I Realize That I

[DharmaGirl]

I realize that this is probably as good as it gets for me, and that I can continue to hone my skills, but I will always have the illness.

I realize that it is truly okay for me to be happy. Now to allow myself that is another thing entirely.

I realize that some areas have really healed! I do not have to be afraid to talk about some trauma. I was not hijacked, hit a flashback or an anger surge. I simply looked back on that younger woman (me) with gentleness and offer her..."We've come a long way! " I feel peace in this moment of facing part of my past with a kind heart.

I realize that I'm finally strong enough to go my way. I don't do anything just to fit in and go far over my limits for this. I know my limits, my ressources and when it's time to drop out. I also don't care anymore about the opinions of others if I don't join them for drinking.

@Anrish Courageous and wise moment in your journey of realizations. :hug:

I realize that things are very difficult for me now. I will get it done somehow. Gosh, I hope that emotional pain subsides faster.

I realize that I forget I can't talk to my family about what I've gone through and how it's effected me.

I realize that it makes me angry that people in my family show so much compassion for kids they hear about on tv who have been abused. But when I talk about what happened to me they're completely silent. It's really invalidating.

I am losing something that has helped me. That my PTSD is winning this one but nothing I am doing is making it ease. I know my choice is flight over fight.

@Nighthawlk :hug: Recognizing it IS doing something luvy. Be gentle on yourself as you wade through it. You are a survivor of the night (or darkness). We are here.

I take way too many things personally and I am the only one who can change that way of feeling and thinking.
QTIP = Quit Taking It Personal
Have to remind myself of that daily, hourly even.

I realize that it is better to give best effort rather than doing nothing. This thought inspires me.

 

[BlackbirdSinging]

I realize that I sometimes push my supporters away because sometimes I know I'm going to give in to PTSD and the symptoms and I don't want to bring my supporters down with me.
