I struggle with the same thing. I have gone as far as perfecting my New Zealand citizenship. I have decided moving when my head isn’t right isn’t a good idea sine such a move would certainly add more stress in the short term and quite frankly, I really don’t know who I am. I am not a TV...

Welcome.

I am hanging in there. I took ketamine Wednesday night. I do this about once a week in an effort to calm my nervous system. Yesterday I woke up feeling funky. I went for a bicycle ride and my heart rate was much higher than usual. Today I have been dizzy all day. I slept well and long last...

I came across this stapled to a telephone pole this morning and I wondered what kind of town I live in.

I think she likes yoga.

We all do the same thing. There is no middle ground. We either say way too much or not enough. We manage it and I think that is where we are different.

dishes, laundry, vacuuming and taking the trash out.

I think you have a good handle on it. The holidays were very tricky for me. I would do the family thing and it was just too much for me and I would get overwhelmed and have to leave. By not even thinking about attending such events I am not triggered.

I have been no contact with my soon to be exwife for a year now. I am also no contact with the kids. That is painful but they seem to relay everything to my ex. That said, it has been an empowering experience. Even the slightest contact causes me an emotional roller coaster. I think it has been...

I’m always grateful for little Lulu. But I am super grateful my nervous system seems to be calming down. I am sleeping better and I haves been off sleep meds for about 6 weeks.

Motorcycles of course. I put a new carb on the trials bike I picked up a couple weeks ago. It helped a lot but still not running as well as I would like. The engine rattles a lot, maybe time for a rebuild. It is a two article so that is fairly straight forward. The transmission feels a bit...

I had thought about doing inpatient but I could never get straight answers from the provider as to what is covered by insurance and what isn’t. They were pushing a 90 day program for $70,000. And there would be add ons. A lot of what they were pushing was substance abuse related and fortunately...

We do that, we default to the worst case scenario. Early on I did some CBT and was told to not use words like never in my thinking. It did make a difference. When I get dysregulated I walk through my thoughts and edit out the catastrophic thoughts. It helps me but I still have a long ways to go.

I am in New Mexico for a yoga retreat. This morning a 3 hr hike in the dunes at White Sands followed by 3 hr of yoga. I ache.

Yes. My mother was a violent alcoholic who eventually committed suicide. CPTSD is at the root of all my issues. It is good to dive in early while you still have your life ahead of you. You can save yourself a lot of grief by studying attachment theory as that is where CPTSD from childhood abuse...

For a bull snake it was medium. They have a skinny head rather than the shovel shaped pit viper head of a rattlesnake. They will puff out the sides of their face to appear more like a rattlesnake when alarmed. I always try to get a good look at both the head and tail. Bull snakes also tend...

Just tune it all out.
