Shout Out To Forum Members - Thank You

[Wastinglight]

This is a shout-out to everyone on this forum who has PTSD, or supports someone who does (Yep, that's pretty much everyone here!).

Every time I visit this forum, and read your stories, I am touch and inspired, and often moved to tears by your bravery, your courage, your compassion, your commitment to getting better, or to supporting others on their journey to recovery.

You are all incredible, amazing, wonderful people. Many of you have helped and supported me personally over the past 18 months, and although my own journey in supporting a loved one with PTSD is now, regrettably, at an end, I want you to know that I still appreciate your advice and friendship, more than I can express.

Thank you again. Remember to be kind to yourselves, and your loved ones – let them know how much they mean to you, every day.

All my best.

I'm sorry to hear your relationship has come to an end. But blessings to you for trying to learn and support a sufferer.

Not an easy task!

I have a whole new appreciation for my spouse as he has lived in a nearly 20yr relationship with me.

He should have left my irrational ass years ago. So I really do mean it. I'm sorry growth didn't come in time for you to keep things going.

We are a hard lot....

Thank you for sharing this! It makes me feel both very happy (for you) and very sad (for me!) to hear this. Yes, it was a difficult relationship, but he was worth it (I just wish he'd felt the same about me). Even though there are days when I am very angry that he gave up on me so easily, I can honestly say I don't regret any of it. I truly hope that he will find happiness before too long. Even if it's not with me. And I wish the same for myself of course!

@Wastinglight ...do not be afraid to hang out on the board as you are going through this. It isn't like we were in-laws and have to take sides ect., you know?:clown::hug::hug:

Hopefully at some point, you may find a board for you...just for you and not about trying to help the "other". However, until then...it's the Holidays and all. Consider hanging around and possibly joining a self compassion thread or meditation thread, or the diary. (((hugs)))

Ms Spock is starting both up shortly and everyone is welcomed.:hug: Just take solid care of yourself dear. Luv and light.

Thank you @Recovery4Me! I'm having a bit of a weepy day today, and this made me cry all over again (but in a good way). I will certainly check out those thread by @Ms Spock - thanks for letting me know!

Yes, I am looking after myself, as best I can.

(((hugs))) @Ms Spock please let @Wastinglight know about the upcoming Challenges- when you have time. Thank you.
