Congratulations @Panda Bear a new tattoo is great to celebrate. I remember my last day and I bought myself a hummingbird sparkly pin to represent me beginning to fly again. Oh course back then I did not have any tattoos, which I think is far better. You are free.:laugh::hug:
 
3 one day I might have more than 2 modes - sobbing or dissociating

^^^^ I resonate those feelings after T sessions and/or moving forward ((((hugs)))). Be kind to you, ok?

2. I bought myself flowers and I smile every time that I glance at them.(Even took the time to smell them):laugh:

3. The sun fought fiercely to shine for two hours (in between the flooding and storms)...but I could not find the rainbow!:grumpy:

4. The Wind has taken up target practice with my umbrellas.:meh: So far it is 2 to zero - the Wind's favor. :inpain:

5. I met four people today (as I went to the store) telling me how cold it is as they shivered wearing tee-shirts and shorts in 40 degree weather.:wtf:
Not me...just call me Nanook of the North as...I wear coats.:laugh:
 
1.) For someone with so many challenges, I am still very blessed. :angelic:

2.) Screw growing old gracefully, I am going down fighting. :p

3.) I hope I have helped someone during my time on this forum. :unsure: That is very important to me!!!!

4.) At the risk of sounding conceited, I truly love the man I have become. :inlove:

5.) a.) I must be very brave for I am afraid most of the time and I worry about most everything. :nailbiting::facepalm::dead:
b.) Being human is a such a complex experience, I hope I get it right!
 
When I think of my dad likely having ptsd, I certainly knew some of his behaviours, reactions, circumstances 10x over that could have warranted it, when it came to him and my mom, stuff still came down to the bottom line for him/ them (there was no understanding of ptsd then, but still): re: choice to/ not to, re: cheating, self-medicating, isolating, communicating, suicide, etc. There was (great) love and humility between them. Never a thought of such a thing as ptsd, or as such thereffore ptsd being either an explanation or justification. Despite the presence of all the 'usual suspects' (aka symptoms).

Sometimes I have to choose better, no matter what I feel, or live.

Yesterday I was invisible. Lol. Closed bus door on me lol. Most people didn't make eye-contact, except for angry ones, or creepy ones. It was- ok. Except for the bus lol. Ouch.

@Anrish hope you can sleep. :( :hug: Had nightmares myself, not even sure if for myself or others. :(
