I Realize That I

[Anrish]

@Tanishq : A big step. Just take your time. :hug: ...the forum always reminds me of taking things step by step. :)

I realize that I'm looking forward to not living alone anymore.

I realize that I'm really tired after my first work day - after my vacation.

I realize that I need to take care of myself or my body will suffer - and I will panic.

I realize that I might have lost two old "friends" because each of us has changed.

I realize that I avoid naps when I don't need to (as if they mean I am being "lazy"); I realize that they are signs I need to replenish my energies, and that, almost every time after a nap I find myself less angry and self-critical -- thereby allowing me to be even more productive.

@Anrish :hug:'s on the tide of friendships with the ebb and flow of life.

I realize that in the moment, I want or need nothing more. I do not chide myself for not being something else. I feel at peace.

Recovery, kudos to you and big hugs.

Anrish I am losing my last two relatives in my toxic family and my husbands toxic family. I think it is the same with me that we have all changed and actually outgrew each other. Big hugs to you as you go through this difficult experience.

@gizmo: Thank you for your kind words...and encouraging hugs also for you in these hard times.

I realize that I'm not used to sleep alone in my bed anymore. I miss someone....

I realize that the attack in France is still in my mind. My best friend draws and I'm a cop...and both were attacked. I realize that I really feel with the people over there.

I realize that it is very important to take rest everyday.

I realize that I don't have to finish all the work at once.

I realize that it's okay to enjoy a glass of honey wine from time to time. (As I do right now. :hungry:)

 

[Let It Be]

I realize that I have come a long way with this OT therapy on my shoulder. I only have one more week and then I'm done.

He told me today how discouraged I was when I started but now realize that with therapy my shoulder is doing better.

I realize that the bonding within the site, as well as the information offered has provided a solid grounding vehicle. I at times have critically judged myself as overly dependent on this site from time to time. However, I realize that those lessons that I have learned here- have been life changing on a deep level. The members' feedback has been invaluable with offered stop checks on some of my thoughts and much kind support. The occasional omg, draw in my breath from a sharp offer :confused::cautious: is becoming less intense for me. I now say, "Hey, I sound like that some-days! That's PTSD for you!"

I tried to delicately bridge two real time friendships & one health professional with some "light" conversation of PTSD. I watched them freeze in terror and drop out of frequent contact. lol I realize this is a safe and strong place for mental health. I am grateful for all of you here.

I realize my phobias and fears are keeping me immobile. I really need to work on those.

 

[Anrish]

@Recovery4Me : Thank you for sharing those deep thoughts with us. I'm also grateful that you're in this forum. :hug:

I realize that I can't think about a solution for not being able to get up in the morning. I'm awake and sit in my bed, just starring at the wall.

I realize that I enjoy cooking more when I don't have to do it alone and not only for myself.

@Anrish :hug: You are so kind.

Not to worry about morning rise. I have a trick! I drink lots of water at night, all night long. One- water is healthy, helps our body and two- it makes one quickly patter to the rest room in the morning! :clown: :whistling:
