I realise that I can feel sorry for myself sometimes, which is fine, just not to spend too long this way. It is better to care for myself instead of wallowing.
I realise that everyone needs to vent sometimes.
I realise the relationship I have with my mother is improving, even when I can get upset about the past. I would like it to continue getting better, but I realise I have realistic expectations now, instead of holding an ideal that cannot be attained. [I will keep working on me, which improves how we communicate with each other. I am glad to have her in my life. I need to move on from past upsets which are maybe not so bad when looking at the bigger picture.]
I realise I feel more mature.
I realise depression or PTSD can strike at any time. I realise that I can still get upset in the present, feel the feeling, and then find myself thinking about the past. I think I am processing the past along with events in the here and now - and I am grounding really well. I am accepting feelings and then moving on from them.
I realise when the PTSD is talking.
I realise I am proud of myself. I realise I am glad to be around and chat with everyone on the forums. It is a nice feeling of community, friendship and support.
^ I realise I talk too much :p:D:laugh:.
