I feel like hammered dog shit today. Man, it is nice to be feeling better!

The rage coming off the zoloft is settling down. Thank God. Nightmares beyond extreme lastnight. One crazy too. Back to not not being able to recall. One that I did I woke in a panic attack full swing. Hubs was practically holding me down, I was having a hard time coming out of it. Then I was trying to get a grip on the attack. Hard ride. The other one I remember waking in panic again but do not recall any of that dream. I remember having two rough spots last night awaking. Hubs said I did it all night swearing it seemed like every 1/2 hour or so to him. I do not remember any of that.

I finally got out of bed this AM and felt so jittery. Y&A's word twitchy is a good description.

Suddenly overwhelmed in sadness with the jitters trying not to have another attack. To suddenly a couple hours later like a big breath blowing threw my soul to calmness. I know, talk about mood swings!

I am so tired but I sure as hell don't want to sleep. The crazy nightmare I recalled bits of I was trying to shed my body, get out of it, it was dying and I had to get out of it. Hey Boo, you are the dream master around here... any clues? Down side I was being told by someone I would go to hell. It had been a while and it jogged the memory of I have had dreams where I was going to be sent to hell before. I could not breathe and woke hypervenalating.

Hubs reading the book is getting better at helping me see things/or him see (and I also see him having his heart broken and reading symptoms and sereverity and looking at me saying you never have done things half assed have you?). It was the middle of the night and he is trying to "coach and guide" me through the attack semi-restraining me and then when I was saying "I am dying, they said I will be sent to hell"... "They keep telling me that". He helped snap me back by saying my name and telling me that someone probably had told me that to control me in the past. (I dont remember it if it is true), but that I am not and that is the past. He was telling me they were lying to me. He seemed to think I was reliving something from younger years.

My muscles are so very sore, I feel like I did more of a work out all night rather than sleep. I may sign off and doze before the children get home, but it is scary. Like a freddy kruger thing, will I wake alive. Last night was pretty terrifying. I know it is nonsense but you know how it goes.

But over all I have improved in massive amounts today over the way the last week has gone. And I clearly see the events of the last week combined with the final cut in zoloft was just the makings for a very hard crash and burn. Seeing it and throughly understanding that helps. Espesially when I see improvement and that it isn't stuck this way.

Will be giving myself a little extra TLC and try not to stress myself until I feel back to par for the course. Enjoy my cats, soft PJs, curl up in a big cozy blanket on the sofa and watch south park while sipping my tea.

Yes, feel like shit, but it is nice to just feel like shit after this week! I know a couple of you were concerned by what my posts reflected. Thank you for being my friends. Wow I said friends :), it means a lot y'all got my back. Hugs!

Oh and Nam, something you told me a while back. Not all memories surfaced are bad. I had another. I saw the inside of a "haunted house" in an ad on TV for halloween, you know the kind you walk through and people jump out to scare the shit out of you? Well, I remember being in one. I also remember my bro there dressed in a huge bunny costume. Well I hated the haunted house as I was too little IMO to be in one but there was nothing bad in it from bro. So you were right. I am sure all the halloween stuff is what pulled it out. But nothing bad with bro in that one, they are coming out slowly.
 
i have had a pretty good day. my husband was sick, so we didn't make it to church. he is getting better now, the fever is gone and he's no longer throwing up, but once i saw that he is ok, i relaxed and did nothing all day.
 
Pumpkins got carved yesterday. We have some pretty funny ones...hehehe. It's weird how each of the family member's pumpkins resemble their personality or looks.

I haven't been sleeping very well. This is telling me that my "high as a kite" feeling might be a bit...manic. Last night it took me quite a while to settle down to sleep. While I was laying in bed, I kept hearing a female voice that would say curt or simple commands. "Sit. Go. Read. Get Back." etc. I was thinking, ok, I'm hearing voices again, that's not good. But then I thought, I'm kinda in a weird state of mind floating between sleep and wakefulness, maybe I should just listen to the commands and try to figure out the puzzle in a scientific way. It wasn't unpleasant, just strange. But I also found out that I had NO CONTROL over what this voice was going to say! It felt quite strange.... Maybe I was soooooo tired that I went a bit :crazy-eye ? I'll be paying a bit more attention tonight as I fall asleep.
 
Told mum about the abuse over the weekend. Just wanted her to hug me but instead I ended up having to reassure her that there was nothing she could have done to protect me.

Having oddest dreams lately talking to people that I haven't seen in years. All I can remember them saying is that I know my part, It's all a test.

Go figure.
 
Anthony, you asked what was on my mind?
And there are so many things I'm trying to work through right now...
It seems like there are too many to list.

As I told my therapist last Thursday...
"I believe these twitches are all physcological.
They are 'caused by all the things I'm working through right now.
Believing that these twitches will dissappear after my mind settles more keeps me going."


Today has been OK,
parent's took me and my boyfriend for lunch while they were in town.
I hated seeing the concern on my parents faces when I couldn't find the right words while I was talking.
Or the shakes while I ate... darn utencils give me away every time, lol

Just trying to think and try to stay positive :)

GR'ass, that's so weird...
ALOT of my dreams/nightmares involve people from my past...
usually old class mates from school
 
Well thank you Anthony,
but I really don't want to 'cause anyone concern.
I know I'm hard on myself,
but I do appreciate (more than words can describe) that I have people here who care.

Don't worry,
if things get too bad,
I know where I can turn to :)

Thanks and make sure you are taking care of yourselves!!!

Y&A:

Reaching out to be concerned for each other is a very healing action. We have to step outside of our PTSD, our lives, our symptoms and emotionally reach out and connect to another person we haven't even met to be concerned. This helps heal us and others at the same time. I can think of nothing more wonderful than that!!

You hang in there and I'm glad to hear you still doing okay!

I feel relaxed today.... upset that my father has not kept in touch after moving into his own apartment but i do not feel like stressing today. My hubby and i had a decent weekend i think...he probably feels more stressed than i but today i feel happy with him and i hope i continue to feel that way. He has been very good to me considering all the crap he is still going through...
 
Mixed emotions today. Kids got off to school wonderfully. They came home having greatly enjoyed it. I spent this morning alone, just plain hurt and somewhat afraid. Briefly saw children. Then napped this afternoon, making up for much lost sleep. Slept through supper. My eating habits are on a downward spiral and need work. Will set out to improve this. Husband came home and provided for kids. Sitting home tonight after just waking up. Husbands out singing. He has a wonderful voice. Day did not go as we had hoped as kids may have missed Karate and dance instruction.

Better days to come!
 
Hell yes.

Had another one last night, only it actually happened.

Nothing like hearing a bullies voice in your ear saying that if you fight him he'll rape you.

I hate this. I want to stop remembering. I just want time out, put life on hold and all that.
