How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

[piglet]

It's very quiet around here. I hope that this means everyone is out having some relaxation and fun. :)

Not a bad night for me. Up early, cos my brain's doing too much thinking. Off with the dog before it gets too hot! 30C today apparently. Summer is here!

Yep, quiet is sometimes a good thing. I am taking a few days off to relax... meaning as little time online as possible this weekend. Will get back into it in a few days.

You take it easy Piglet, and relax yourself please.

Hey Piglet, Y&A, Anthony, how have you been?
Im glad this party thing is over. It was pretty and all, but it was way to stressful to be worth it. My family seemed to enjoy it though so I guess it served it purpose.
I've been really tired because of it. I don't feel so well. Headachs, nasua and I just feel real tired, like my body is hanging on my bones.
Mentally, I think I wouldn't be doing good, but I'm to tired to be affected by trauma. Ha ha. I wonder if that's bad or not.
Well, I have stuff to do, but I'll take it slow with lots of naps.
Hope to see you tomarrow!

Great to hear you made it through in one piece. Rest easy as you can and congratulate yourself on a job well done!

Hey Shadow,

Good stuff, and congrats. So how is the stress now? Back to normal, or still slowly winding itself down? You rest up and take it easy hey... look after yourself a bit after all that.

Not a bad day really. Forgot to bring the dog home, so had to go back up the hill to get her. I was not popular - poor dear thought she'd been abandoned! Taking her for a nice walk this evening to make it up.

LOL... the last few days have all been good for me, no change really at all. Life motors along its merry road and I just jump on for the ride nowadays... quite relaxing really. I feel pretty relaxed anyway!

Today was OK, got a new med added to the mixture...
but it should help with nerve pain (although that's its secondary use), so that's good
Just really felt quiet the last couple of days,
I've been online here everyday reading everyones posts...
just not in the right mood to add my two-cents

Medication induced calmness... exactly what I need right now
Lets me have a moment to sort my thoughts out.
At least till I get a better handle on all this.

Your doing just fine YA... keep going the way you are, because I think you can already see changes within yourself, I can anyway, but it does take years before you will for the majority of the time, be past it all, if you work at each symptom, each trauma. It does get better... but it doesn't happen overnight, in a few months, or even a year... it takes time, but continuous work and effort on your behalf, great support, you will get past the worst of PTSD. Then you just have to maintain it... thats another challenge in itself, but nowhere near the hard time to get past the bulk of the issues.

Hang in, keep your head up, and keep pushing yourself further and further, even when you don't think you can, thats when you need too.

There has been lots of changes...
it IS getting better, slowly things are seeming to calm down
which is exactly what I need right now.
Just trying to get through all the BS and sort myself out

Don't worry bout me... I'm pretty strong
I'm determined to get past this...

Have 3 doctor appointments today,
it's overwhelming just thinking of going, lol
at least I only have 2 more to go! (already went to one)
Hope to get some things done around the house after if I'm up to it :)

Hey YA! Good to hear you're doing ok. I'm pretty much coming out of 2 and a half weeks of "stress mode". I know this because I feel absolutely wiped out. I sat down when I got home from work and then woke up over an hour later! It was PROPER sleep! I still fell exhausted, but better in myself, as I seem to have stop the mind racing worry, despite the fact that nothing significant has changed today.

Hope your other appointments went ok. My doc appointment was quite good yesterday -I don't have to go back for a month unless I want to, so I just have to go for the therapy. This is good, cos I always get wound up about going to the docs - as I'm sure you can identify with!!

 

[YoungAndAngry]

Hey Piglet!
Well, for me it depends on what Doc appointment it is...
some are WAY more stressfull than others.
Appointments with Surgeons... I'm a wreck, lol
Therapists/Psychiatrists/Head Docs stress me even more
Unfortunatly I'm not as lucky.. I have min 4 appointments a week
That's OK though, at least I'm being taken seriously.
And it's what I need to get better.

Make sure you are getting enough rest,
I know you're a hard worker and you don't want to burn yourself out!

Anyways, so Doc appointments went OK,
just at home chilling now
So far... so good
