5 Things I'm Thinking Today

I keep trying to think my way out of having PTSD and after 17 yrs., I have finally decided it is not working too good.

I think that no matter how good I am, how hard I pray, how much mindfulness I practice, etc. I am still going to have PTSD at the end of the day.

So, I think I may be better off just giving up on the cure that I have secretly and desperately wanted so much, and trying to accept that there is management..(but no cure).

I think that this may not come so easy for me.

I think I will try to just let myself be, today.
 
I think my dog waking me up at 3Am was not cute..as she is snuggled in her blanket and I am wide awake.
I think I am doing very well not having contact with my son.
I think Texas weather sucks.
I think there is two mice on my house. I will go get humane traps today and let them loose in the woods when they are caught.can't bring myself to kill them.
I think (I know!) this is the only place I am heard.
 
1. Caught the cold that has been going around the office, even after taking every precaution and being in a separate space. :banghead: Just need to make sure I don't get pneumonia again. Seems to be my favorite disease and that is what anything turns into.
2. Rest, good meals, some fresh air are the main priority today.
3. Someone forgot to tell the Newfs that I am under the weather and they are already bringing me toys and barking at me to play.
4. When did I learn to be bossed around by dogs?
5. You can never make up for lost time, its just gone.
 
Would I ever be taken seriously enough in the disability arena due to the incompetence of the multiple professionals I dealt with who chose to ignore ptsd, or would I be made to go through the hell of being diagnosed all over again?

What would I do if I ever lost my husband?

Will my mood lift and momentum shift in this day?

Do all those folks no longer wish to interact with me choose not to because of me, or because of their perception of me, or because of the reflection they're not prepared to see?

It seems one compliment/kind notion can fuel a day's worth of happy, but one insult can fuel a lifetime of low self-worth. Be kind, dammit.
