Sometimes I Just Want To Pretend That I Don't Have Ptsd

[Tosh]

Sometimes I pretend I don't have PTSD, I try to live my life normally, then (big suprise) I get smacked in the face with a flashback. At times I start to feel better... like I can handle life. Then I realize that it's because of what I'm doing to take care of myself that I feel some relief. The rollercoaster is old now...I guess maybe I'm just getting used to the emotions, ups and downs.

It sounds like your on a healing journey and on that road there are some pot holes but you're still driving and that's all that counts.:)

I think its a 'good days n bad days' kinda thing. It's crazy, and in a lot of ways complete insanity, because it comes out of no where. It's almost like...'hey im having a good day today', and then you start to relax a bit, and as soon as you do... the sh*t hits the fan...

If it make ya feel any better... I really can't make sense out of it either. Ive tried.
I just try to keep telling myself...'tomorrow is a new day...' sometimes it works, sometimes....not so much.

I may not be great support right now, but I can tell you, that your in similar company..
((hugs))

Yeah, I do this a lot.

This has been helping me for a while now.

The other thing is to imagine that everyone else has it but just don't know it yet.

I think I can understand you. You are not alone. But we still fight until the end, right? You can lose a battle but you will not lose the war. I try to think like this every day, even when my mind tricking me...it's not easy but I know that I'm strong :)
