1. I accomplished the impossible- impossible because of me- made it to the closest I have to therapy- church, despite not feeling 'worth it', not sure where I was going, trigger of 2 places, screaming horrendous night terrors last night (thank God I was alone), worried about a work situation today and went over much paperwork on the way, and construction detours. And also self-sabotage because I didn't look up busses or such til a.m. to know if even possible, couldn't bring myself to do it.
2. Was thinking waiting in construction and where I am triggered (a location) this is a Big Mistake.. :( .., & I looked down at my feet thought it was a leaf and it was a little bird sitting there! -It looked up at me and stayed then flew away as bus came right away. I think without it I couldn't have taken it (the bus).
3. Strange thing is, beautiful beautiful place, and love there's people of almost every colour- big and easy to hide in, even balcony I think maybe?, had ('my') Saints statues that I 'say them' to- one for hopeless causes, one for a good confession, one that always shows up with roses and is 'little', one for the Irish, and one I promised not to kill myself to (albeit need the help not to). Also had green knee pews :) (see above ;) ), and lights in the ceiling I remember elsewhere as a child, though slightly different. It was nice to remember , or feel, a 'good' feeling from childhood, of all times.
3. It took shorter than I thought to travel. Saw a bus with paramedics going in it. Then later I got lost, saw the same- another bus wth paramedics in it. On friday my sister was buying tomatoes and a young girl she was talking to minutes later collapsed and was rushed -I mean rushed++- out. :( I did think it would take much longer if I had to head for eg, to chem if I had to, and I'd have to do it (well if I needed it and agreed because of pressure). So this is all we have- 'now- we do not know.
4. So maybe it's not shameful to afford it to one's self? I see myself as resoponsible for myself but not over the hurdle of why investing in myself is 'right'. 5. And true I think- ptsd is like being stuck in time, not just memories intruding on/ in what is present, but the present feeling very distant/ unreal and the past (and all it's 'goodies' :( !) today's reality..
6. Also as versus denying it's not so, being broken just means (we) have to re-assemble the pieces, I mean that we 'can'/ that's part of the goal to heal.
7. Oh yay! Got slightly lost and came across man needing food- what he was asking for- didn't have much but two giant really good chewy Macadamia nut cookies, which I know when I have had no food still all food tastes better than nothing. So I was glad I could give something. :)
8. I am very lucky! :) :notworthy:
9. I'm sure there's more, such forget atm.
10. Hugs for all :hug: xox
