Still Small Flame In The Dark

This is a thread about the parts of your life with PTSD that require you to guard or carry a still, small flame in the dark. There are parts of the self or the life that require attention. And the flame can be snuffed out many times, but somehow you find a way to light it again.

I guess I'll start. And I intended this thread to be as "Victories" because these are small victories that have to be won regularly.

For me, it's:
  • Walking with my eyes up and not on the ground
  • Remembering my spouse's feelings and being present for him
 
What helped you to be able to do that? :tup:

I can't seem to get a move on about a dental visit.
 
My husband nagged me. :P

He knows how bad I can be about making appointments and putting off messages. He's been a godsend for me. <3
 
I did just blow out a candle I had lit to help with sleep. I turned all the lights off. It was nice.
