What Did You Do For You Today???

Ditto, Britt.f7, to Gizmo's reply. You took crucial steps to self-care -- simple tasks for others can be monumental achievements sometimes for ourselves. (We have other skills that nonPTSDers don't so easily possess -- a depth of empathy, for instance.)

Showers are tough for me; clean clothes, yeh, that, too; music is always a good choice. So, I say, kudos x3 to you.:tup:

I bought a toblerone.

I need to remind myself though: "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!"

What I really need to do for myself, is to focus on losing the weight I gained during pregnancy. That one will see me feeling much better longer term than a damned toblerone!

BUT... they are awfully yummy. Haha!

I had an hour break from my children around lunchtime today, to remove myself from and all their noise and activity (which I struggle a lot with, major stressor). I'm getting better at knowing when my stress and anxiety is getting too much.

They had fun being noisy with their Dad and I had an hours peace, then I went back home more able to handle the noise :)

Self care is really important for everyone, not just me :)

I was struggling today. I had a person dump on me. It came out of the blue. It was very unexpected. It was in the form of a verbal attack. This is a very complicated situation so i decided to seperate from this person. It felt like a sucker punch and it hurt very much. As I see it the situation is now resolved. I will not associate with people who cross the line like that. So I decided to just walk away. A part of me wants to fight back, but it would be toxic and lethal. Better to bruise alittle than to break into a million pieces over this. So I did something good for myself. Thanks for listening.

(((((Gizmo)))))).

I'm sorry that happened, and you are right to separate yourself from this person/situation.

Having boundaries is very important. And those who cross those necessary boundaries, don't need to be part of your life.

Sorry to hear that you had that happen Gizmo, but I'm pleased to hear about the way you handled it.

I'm going to rest today instead of going with my husband and children to a Halloween Parade. I think my nerves can use the quiet.

When I read Monster1977's posting on another thread about how she managed to take a 15minute walk despite her bad back bothering her, she inspired me to get a yoga session in by noon. It helped center me.

Thank you Shellbell and Bilby for your support and kindness. That was very healing of you to do for me.
I really appreciate it so much.

take a 15minute walk

Ok, I was just going to post how I took a 15 minute walk and now I feel better, lol. Glad it helped you too!

A few days ago I picked my last roses from my garden (I usually don't pick them until this time of yr because I love seeing them on the bush). Anyway, I took the petals off the stems this morning and am drying them so that I can enjoy their wonderful aroma all winter. I shall kept them in a special vase for just that purpose and put it here by my computer.
