Baffled But Willing To Try

[Nicky31]

I realised what I should have said there is that I haven't had a day like that since joiing the forum specifically linked to the forum. Sadly I have many many exhausting days where the triggers are set off EVERYWHERE

OFD and Nicky,

Thanks for answering! It's always COMFORTING in the extreme when people talk you though things.

OFD, I relate exactly to what you're saying! It does feel ICKY ( sorry about borrowing a word from my teenager ) to talk 'too much' about yourself, I know!There's probably no such thing as 'too much' except in our guilt/shame/lowww self-esteem PTSD minds, especially here in the forum. I don't think you talk to much about yourself, anyway, because everyone who is brave enough to talk about what's going on in their PTSD lives is prompting more discussion. Plus, there's been so many 'thanks' I've seen here for those that do it that you have to know you're helping people! Being able to get OUT of my 'stuff' and relate to others always makes me log off feeling just plain better. It seems

Today I'm rather anxious and antsy so will log off soon, but it's one of those days where I'll be back later. It does seem to help just connecting here because the exhausting days of endless triggers don't seem so exhausting now, since joining the forum.

I really hope you're feeling some better at the moment. If not then at least know I'm thinking about you all and grateful for everyone's presence.

Take care, ok?

Anni

Goodness Anni!
No wonder you have been frazzled! The things you mentioned sound overwhelming. Any sane person would feel the same as you! Sometime swearing ALOT helps me. Try this: "Shit, damn, Mother f*cker, c*ck sucker and.. TITTS!". The take a deep deep breath and see if it helped. If not try again, repeat as needed.:dontknow:

Thanks OBG!

My internet connection is whifty today, so hopefully I'll get through at least this much before it once again goes away!
You made me laugh! There IS something about just hauling off and swearing the proverbial blue streak, isn't there? "Repeat as needed', like it's a prescription, is just too funny. :)

Maybe docs should write one out like this. I know I feel better from indulging once in awhile. Plus it's free!

Thanks and take care!

Thanks much for the replies!

I genuinely get a kick out of hearing that someone else has that silly dread for having killed a thread! I've posted several times where mine is merely the last post, I know, but when it happens I'm completely convinced for a minute that there's been some recoil away fro ME. :) It's a genuinely solid thought about not hanging out in the forum for too long or one does start to get worried with things like that.
Anni, I look forward to your posts. The way each thread shows who the last post was made by I find very helpful. I look for your name because I genuinely enjoy your kind wisdom and honesty. You a "fav" of mine!

That makes me smile. I don't know if anyone here can ever accept being thought of as wise. :) It's a nice thought though. Thank you very much!

:) and take care!
