Do You Manage Ptsd As Chronic Illness?

@The Albatross - I love the idea based on the Galileo thermometer. I had one of those for years until it accidentally got knocked over and smashed to pieces. This has made me think I might need to buy another one and give your method a go :-)

It is a reminder for me about the necessity for endeavoring to do a day to day balanced life. It is also loosely based on 12 step recovery "the stool" but those three things was the starting point of consistency and from a sound foundational practice that was most often reliable (even 2/3rds was better than 1/3rd and sinking)... it worked for me and was a visual aid that I could understand.
