Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

[ms spock]

Goals to get through the biopsy and keep myself reasonable calm.

I did okay with it. If there was a next time then I would speak up about how painful it was.

I will take one of the times my dogs go out to use it to go up and down my steps, at least five times. This isn't easy for me physically or mentally, but I have to push out. I have to quit sitting here vegetating.

Wrap up work at job and begin normalizing work/personal activities once again. Take a nice bath tonight and finish recovering from all the crazy/busy work demands. Really looking forward to that and having time off soon.

Well I did it, but not five times. Only about two and a half. That was more then enough I found out with my chest still filled with phlegm from the cold. Eww. Sorry. My dogs didn't accommodate me more then that amount, and, physically, that was all I can do. For now. ;)

@Ms Spock, I'm super proud of you for being brave about the biopsy. Great job! (I'm so sorry it was scary and uncomfortable and painful, though.) :hug:

@DMerish, Whoa, I hope you're doing lots of things for yourself and getting plenty of sleep. That's a lot of hours you've been working! I'm sure you'll be able to get things back to normal in your life when the pressure at work goes away. :)

@Britt.f7, Y'know what? That's great! It's so good to listen to your body and not push too hard. It's classic for me to push past my limits and then collapse in exhaustion and lose all progress and have to start over again. So... good for you! Do what feels right and keep at it. You'll see, you'll do a little better everyday. And don't underestimate how tired you can get from a cold... I've been doing that all week. Being under the weather is really no fun. :wtf:

:shifty: How did I do yesterday?

Alright, I guess. I ate healthy all day (Isn't chocolate healthy? It was dark chocolate, so y'know... all those important antioxidants were involved. :laugh:), drank a TON of water, took my vitamins, etc. I haven't been exercising though, I've just been trying to follow through on my responsibilities and do what I absolutely have to do. There hasn't really been any time or energy left for working out. And I'm still working hard at trying to stay mellow (LOL! :laugh: Only I could say something like that!) and just going along as best I can until I feel better... both from this cold and this sorta slight depressive slump. :x3:

What are my goals for the day? :cautious:

Just keep at it. Back to basics stuff... good food, lots of water, plenty of vitamins, keep to a good sleep schedule, do what's absolutely necessary and required and then stop worrying about it and just rest. Easier said than done, but I'll manage. :rolleyes:

@EverOnly358 Sometimes the basics are all that can be managed and that is okay. Especially when ill.

Thank you for the encouragement. I have a tendency to jump completely in without testing the waters and burn myself out. This time, I am trying to be good. The cold seems to kind of keep me in check. Bout time that cold did something useful! lol

Hope you get better soon!

Sleep in my bed.

I want to go to the pet store to look at puppies then treat myself to a steak panini at panera bread with the gift card he sent me for Christmas.

 

[EverOnly358]

Did okay yesterday. :joyful: Just going to keep at it until I feel a bunch better, then I really want to get back to my work out schedule and doing a lot of other things on my extended to do list. :laugh: Y'know, maybe next week. ;)

 

[ms spock]

Be present in the now.

Going to go out for the day. Going to keep breathing. Going to fill out a form.
