5 Things I'm Thinking Today

1. Finally weekend.
2. I was so tired that I was too tired to sleep - my pulse was racing like crazy and I just dissociated...
3. Dancing - just the word is a negative trigger. :cry: ...don't even mention the real thing. I cannot share Cleo's joy when she tells about dancing with people...:( I rather freeze.
4. Will cook filled champignons this evening.
5. When will I ever stop avoiding...? :banghead::bag:
 
I woke up crying and grieving for my father who passed 4 or so yrs ago. I had a good cry. :(
I was hopefully helpful in comforting a friend today. :hug:'s
I think I am spiritually stronger than I ever realized. :angelic::angelic::angelic:
I have healed a great deal of my traumas and am grateful for that!!! :notworthy:
I still wish I could fly. ;):cool::p
 
I'm so very very sorry I triggered you @Anrish !!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :( :hug::hug::hug:
And @lionheart :hug::hug: , and @Heather , and all xox
Glad you're feeling a bit better Gizmo :hug::hug:
Came close to needing 911 this a.m., racing heart, vomiting, chest pains, guess I should have known I had a numb face yesterday. But, I've only called 911 twice for family, one died, and it passed, and I prayed it would/ I would make it, so I was grateful, in a different way. It had been very stressful (not about me, but for me) overnight, probably stress. Oh well. :rolleyes:
Hoping sis & bf go away til tue or wed.
Hugs to all. Xoxox
 
@Junebug : I didn't mean you. It was Cleo telling me about a party...where she had danced. That was much more triggering for me. Don't worry. :notworthy::hug:

You can mention dancing. It's just scaring and don't know...I have to learn to cope with it. I can read about it - it was just not so good when my flatmate told me about it and even moved in front of me...and I just knew that...I'm not able of doing or even enjoying that. :(
 
Love it when I cook a meal and it tastes like someone else cooked it.
Feeling unsettled today, can't connect and lacking focus. It might be kickback from yesterday's day of self care.
My house smells of woodsmoke and candle-wax. The candle-wax is a mystery.
Something is missing.
I wish I could sleep for a week.
 
@jaccat I know that feeling of wishing to sleep for a week. Sending support your way.

1) At some point I need to write out (and maybe send to my T) more about that particular trigger
2) Can't do hugs right now
3) I just spent time liking and getting ready to respond to a thread that is really, really old. Doh.
4) It's hard not to feel "defective"
5) There was something on my "have to do" list for today that I am forgetting

Oh and one more, because I'm trying to focus on positive coping skills.... hmm.....I will make sure I get enough nutrients today
