Things We've Learned About Self Since Participating In Forum

[heidi]

I learned that I'm not just imagining I'll never get myself back. I also realized that I have to deal with coping with the symptoms because I've come to believe I can't just heal the original thing. I've also learned that we all have good and bad days. I've learned to stop thinking every time I have a good day everything is behind me.
It all sounds pretty bad. But I think I've learned that only the strong survive. That many people die.

That school teacher who told me I would find my bloody minded stubborness a problem in life did not know how well it would serve me.

I'm proud to be :-

"Stubborn".......strong

"Over creative".......adaptable and foresighted

"Needs to learn when a task is uncompleteable"........Rubbish,so sometimes things cannot be completed to the designed original specification,there is no reason to fail to continue to make the best with whatever materials are available.

Reading through childhood school reports made me laugh.

Your right wife of, being different from the rest has helped me with all this too.

Also being adaptable and able to change everything at a milli second notice. :tup:

I am learning trough this forum and the support that is here, how to stand on my own two feet, and to slowly feel safe upon them.
I am learning how to FEEL ,instead of know, that I am not alone in this.
I am learning to stay connected with that feeling troughout the constant support of the members her.
I learned that I truly have Complex trauma and PTSD symptoms and that I can no longer minimize or deny them, there is to much recongnision going on when I read posts of other members.
I learned that I can be touched by other members story's without having to fear the feelings it raised inside me, I can truly give my compassion and support. I can stand it, to read other peoples story's without becoming overwhelmed by sadness, fear and anxiety.
I learned to accept support, and give support, and to know the importance of it.
I am learning how it feels to be understood.

Thank you all for that!!!!!!

Last but not least: I learned that my english grammar is worse than I thought it was ;)
