| | 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. |  | |

| | My days are all over the place lately. Up, down, inbetween.... the problem is; I miss my kids and its tearing me apart. Problem also is that I have to have a lot of patience awaiting my solicitor and the legal system in order to just get to see my kids without Kerrie in toe. Life does suck at times.... |

| | Hey, much better day. Still having trouble sleeping night time, isn't helping that Luke changed jobs and starts work at 1am. Means the majority of the night I sleep by myself :( It used to be that I had trouble sleeping in the same bed as L, but now I have the bed to myself , I find I can't sleep at all.
I'll start to dose off then startle awake, feeling like He's there. Then I get up and do my rounds, checking windows, doors etc. One nights sleep is all I ask. One night, no interuptions, 1am-9am and I will be happy. Hell, I'm not bloody greedy, I'd even go for anything more then two consecutive hours.
Waking up heart pounding. . . . so not fun.
Strangest part is, I have finally realised that it isn't normal to wake up with your heart pounding. It isn't normal to feel like you are going to pass out when going into a shop. It isn't normal to have visual/ auditory flashbacks and it sure as hell ain't normal for the PITA voice to keep tormenting me.
:hugs: yeah that ended up being a vent again.
At least I've done some housework today. I now have clothes and clean dishes (oh the clothes are clean too ;)) |

| | For me when it gets like that my husband puts life "on hold". I take on getting out of bed and at least sitting in living area. Next day we may add a shower. Then we keep that up to add kids to come to me instead of him. Very small baby steps when it all gets to be too much at once. I can never just jump back in, must always ease in. |

| | Well, the sun has risen. The wind is blowing with my yard covered in yellow and red leaves (it is so cool to see Fall in real life but I have never owned a rake and guess I need one). The temps are crisp and I can't recall sleeping last. Little one was dressed up by me to send to MIL in hopes I can finally get rest as I am starting to finally feel sleepy. Just bad heart burn and anxiety is all that annoying me.
My foot is killing me and turned an ugly purple in the arch and swollen pretty well now. Stepped on the wood block good! My little one asked if her colored plastic blocks would do that while I dressed her. I said no. She said so I can leave those all over the floor? Wiped out, hurt foot, and covered in muscle pain for a few days and she still just cracks me up. I want her to be 3 forever.
Not sure where my days are starting or ending as of late but this one seems OK so far, I smiled. |
