    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    I'm grateful I have all this free time to do fun things, things I want. I'm really lucky. My life is pretty cushy. :joyful: @Definitely..maybe, Re: Grey's Anatomy, that's not silly! That's how I feel about it, too, that and Scandal. ;)

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    Very sad and filled with regret, with guilt and shame mixed in, with feelings of mourning opportunities lost. :unsure: Frustrated. :confused: A little tired (had trouble sleeping). :sleep: But basically, I'm kinda neutral... I mean, yes, I'm experiencing these emotions, but they're not...

    Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

    My goal today was to go out shopping and pickup R's birthday gift. And I succeeded at that. We also ended up all going out for dinner for R's birthday. Totally fun. :laugh:

    What Did You Do For You Today???

    I went shopping and actually got stuff for myself! That rarely happens, I usually make sure everyone else gets something and I get nothing. Anyways, I bought myself jeans and a cute hat, new sunglasses, gloves and some other stuff. It was seriously fun. And I got some Christmas shopping...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    LOL! @DMerish, your post is kinda cracking me up here, seriously, all the smileys. :laugh: I thought I was the only one who needed the visual cues to help me figure out what I'm feeling. :wacky: Sorry you're feeling so poorly @therisa, I hope you feel better soon. :hug: if you want...

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    I'm grateful for shopping, LOL! I got new jeans, and a cute hat, new gloves, new sunglasses and a few other things. Did some Christmas shopping, too. Cool! :cool: I'm glad my family is healthy. (Basically - y'know, I'm a little crazy. :wacky:)

    My First Eye Contact With My T

    Um... another thought. There's this thing I do to practice eye contact, because I know it would be better if I could manage it (I have trouble making eye contact with anyone). When I'm out shopping in a big busy store, I make a special effort to make eye contact with the checkout person...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    Well... my emotions have been a little all over the place this morning. I woke up all freaked out and upset and thinking about how broken and damaged I am. How stupid and ridiculous. I decided to just exercise as soon as I got up, as a way to combat that. It only worked so so. Then I got...

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    I'm grateful for my family. There was a moment yesterday, when they were all standing next to each other and laughing and I was just so very happy. I'm really lucky to have such an amazing family. :hug: I'm grateful for Ancient Aliens. It's truly hysterical. (It's this TV show on H2. So...

    Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

    Yesterday ended up being really fun, because I was relaxing and not doing anything. My eldest daughter came in and hung out with me at 9:00am, really just to say a quick good-bye before heading back to college, but she started talking... and didn't leave until 11:30am! LOL! I love my little...

    How Do I Develop A Positive Relationship With My Weight?

    @therisa, I'm no expert. I have weird eating patterns, where some weeks I eat and some weeks I don't. For years I was so busy I didn't even notice. Now I know and I see how bad it is and I'm handling it several different ways... on an intellectual level, I've decided that it's stupid of me...

    Suicidal Ideation

    @Ghostybear73, I am so sorry this is so stressful, I can't imagine how incredibly difficult it must be. It's a great thing your son is doing, serving his country, but I bet you already know that. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible when you and your husband explain to your little...

    Not Ptsd? But Maybe Not "normal"?

    Me, too... when I go to restaurants, I have to read every single item on every menu before making a decision, and then I usually can't decide and end up getting more than one thing just in case one of the two doesn't work out. It's totally ridiculous. Or I just order exactly the same thing I...

    Thinking About Going Back To College

    Sorry, I think I was a little unclear... Lemme try again. ;) I was trying to say, it seemed like the two English classes were one right after the other on the same day, and that might be convenient and easier. And as for signing up... sign up for what you want online now... but then only pick...

    Thinking About Going Back To College

    Well, then @Ayesha, certainly don't stress about not stressing about getting straight A's! LOL! I'm just joking around. Y'know, straight A's always made me very happy. I get it. I just know that I set unreasonable expectations for myself, and when I stop doing that, well... as hard as it...

    Not Ptsd? But Maybe Not "normal"?

    I never answer the phone! It's always on silent mode. Everyone knows to contact me via Skype. So I'm always on Skype, and when my friends come online, I'm immediately, "Hi, how ya doing?" because I treat it more like a phone. People think I'm so weird. And like, if my kids need me...

    Recognising The Small Positives

    I usually have the most horrible time on the holidays. Either I power through, trying to make everything perfect like Martha Stewart on speed then collapse afterwards, sometimes for days, *or* I freak out, have flashbacks, I'm miserable and just can't get out of bed. This year we just had a...
