    Public Commitment to Exercise

    I got corrected re the hypermobility by a couple of good teachers, so I make sure not to over extend any more. I keep my legs softened when I do forward folds and such. Yeah, definitely over extending is no good. My online teacher now, is good, always reminding us to bend the legs and I know...

    Shame around being dysfunctional.

    I feel shame over people coming over, as I judge my ability to keep house. It is a work-in-progress: so I don't invite people over. It's just family, who I feel ok around, here. I feel shame, here, in my town I live in, as my abusive-towards-me ex lives here in the village, as does another...

    Public Commitment to Exercise

    I've been doing a pretty fierce pilates routine with my oldest daughter everyday she was over (she came over Thursday evening and left early today, actually, yesterday, it's just gone 12 pm) AND some yoga routines, which are my general go-to. I want to keep doing the Pilates, but it won't be...

    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    I used to have the Tao of Pooh! I loved it! I'm reading a heavy weight whistleblower book too, it's very heavy going, she actually mentions Erin, at one point. I get overloaded and triggered from reading it, so I'm pacing myself. It's about vaccination injury, infectious cancerous...

    What are some of your favourite movies?

    I loved the first couple you mentioned. And Monty Python; also rewatched A Fish Called Wanda the other day. We really enjoyed it. Hey @Digz if you like Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels etc, I reckon you might enjoy "The Gentlemen". I think it's the same director, definitely the same style...

    3 wishes

    I wish it was the norm for people to learn to THINK, not just react, but to seek out coherent information and to create a coherent, empowering worldview, not trying to control other's or make them adhere to a particular worldview, just to be able to weigh up ALL the evidence, information, FACTS...

    Pilates, yoga, swimming, singing for PTSD

    I agree @SecondStar. Have done all those things. I used to sing, actually, even professionally. It helped me recover A LOT, and I learnt to breath properly from that and yoga, too. I mainly do a lot of yoga now, because of where I live and not having the space to do the other things, without...

    Paranoia and ptsd

    Sitting with you @Survivor3 . I can relate. I'm just here, breathing and empathizing, with you. Hope the shitty feelings subside and you can find some soothing and comforting. I've had a lot of paranoia to deal with and was a very frightened child, too. It sux, what you went through. I hope...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    Things are getting better. I am getting better. The future looks exciting. I have good plans and good discernment. All my "wise work" or enwisening work is paying off.

    Unlovable, unacceptable, weird, shunable

    Update; I really feel I have conquered the feelings and cognitive distortions that motivated me to make this thread. I have a beautiful sense of self acceptance and a cherishing of myself, self care and self recognition I never had before. Part of this was recognising that I am on the...

    Breaking the habit of over-explaining

    Yeah. I've been working on this too. I have an over-disclosing habit. I'm making a concerted effort to overcome it. Not in therapy at the moment. I wonder how it works with a T? Finding a balance. Seems tricky. I either over disclose or under disclose, it seems. Also an Aspie, and that...

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    ... When talking to, just about, anyone, 'cept your nearest and dearest, feels too exhausting, and even your nearest and dearest are too much, at least some of the time.

    What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

    Fresh caught Bream, flathead and Tarwin pieces fried in butter, salt and pepper, with a weird salad I concocted of peas, fried onions and mushrooms, rocket, grated carrot and a mustardy dressing and a jacket potato with sour cream and sweet chilli, add parmesan and a wedge of lemon and some mayo...

    Helped my girlfriend leave her abusive ex and all I got was this lousy ptsd

    I can't abide being anywhere near my SO's ex, either. She assaulted me and there just no way I can function without iron-clad boundaries with her and my SO's involvement with her. He's, finally got good boundaries with her, but it took many years. But he (and I) had to let the coparenting run...
