You have a point there. My body got me to the same conclusion eventually. Some types of healing can't be forced. You just have to go through it to get to the other side. And then the rest comes.

We have regular heating that is okay-ish. But we are in a house so when it's awful outside(snowstorm etc), we have a wood furnace that you can fire and eventually it overheats the room it's warming and heats up the whole floor. But the smell of like inscents burning (or whatever you do as...

I'm having a hard time. But, I don't want to drown in this feeling. So this is for anyone who wants to join. What is one thing you can do today to make your day or yourself, better? What is something good you can do for yourself, not in the future, but TODAY? Me: I will have a ballet barre...

I must try to be positive and set goals, and take actions even if I feel like things are crumbling. Or else nothing will change magically.

@arfie much appreciated response. To be clear I have cried a lot in the last years and it has been transformative outlet. But at my current space my parents take it as "what do you have to cry about, if you knew how we have suffered" type of thing. Basically I end up have to fight about, or...

I'm scared if I cry I won't stop. I've been trying to relax but it's giving me a migraine. I've been trying to get back on track and plan for a future and it's giving me terrible flashbacks to trying to work and failing this summer. Also part of improving my finances is being honest about any...

I think I'm too exhausted to even think about it. Mostly burnout with a bunch of sudden circumstances on top. But some of it makes me scared if my improvement thus far wasn't just wishful thinking with the reality of the gravity of things hitting now. I hope that's just the fear twisting...

Actually this feeling had been growing for few days, it's why I'm scared. But you're right about basic and self care, I'll try. I don't think I can really do anything else anyway, haven't been able to get up for like an hour. Please, I really need you to be right about this, I'm so low.

I'm scared. Few awful things made my already shaky situation worse. Also had few small triggers on top. And now it's like I'm free falling and I can't stop. I'm in freeze response I think. I keep being in autopilot and knowing whatever I do won't be enough. But then being so triggered I can't...

There is a LOT I have gotten over from when I first got PTSD. However there are things I understand, I have analyzed and talked about... there are certain reactions connected to childhood trauma I just never get over. Even when I go through something and it's fine, more than once, it's like my...

Stable finances that don't crumble from one setback I'll get there but it will take some time and concentrated effort. I will make it happen though. My body before PTSD when I was lean without trying too much and because of ridiculous diet culture still didn't think it was enough. (Think...

I need one too. Rough end of the day, panicking a bit ...

Ohh!! Sending you many many warm hugs, hope you feel better soon! There are such times, hope it passes soon! 🙏 🫂 🫂 🫂

Nevermore *rewatched Wednesday recently and I'm obsessed... especially when I can't sleep

I haven't been this scared about finances in months. Can we get back to normal?

I hate flashbacks Why am I frozen I can't take all the things I can't change anymore I am so ready for new week and a new year I can't breathe and my head is spinning and I can't think clearly

Sometimes you don't get you're drained until you haven't done anything for 2 days besides obsessively watch TV. I'm scared and tired and sad and hurt but of course that isn't helping. Fresh start tomorrow, early night tonight. I'm not going to let this be an "can't do this anymore" moment again...

@mamachick how are things going this week with the health concerns? Anyone around today? None of my work this week is pann8ng out and since I am yet to rebuild any savings I'm so scared and avoiding doing stuff. I know it's counterproductive but my body also feel in freeze mode...

Weird one, but contractubex scar gel - each country may have different one but if you type it in Google it pops as "silicone scar gel" on Amazon. It was recommended to me when I had knee injury. After reading the label I used it for a bit on old acne scars and they did actually begin to fade. At...

Yup... this year has been ALL the things at once. All unfortunate life things in one (isn't that how it tends to go). I sort of made my peace with some of it but I have lots m8re to learn. There will be ups and downs. I guess this week is at the downs where I feel like more is happening but I'm...

Rewind the week and get more time, everything is getting so anxious so fast.

OK, this is stupid, this is so stupid in perspective, I know... I'm just so entirely sick of everything and all my patience is popping off. And because I'm anxious choosing one small thing to allow myself to do without breaking my effort is kind of testing me. I'm just... I'm so anxious I...

I have been on sort of a rollercoaster this year between submitting to problems and trying to improve things. For about month and a half I have been trying and I think today I'm losing it a bit. Or the last couple days. I have been patient. I have set boundaries, even if they weren't always...
