I Am In Control Of My Life

[KP the nut]

It's been a while since I stopped by. In a way I feel sad as I miss my friends here.

I am now just about symptom free. It took over 6 years. I'm back driving, I can drive the 100 miles to visit my daughter. I still have my therapists voice in my head helping to keep me calm, but I can do it.

I get the occasional wobble but know how to self care and do what is best for me. I have learned to say 'no' and not be everything to everyone.

I am even losing weight. So far I've lost 4.5 stone.

I'm going on holiday soon to Ireland. I'm flying which stresses me but will put my coping techniques in place. I ask to be boarded first, just saying I'm a nervous flier subject to panic attacks. Airlines are usually accommodating.

Stay strong. I couldn't imagine myself 7 years ago being where I am mentally now. There can be life after PTSD.

For now I am happy. Gentle hugs xx

Thank you @The Albatross, @gizmo. @Silver-lr many thanks and nice to meet you. I still see a couple of members in the real world and if I get to international travel, I will definitely let everyone know and maybe meet up.

I'm in England and as it isn't raining, I'm heading into the garden with Hubby for a glass of wine and a game of scrabble - yes, I have my very exciting life back lol xx
