Goal For The Day

[Charmedone]

My only goals are to not have a melt down in front of people and to walk down stairs.

To remember to buy a birthday present for a friend.

I have to complete the insurance forms for my long term disability application. My therapist has completed what he has to and I have to complete my portion - but I'm finding it very difficult.

 

[Charmedone]

To make a call I am nervous about making.

Finish weeding the garden before 10:30 : UV starts kicking in and can't stay outside thereafter cause of my cancer.

This is the same goal I have written before, but I need to keep it in mind for the next two weeks. The incredible anxiety, insomnia, panic, etc. is a result of the steroids and how they impact my brain. They make my PTSD symptoms go way out of control.

My goal for the next three weeks is to keep using the tools that I have to function, take anti-anxiety meds as needed, and do whatever I can to make it through each day. But most importantly, I have to keep reminding myself this is the medication and not some personal failure. I also need to remind myself that once this round of treatment is over, the increased anxiety will subside and I will feel better.

I also need to keep reminding those around me this is my normal reaction to the medication and they are not to take it personally. I am withdrawing from those around me as I am unstable and I don't want to snap. Walking a tight rope.

So far my day seems to be going well. It's about 9 in the morning and I am awake! :)

I do have a bit of work to do today. Buying food, a bit of cleaning up the house.

But mostly my goal is to remain calm and to take things slowly while I am out shopping. No reason to rush.

Do the basics of self care. Do the morning chores. Go food shopping. Get a mocha frappe. Put the groceries away. Go online and post and read. Watch tv. Fix dinner . Do the dishes and relax. Go to bed.

Today my goal is to actually get to the goals I've set the past couple of days. I get so lazy when I'm sick!
