| | 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. |  | |

Train ride into Melbourne, short walk, motocross, back on the train later tonight, back home.

| | I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have a sick child at home, have a dutch test, have to ready the car for a trip tomorrow, load up all the summer stuff in the truck, wash dishes etc.. Plus the new therapist today.. My brain is just whirling right now..
So, I'm going to enjoy some coffee, watch some Dr. Keith, and try and relax for an hour then tackle everything one step at a time...
It's gonna be a long day and I'm exhausted. I'm not sleeping again. Guess it's time to start on the meds already. Damn.

| | My week has shot up this evening/afternoon. I got a nice long nap and feel like I am pretty much bouncing back out of the crash from my trigger. The kids are yelling and not doing chores and I could careless, at least I am not letting it get to me! Let hubby have at it when he gets home soon to deal with, mean huh?
I am in a relaxed state of mind for a nice change! Feel like curling back up in bed, but not in the depressed way, just lay down enjoy my soft bed and the breeze; let my troubles just float away. I haven't felt this well in a long, long time. Thanks for the support guys, would not have been able to do it without everyone of you!!! |

| | Had kind of a numbing day. The paxil is really kicking in, but my body is still trying to get use to it. Only been on it for a few days now. We are in the process of moving so my hubby packed boxes all day long. I just layed on the couch all day. I wasnt stressed about anything, but I could tell it bothered him. He kept asking if I was depressed. I wasnt, I just didnt feel like doing anything. I told him that my body was still getting use to the meds and that I would be back to normal in a week or two. Not very convienient seeing as how were moving back to NC next week and at the moment neither one of us are employed and we have no place to stay. But oh well. My meds are not allowing me to get stressed about it. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. I feel like I went so long being stressed that once my body hit its breaking point, now I need time to heal before I can stress again.
I am kind of bummed about my dog though. I have had him ever since we have been engaged. Hubby got me the dog I asked for for 6 months when we got engaged. But he was old when we got him at the humane society. His health has deteriorated drasticly since the baby was born, and especially since weve moved out here. He has lost a lot of weight, and wont raise his leg to pee, and is having more accidents. I originally just chopped it up to old age because I couldnt afford to take him to the vet. But Today I realized he couldnt see. He can barely get around and he keeps walking into things. He cant even really smell or hear correctly. I feel so bad. My brother use to be a vet Tech and told me that it was because I didnt take him to the vet months ago and now he is getting worse and will die. I dont know what to do. My credit card only has a $200 limit and were barely going to have money to get home next week. This just hasnt been a great week. Although Im on meds and Im not responding to the stress, I know that it sucks. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
