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.

Default follow through
I have been curled up in a ball all morning ... now I have to go out and meet my sister who I have been avoiding - she doesn't know about the PTSD ... I wonder when I will have to tell her because I can't hide it anymore. Once she knows, the family will know and then they will put two and two together and know that I have not dropped the allegations against my father and that I am still stuck in the past. That is a day I do not look forward to, when it comes up again it will break up the family and I will be seen as everyone's problem - again! I will have to face the inevitable - face the past again with everyone pitying me and taking sides and this time I will probably lose them all - perhaps that is a good thing. I am shaky. I want to cancel with her, but I know I must go ... I had a shower and now will have to put on a happy face and go greet the world .. I don't want to, but I know I must go so I thought I'd just declare it here so that I follow through.

I made my first post here yesterday.
I cried a lot yesterday.

I made a decision to ask for help here and to try to heal myself.
I cried a lot today.

But I took a walk outside early this morning
the birds were singing and I noticed it.
I picked up a knitting project to work on.
Some hats for my little grand daughters who are 1, 3, and 9.

My son moved out last week to start college.
I miss him terribly.
This make 4 grown and moved out of the house.
My youngest son is 12, 13 in Sept.
so at least I have 1 still in the nest.




Sona

thanks
Sona

I didn't sleep enough today- never a good start. I am tired. I'm zero for one on the planned social engagements for today. I would like to go back to bed but I know I would just lie there unable to sleep. Although sleep seems elusive today, doesn't mean social contact needs to elude me as well. Chalking one up for making an effort not to isolate. Hopefully a shower will wake me up.

Default my day
I'm recovering from a broken ankle (car accident) but that is healing nicely. I even managed to clean one of my bathrooms on one leg lol. Had to do it though because the in-laws came over for coffee today. I woke up feeling really down, and I did some of the breathing and meditation excercises that my therapist gave me to do and that really helped. By lunch time I was actually feeling pretty chipper and had my sense of humor back. Going to watch a movie tonight, and my boyfriend just went out to pick up supper, so it looks like a nice relaxing evening.

Admist everything, enjoyed two recent zoo and amusement park trips with the family in this last week.

Tonight however is Tuesday, and if it's not one trigger it's another, Tues. nights however are certain triggers as I regularly go out and revisit the like-scene and like-characteristics of too many a once offense, violation and abusive experience. ....whatever

I woke up nervous about money and the new dating thing.

I'm using my box of tools to change my thinking. I'm realizing how wonderful I truly am and how dedicated to my healing I am.
Good Job Ter

Pretty good today. Had to get my furnace fixed, but it turned out to be under warranty which saved me 3 or 4 hundred bucks. I got my new meditation CDs as well, kinda looking forward to trying them out. Sending out best wishes to Cindy, one of our own, who is struggling right now.

Hi everyone, my first post here in this thread.
So far today I got thrown for a sixer earlier today, read something in the news that was a bit triggering. However I had a really great day yesterday, doing stuff I love doing, so although I paniced this morning I am going to have another good day, because I will!
