How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

Ah... nothing like that self punishment again hey Piglet... Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Actually, your just screwed I think... because its family. Talk about a rock and a hard place... geez!

So, there it be Nam... the inlaws where coming, thus the stress buildup. Glad its over. Atleast you have now identified another issue on why you feel that way, ie. something coming up. Isn't it funny how we don't really think about it, but our body and mind just take over for us, and go to work on building stress for us, even though we think where not thinking about the upcoming event.

Todays a good day. Went and did the shopping with bub this morning, cleaned the house all day, cooked dinner, and well... here I am now. Will do a bit of work tonight, though i have to stop to watch a couple of favourite shows on tv... I don't watch much tv, but I do like a couple of shows.

Oops. Just posted work stuff on this thread. Bad idea, even though I don't mention names or anything. Quick bit of editing required! Very busy day. Very tired. 4 days to go til the weekend. 9 days to go til the students leave for the summer.

Ah, good stuff Piglet, a well deserved break for you then.

Great day today. I feel good although I jinxed myself on the insomnia thing. It took well over three hours to get to sleep. Luckily, the girls were really tired and we didn't rise until 10. We went to the library and went shopping (always makes me happier). We went out for ice cream this evening and it was a joy to see my kids have no worries but whether or not their ice cream cone was going to melt before they could eat it. :smile:

That's what makes it all worth it! You can always rely on ice-cream for those small, yet significant moments!

Yesterday afternoon, I started a novel. I finished it this morning at 6:30. So guess what? I'm tired! I wouldnt' allow myself to go to sleep until the villian was dead so I wouldn't "think" he was still alive in my dreams. I was actually afraid of a fictionial character. Not only that, but a fictionial character in a dream! Wow.:crazy-eye

so what was this novel about Nam?
Your nightmares?
If so, thats a great idea.

I'm still feeling quiet.

Don't worry YA, we all have those moments. Just keep going with yourself, and it all gets better.

I know what your saying Nam about the kids, because I tell you what, I would say my little fella definately has played a significant role in my getting better. Basically, you can't afford to be depressed, anxious or angry, because they don't understand any off it, and you have to have yourself together to help them grow, and learn.

Saying that, I DON'T recommend people go out having babies to try and get themselves better from PTSD. It has been said before in my presence... lets just say that.

Another funky couple of days, nothing new to report about my health really, normal as usual. No anger, stress or anxiety... just lots of good days. Dropped my little fella at daycare this morning, tidied the house in just over an hour, and now I get to do some work online.

Doing ok considering. Been to therapy today. Told off for not resting enough - no surprises there! Got back from therapy then straight to work. Didn't stop til just now. Very tired but ok in myself.

Had the worst kind of nightmare last night - probably cos I'm so tired. Was told I have very developed dissociating skills! Not sure that's good, but it's apparently how I've kept myself going through everything. Less expensive than drugs and alcohol I guess!

but a very hard habit to break piglet!!

I've put the novel behind me and I wil need to recover until I pick up another one of her novels...(not for a long time.) Instead, I read another. My husband says that this is my escape from the world. He knows I'm getting a bit off if I'm reading like chain smoking.

 

[piglet]

Holy shit. My brain is fried and I still have loads to do! Had more nightmares. Expect I may have more tonight. Last crazy day tomorrow.

Had an ordinary day yesterday... pretty ordinary to say the least. I think a little depressed, down and moody. What caused it? Well, I actually think it was when I read through the backlog of PTSD news for sorting and editing for here. Reading through some of the stories that occur, impact me, and I thought to myself at the time that they might just have there stake upon me... and they did.

Feel good today, much better again actually. About 24hrs of crap, and I knew what did it, and just concentrated on fixing my brain back up again I guess... mental preparation and self talk did the job.
