Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

[winterose]

It's rainy here nothing much to do at this point. Bro went back on the road last night so he will be gone for the week. Think I'll just have a day to myself. Spa Day yay! Do a facial that kind of thing. Think Ill throw some buffalo meat in the crock pot and make a stew for the week. It's light enough it won't irritate my system.

Monty Python goes grocery shopping with PTSD

Don't you worry one minute about this! It happens to many people. Just yesterday I was trying to get a box out from a display, because of course it was in the middle, and my husband jumped in to help me. The way he reacted, you would have thought I made a habit of knocking things over!;)

Besides, I use to work in a grocery store. I think the stockers must get bored sometimes and set it up just right to cause an upheaval! Breaks the monotony of the day. :laugh:

Today I am going to go to church, on my own and just for me. It is something I haven't ever been able to do if I didn't go with someone else. I don't know if I have the faith I did as a child before bad things happened.

OMG, roflmao Britt, remind me to make sure I am not drinking anything when you post. LOL...I needed that laugh. Very well said Britt.

Last night, I finished the book I was reading, Coldheart Canyon by Clive Barker. Such a fantastic book. And I'm pleased with myself for actually finishing it. I can find it difficult to focus on things like books, as much as I love reading them. Usually too much going on inside my head.

Goal: finish Weaveworld by Clive Barker, which I started this morning.

It is too dangerous to go in the surf today. So I will be wise and not do that.

I will really change my life by doing the PTSD challenge with my helplessness zone by cleaning and rearranging my home.

Saw my new psych for the 3rd time today.
Went pretty well, although he thinks that my PTSD has subsided greatly in the past year or more, to the point where he considers me to be 'Mild'.

That may also have something to do with the fact that my new medication Pristiq, has given me a new handle on things.
He thinks that there is a great case for me to get much better, to the point where I am functioning somewhat normally, and perhaps even get off medication for good!

I am pleased with myself for going and doing something for me, and even more pleased that I helped someone on the bus today who was lost, who turned out to be from my home town, so I made a friend and promised to look him up sometime!

Now to have a nap, 5 hours on public transport is not very pleasant.

My goal is to continue to potter around and continue cleaning up.

I will take one small bag of stuff to a charity bin and another small bag of stuff to the garbage skip outside.

Op Shops are amazing when you don't want to bin something, but you know you shouldn't keep it.
I'm feeling pretty good after my nap, so I think I'll have a shot at my homework!

I'm on a freshly baked roll people!

I seem to be in hyperdrive today so I've accomplished a lot. I cleaned my office at work, I was able to tolerate eating lunch in the lunch room with five other people at work (ok maybe dissociated during that but I did it), came home and cleaned my kitchen and made a delicious dinner for me and four of my boys. Hyperdrive days are my way of coping when I don't want to give myself time to think so they aren't necessarily good for exposures and overall progress but they do allow me to accomplish many things in a short period if time!

 

[71nothing]

Today's goal:
1. Stay grounded while taking my mother to a doctors appointment.
2. Keep myself busy enough at work that time doesn't drag. Leave my office once or twice and be social. Maybe even eat in the lunch room again.

Writing on my blog, since it is usually something personal. I told my therapist I didn't write in a journal, she knew about the blog. She said it didn't matter if I was typing/writing in a journal because I write on my blog. That was relieving. It can definitely be cathartic.
