Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

[ms spock]

To ease off pushing myself so much when I am so sick and in pain. I am a silly billy.

 

[safenow]

To accept that just can't do all I want to do. To not push myself which only makes me worse. To remember that God is on my side, so I need not fear.

 

[ms spock]

I have to go and get all the tests done today. I really feel physically unwell and want to stay in bed. I need to get moving.

 

[ms spock]

To actually rest and allow myself to heal from being sick.

 

[Britt.f7]

To push myself through this dread feeling instead of allowing it to consumer me.

1/ To develop my awareness of the PTSD thinking that tries to talk me out of doing things - it try's to tell me that I can't get a job (no doubt wanting to avoid more trauma). But the thing is I have a great skill set, and I can get the job that I am applying for. I know that I can do it, and I know that I can get it - just have to make sure that my warped thinking does not take over in an attempt to keep me safe - having no job is not safe at all.

2/ Re-do my self-help plan - given what has gone o over the last couple of weeks I think it is time to refresh this. From the comments made to me here (thanks everyone) I have done a pretty good job of addressing my PTSD and family issues during a time of great stress. This tells me that my self-management was pretty good, so I think I just need a bit of a tune-up not an overhaul.

3/ Continue to make sure that my warped thinking does not take over in the erroneous belief that sabotaging my job seeking and getting would keep me safe - because it won't keep me safe at all. The thing that will keep me safe is having work.

 

[ms spock]

Is to not give into the temption to do things but to rest until I am better.

 

[ms spock]

To keep resting. I am really geed up to do things. I have to rest whilst I am sick.

 

[ms spock]

To see the doctors as soon as possible.

I got some diary work done. Sleep has sucked this past week royal. Alot of dreams and waking up in stark terror and sweats. BUT, I haven't let it deter me. I took a break from writing. Went immediately in the kitchen fed the dogs, let them out. Washed some dishes up. Cleaned up the kitchen. Got trash out. Fixed my breakfast and stuck to my diet. Oatmeal and some berries. And Apple Juice. Sitting here eating. Will relax some to see how my GI tract will do. If things are good. Then I got yoga scheduled, a couple phone calls to the Universities. Get outside with the dogs. And you ready for this one. I am going to get my ass into my car, and drive around a few blocks just to get me out and used to the noises and stimuli again.

 

[winterose]

Got everything done except my car ride. My tummy hasn't let up. Back to the bland diet for a bit longer.

 

[ms spock]

Oh

Back to the bland diet for a bit longer.

Oh I am on the boiled potatos and the boiled carrots with tantalising toast for a break. This is how unwell I am. It tastes great!

To do a bag or two of decluttering so I feel like I am getting somewhere.
