Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

[Britt.f7]

Went out twice today. Pretty good.

Doing okay with the self-care, except that nightmares are really messing with my sleep schedule. :confused: Things aren't too bad yet, but I've got to get this fixed before things really go to hell and I can't sleep at all, or for only 3 hours a night or whatever. :dead:

It's going to be a pretty relaxing weekend, I think. :joyful: The kids have a lot of plans with friends, which I don't need to do much for, so I've got some time to myself. I really want to get back to feeling better. :D

Still doing okay with general self-care, except I'm not getting enough exercise. I really, really want to fix that today, but I can already feel myself coming up with 6,214 different excuses not to go over to the gym and walk around the track. :confused: I also want to get to the store and buy a couple things for myself that I've been talking about for months. :joyful: I love shopping. :smug: Hmmm... this is maybe for this next week (not necessarily today), but I really want to get back on track writing in my Trauma Diary and my personal journal. :O_o: I also want to try really hard to meditate at least 3 times a week (what I really want is daily, but I gotta start somewhere). :D

I showered, and got a few things done around the house. When I first started waking up I thought for sure this was going to be a bad day, so I fell asleep. I woke back up an hour or so later in a better frame of mind. I flooded the basement and backed up the sink, but, other then those minor fiascos, I am keeping on track.

Let's talk Sunday first... I did get over to the gym and I spent 30 minutes there Sunday afternoon. So that was good! Right before I went to the store and I ended up buying some cardigans and tops that I had wanted for a while. I got some really good deals, too, so it was nice that I waited and things had gone on sale. I haven't gotten back on track with writing yet, besides going on and on AND ON on the "What are you feeling?" thread so that's still on the list of things I want to do. And I haven't been finding time to mediate. I should have done that yesterday, but I didn't. So, that's another goal I'm still working to achieve.

In addition I think it's only fair to mention... well, Monday was kinda a bust for self-care. It was a bad PTSD day. I didn't eat healthy or low carb (I ate really bad for me food at lunch AND dinner), my sleep was bad both Sunday night and Monday night, and I didn't exercise at all on Monday. I did manage, barely, to stay on track with vitamins and water, and that's the best I can say for Monday.

For Tuesday, my goals today just revolved around getting back on track with self-care. It's all incredibly hard for me. As a kid, well, nobody really cared if I ate or not and it always felt so unsafe to fall asleep... I was pretty neglected. But I did eat MUCH better today, sticking to healthy food and limiting the carbs I consumed a lot and some of the other key things I've been focusing on. Sometimes I fall off track. At least it was only for a day and a bit... not weeks. Hmmm. Oh well, it happens.

For Wednesday... this is pathetic, but it's where I am at the moment. I need to shower. Wear people clothes. Perhaps go out and seek sunlight instead of living like a vampire (like I did yesterday and today).

Found out I lost weight, a little, by stepping on the scale. Now I have to try and not sabotage myself which is what I usually do when things start going the right way. This is going to be hard to get pass that. I have to keep this going positive. This is my year to lose weight, no sabotaging.

I exercised today and then I took my son to get his letter jacket. My suggestion. I made it out the door.
