Hungry Reluctant to get up and eat something Guilt for not going to sleep earlier Self-critical for being so nervous I couldn't sleep earlier Slightly sad

Great thread! YES! I absolutely want to bring light to the good things I did today. I heeded my friend's "guilt-trip" (it was good advice :) ) to set my alarm and I got up early enough to go to a church I rarely attend because it's so early in the morning for me. I got to see old acquaintances...

I am in cranial-sacral therapy, which is a hand-on healing modality. It is the ONLY thing that has helped my CPTSD. I also shake under duress and CST helps to locate where the trauma is stored in the body and what it's trying to tell us. Every CST is very different, and not everyone will take to...

I'm also saddened by this one - my longtime college friend who I haven't seen in a year made a self-centered/insensitive remark while we were talking about the difference between PTSD and CPTSD and it really hurt me. I'm annoyed, frustrated, and feeling helpless/hopeless that even people who...

As for what I've accomplished most recently - signing the lease to a new place back in the city and out of this horribly lonely and repressive rural suburb!

This resonated with me very much. I've just passed the 1-year mark of being in recovery for TBI. It took me a really long time to be able to write about it (partly b/c I lost my vision for several months and I still can't stare at words for too long). I think it took me around 8 months before I...

I'm not the only one!!!!!!! I'm so relieved, although sorry to hear you also suffer from this. I have to get myself to bed by a certain time, otherwise it's game over. If I go to sleep early enough, I can get in the hours I need, but if I go to late, oh well! Unfortunately I have had to take...

I too need sleep! But more so I need rest. And peace. And stillness within. And I need someplace I can call my own where no one will bother me and ask me inappropriate and nosy questions about my family history.

Current compliment: You've come such a long way - I'm proud of you for your willingness to grow, learn, and transform :) Affirmation: I am able to take care of myself, to protect myself, to receive love, and to have agency and power in my life.

To get away from this boundary-less person in the house and into a better temporary housing situation until my actual lease starts - and protection from this person as long as I'm here!!! May I not be affected by her and let her problems be her problems.

The wife/mother of the family I'm staying with temporarily trampled over my boundaries and kept asking nosy questions about my family (abusers) today even after I told her I didn't feel up for talking about it at the moment. OH I EFFING HATE HER RIGHT NOW.

Praying for everyone suffering physically and otherwise! May God bless you with the abundant grace you already have and deserve! May you rest. I am asking for prayer for a quick healing of my IBS and what is likely SIBO. For my body to repair as God intended and to have my freedom of eating of...
