I did rest yesterday and I did get everything done that I was responsible for. So that's good. :) Today I'm really feeling under the weather (shouldn't have said anything about liking to be sick, am I right? ;)) and I'm just going to have to take the day off and rest. I need to follow...

I did get some rest yesterday afternoon, felt a bit better, and then I went out last night to do things that were already planned and on the calendar. I had a really good time. :joyful: But today I'm feeling really, really sick. I can't talk, my throat REALLY hurts, blah, blah, blah. So...

Less electronics is always better. It's hard to deal with the noise and all, but it's always better in the long run, for everyone. But really, I'm a hypocrite here... I let my kids get away with way too much time with their electronics, because it's easier. I think I'm going to take your...

Kacee, Wow. I have to say... all that asking you to marry him stuff... that just strikes me as wrong... like you said, manipulation. He's just trying to get you to continue to put up with him. I think you're very strong and you deserve better! You deserve a man who treats you really well...

That's me, too. I tend to laugh a lot or make jokes to make people relax and feel comfortable. But I think that is so-PTSD... trying to make everyone like me, make everyone happy... to assure myself that nobody around me will want to hurt me. It's really hard not to do that... and take a...

I agree! :laugh:

Jeez... now I've got a cold. I'm so hoping to get back on track tomorrow! :confused:

I did okay yesterday, and I'm proud of that. I wasn't super controlling but I did try to balance things out so that the most good things happened. It wasn't a perfect day, but I was calm and didn't freak out. The only downside... today I have a cold. So, my goals for today are to do what I...

I'm grateful for having people to help me and being able to rest up and feel better (I caught a cold... sore throat, coughing, that sort of thing). I'm really lucky that I have family to take care of me and the time and space to lie down, watch TV and hopefully get well soon. :joyful:

You will do it! I believe in you, definitely! :joyful: I'm glad your sense of humor is resurfacing. I think it's the #1 best thing to have when fighting to overcome PTSD! This is really good advice, and I need to do more of this in the future. I tried to do something like this... I asked...

I think I knew that about your daughter. I'm so sorry everything is so complicated... but I'm actually proud of you for protecting yourself from someone who is abusive to you! That's so important, but it must be so difficult as well. Lots of hugs :hug:, if you'd like them. You deserve to be...

Thanks @Britt.f7! You know just what I mean! I'm sorry about the cat scan and all the doctor stuff... it can all be so invasive and awful. When they pace your heart, yikes, that sounds terrible. I'm sorry you're in pain, so sorry. Hang in there, I know you'll get through it all okay! I...

Everything is crazy around here today. :wacky: I doubt I'm going to have any time to myself to get in any walking or exercise. :unsure: But a day off once a week is good, right? :confused:

I'm so frustrated! :banghead: Why does everyone expect me to know what to do and how to fix everything so everyone is happy?! :confused: I'm the super crazy person... why the hell is everyone looking to me to figure things out? :wacky: It was just a week and a half ago that I was super...

@Britt.f7... best of luck today and tomorrow. I like how you're focusing on the good things... like going out to eat with family, and enjoying that. I hope you feel better soon! Let's see... I'm not sure what the plan is today. Everything that was planned has flown out the window... and...

I'm grateful for my warm house and that I'm so lucky to have so many good people and good things in my life. :joyful: I'm really trying to remember this today, because I'm really frustrated with how things are going! :banghead:

To everyone who's having a difficult time, I'm so sorry! I'm hoping things turn around soon, if possible. :hug: Hugs, if you'd like them. @DMerish, I *cannot* believe how rude your son was being to you! You do him a favor, and this is what happens? I'm so sorry! (I would never give up on...

I'm grateful for all my beautiful teenage kids! :cool: And for my husband, who puts up with so much from all of us! :joyful:

Happy. :joyful: A little tired. :unsure: Pretty okay in general. :laugh:

I did go to the gym yesterday, did lunch, went to therapy, went shopping, cleaned the house and worked on school stuff. Excellent. :cool: My goal for today was just to hang with the kids on the last full day of winter break. We had a great time! :joyful:

Did 30 minutes of walking today. :joyful:

I'm thinking that I wish I had more confidence in myself. I hate that I second guess and delay and screw up instead of just doing things and getting things done. It's annoying. It's not who I want to be. Some days I really hate PTSD. I hate that I have all these irrational fears and...

Hahaha! :laugh: Guinea pigs are awesome. I wasn't planning on going to the gym today (it's super cold here, so I wasn't planning on going out) but my husband had to run errands, so I did end up going. He dropped me off and I got in some time on the walking track. It's nice, there are a lot...

:joyful: Did well yesterday. I did go to the gym, I went shopping and I started getting ready for homeschooling to start up again. We're starting on Wednesday, though, since my son has another snow day on Tuesday (super cold here). :coffee: My goals for today are to go to the gym, make...

I'm so grateful for my nice warm house on this super cold day. :) I'm thankful my son has two snow days (today and tomorrow) which gives me more time to hang out with him :cool: and more time to get ready to get back on our homeschooling schedule with our daughter :D (she's very excited to...
