Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

Not open for further replies.
My goal was to figure out why I am becoming more depressed, other then the usual reasons. We may have figured it out in therapy. I hope so, because I find that once I know the reason and deal with it, it has less control over me.
 
Let's see... my goals are to go out and do something fun, get some exercise, stick to the self-care stuff (which has been easier for the last 3 days), make sure I'm staying calm and breathing.
 
I kept telling myself I will get something done today, housework, anything, and by gosh I will. I did wipe down the fridge. I almost felt normal. Later I'm running out to do some shopping for Thanksgiving dinner.
 
Today the challenge is to not let the anxiety creep in, in regards to getting together with everyone for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Try not to think about it and just get things accomplished that I need to. Going to be a lot of squashing down of thoughts.
 
We got a bit of snow flurries and around here, that can close everything down if it gets out of hand. Fortunately, it melted and has stopped coming down, so my goal is not to freak out about the possibility of it starting up again before tomorrow, which could close down our church Thanksgiving dinner at 1PM tomorrow.
 
Tuesday - I did manage to go out and have fun, but somehow even that really took it out of me. I did everything else I wanted to get to on Tuesday, too. Totally exhausted on Wednesday... watched movies and slept for over 13 hours straight. Yikes! Who knew fun was so exhausting. ;)

My goal is to get through the Thanksgiving stuff today focusing on trying to stay calm over having everything so so perfect. I've NEVER done that before. We'll see if it's even possible. :confused: :joyful:
