride nowadays... quite relaxing really. I feel pretty relaxed anyway!

Today was OK, got a new med added to the mixture...
but it should help with nerve pain (although that's its secondary use), so that's good
Just really felt quiet the last couple of days,
I've been online here everyday reading everyones posts...
just not in the right mood to add my two-cents

Medication induced calmness... exactly what I need right now
Lets me have a moment to sort my thoughts out.
At least till I get a better handle on all this.

Your doing just fine YA... keep going the way you are, because I think you can already see changes within yourself, I can anyway, but it does take years before you will for the majority of the time, be past it all, if you work at each symptom, each trauma. It does get better... but it doesn't happen overnight, in a few months, or even a year... it takes time, but continuous work and effort on your behalf, great support, you will get past the worst of PTSD. Then you just have to maintain it... thats another challenge in itself, but nowhere near the hard time to get past the bulk of the issues.

Hang in, keep your head up, and keep pushing yourself further and further, even when you don't think you can, thats when you need too.

There has been lots of changes...
it IS getting better, slowly things are seeming to calm down
which is exactly what I need right now.
Just trying to get through all the BS and sort myself out

Don't worry bout me... I'm pretty strong
I'm determined to get past this...

Have 3 doctor appointments today,
it's overwhelming just thinking of going, lol
at least I only have 2 more to go! (already went to one)
Hope to get some things done around the house after if I'm up to it :)

Hey YA! Good to hear you're doing ok. I'm pretty much coming out of 2 and a half weeks of "stress mode". I know this because I feel absolutely wiped out. I sat down when I got home from work and then woke up over an hour later! It was PROPER sleep! I still fell exhausted, but better in myself, as I seem to have stop the mind racing worry, despite the fact that nothing significant has changed today.

Hope your other appointments went ok. My doc appointment was quite good yesterday -I don't have to go back for a month unless I want to, so I just have to go for the therapy. This is good, cos I always get wound up about going to the docs - as I'm sure you can identify with!!

Hey Piglet!
Well, for me it depends on what Doc appointment it is...
some are WAY more stressfull than others.
Appointments with Surgeons... I'm a wreck, lol
Therapists/Psychiatrists/Head Docs stress me even more
Unfortunatly I'm not as lucky.. I have min 4 appointments a week
That's OK though, at least I'm being taken seriously.
And it's what I need to get better.

Make sure you are getting enough rest,
I know you're a hard worker and you don't want to burn yourself out!

Anyways, so Doc appointments went OK,
just at home chilling now
So far... so good

Planning to work on the suntan this weekend, so plenty of resting planned. Got a couple of good books too, now that my concentration is getting a little better. Glad you're doing ok.

Very good to hear YA that you are sorting out what "you" need, and what "you" believe is best for you. That is exactly what a person needs to get themselves better. Know what works, what doesn't, lots of hard work and even more patience.

Bloody great stuff YA!

Two from two... even better. Good stuff Piglet... and about time your starting to really allocate some "you" time and relaxation for your brain. Keep up the great work. It seems small, but is quite large in the scheme of PTSD, especially at the beginning of the fight.

This week has been super fun! (Not)
I think 3 months of under 4 hrs sleep a day has gotten to me.
My husband noticed though and made me sleep while he watched the baby. It was a good 11 or so hr nap. He didn't know how early she wakes up in the morning.
Later today we're going to make a plan for him to watch her so I can nap in the day.
I'm glad to hear you're all good. Which books did you get Piglet? I just got some to! Y&A you need a hug. ( I can't find a smiley one so *hug*) We're here for you. Be good to yourself. Anthony, how are you? You've just responded, not taken time to reflect for yourself.
Very hopeful today.
Maybe I'll email my mother-in-law and see if she'll look up head doctors for me. That way I can find out which will pay without freaking and never working up the nerve to call them again.
Right now I'm just recouperating from that party. I haven't even cleaned.
Not feeling so good lately, physically. I'm nautious. It's because my stomach is tensed. Maybe stress. I have a continuous headach from the back of my head, like I fell straight down from two feet.
After that nap I feel better though. Maybe it's lack of sleep and stress.
I'm gonna take it slow for a few days, not even cleaning. Maybe my roomates will for me.
I need some down time.
