| | 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. |  | |

| | Just woke up, called and tried to get in to see my GP today or tomarrow, but he's booked until next week.
(I already had an appointment for next week, so I'm just keeping it)
FRIG!!!! It's gonna be one of those days....
I decided to take a typing break and take my meds...
Firstly, I'm out of meds. I only have enough to take my morning dose.
So I try to take it, and of course my twitching hands drop one of my pills (a really really important one)
Ughhhh... takes me over 15 min to finally find the lil bugger in the carpet.
(I can't get a refill till boyfriend gets home with the truck)
Secondly... as I'm about to take a sip of water to wash down the pills...
My hand gets another twitch... and I drop the full glass of water... right infront of me at the computer...
My lighter, smokes, monitor, keyboard, mousepad... k, basically everything is soaked.
Ughhhh..... this day had better start looking up. |

| | tip-toes Well, so far so good.. mostly. Had to fight off a panic attack ALL day yesterday. (that really sucked) Got up today and managed 20 whole minutes on the eliptical machine.. downed a protein shake and a cup of coffee. Took a shower, got dressed, EVEN put on some makeup.. WOO HOO!! But I'm still tip-toeing, I'm afraid at any minute the 'ugly thing' will return. Hubby has joined (Ubu) and I'm glad for him. Its frustrating for us both to not know where my head is at, he needs to vent and be validated in his own right.. just like me. So I'm eekin' along.. minute by minute.. trying to hang on. Hope everyone is doing well today.. :redface: |

Been see sawing between aggro and anxious today.
Mother dearest pulled the guilt trip thing on me. Ended up stuck at the shops with her all day cos the car was in the mechenics. All I wanted to do was sleep.
Need to do my ratties cage tomorrow. Was going to do it today (why I'm so bloody annoyed at MD.)
The wet weather and continual dampness isn't helping with the whole keeping the rattie cage smelling clean *sighs*
Just all grrrr and I need to sleep so bad. I just want to sleep. can't close my eyes though Every time I do I feel like something bad is going to happpen. Don't know specifics, just something bad.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSS

Feck of rain, I just want to wash. I jsut want to be able to hang clothes on the line, sheets, my doona and let it get some freaking air and freshness. |

| | I am having a good day!
It's a snow day, so I'm off from work. I got up and did m therapy homework straightaway (writing about my trauma) and I re-read it several times, then put it away so I can't tear it up and throw it away before my session next week.
I'm watching tv with lots of candles lit, feeling pretty serene. And I'm going to take some pictures with my camera (A Holga toy camera with a Polaroid back to make instant photos) to put in my journal. |

| | Well I sound better feel worse.. LOL go figure. very exhausted keep having to have little naps during the day. I can't breathe and it's driving me nuts.. ugh.. Matt stayed home today. Said he felt dizzy. Once I woke up, I figured out it's anxiety.. he's worrying about walking to school because of his brother. So we did some work on "assuming" what others do to reality of what others do. Hopefully it helps some. He's going back to school tomorrow.. grrr.. it's frustrating to see how his ptsd is affecting him right now.. still can't get his anxiety down to a functioning level..
However, he told me his room looks like it should so I guess he likes it.
He was also looking over my shoulder at the forum today and told me that our little picture of the dog should be the owner tied to a dog house, growling with the dog calmly reading a paper.. LOL I thought that was funny and fitting. Gotta love kids astutness...

| | how do you spell @#*&%!! Bad night last night.. couldn't fall asleep.. had bizarre dreams.. woke up, unfortunately.. uggh.. :frown: Spoke to my brother, found out some info from years ago that I didnt remember. (refer to swiss cheese comment) I would have been around 16 or 17.. I have NO memory of it whatsoever.. I could tell he was surprised.. so then I called my sister. I asked her if SHE remembered this time.. she did.. so I'm crying because I dont remember it at all.. and I'm frustrated. So my sister sits on the phone with me for like 2 hours (she lives in Arizona) and I write down on paper, a chronilogical timeline of my life. Just figured that I'd start out by trying to remember where I lived and when. That'll be my starting point.. then I guess I need to figure out what if anything happened at each point. so needless to say.. my day so far has been F#&*'d. thank you, that is all.  |

| | no stupid doctor only perscribes enough for two months at a shot and I ran out before I get to see him again ( I see him this friday) and since he works for two clinics (one is private that I don't go too.. so they won't accept my calls) I can't get ahold of him.. he is in on the day I go.. ugh.. it wouldn't be so freaking aweful if I hadn't of gotten severly sick at the same time.. LOL my son keeps making me baloney sandwhiches to eat.. he is so sweet.. everyone who calls here keeps thinking they have the wrong number LOL I can barely talk for more than a minute.. I'm too stuffed up and it hurst my throat.. ohhh I do not make a good sick person.. I want to whine but no one to whine at.. LMAO.. set backs of being alone I guess.. no one to complain too or make them make me chicken soup.. LOL
