I know, I have been absent from the forum, for most of the new year, but life has thrown me, several curve-balls, both health-wise and personally.

Am feeling guilty, for not being there, when R. (whom I am helping out) had a possible stroke, around Friday noon. Am looking after her cats, while she is hospitalized. Tired and exhausted from my birthday bug, which is still lingering, after 2 weeks. And lastly depressed, from my prolong depression, which started in late 2013.

@EverOnly358 Thank you. I admitted to my son that I threw it away. My husband offered to go through the garbage's for him, but he declined the offer. He seemed to handle it better then I did. I even teared up, though he didn't see.

That sounds exactly what like what would have happened at our house, too, right down to not saving birthday cards and my husband offering to search the garbage and everything, LOL! It's really not a big deal that this happened, y'know... I mean, I hope you do know that. These things happen and I've come to understand that most people don't take them nearly so seriously as those of us with PTSD tend to. :hug:

Since I'm on a goofy roll with offering some helpful advice... would you like a little mantra action? ;) I say this to myself while sitting alone with my eyes closed trying to breathe slowly and focus on being calm and not letting things get to me... "May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be calm. May you be wise. May you be well. May you be peaceful and at ease." :smug:

And when my teenage kids are driving me nuts, the "you" is directed at them... but usually stated in my mind with a little more exasperation and authority... "May you just be happy and stop driving me nuts. May you be healthy and go outside and goof around and give me a little peace and quiet. May you be calm and close your mouth and not speak for two minutes so that I can hear myself think. May you be wise enough to see you are driving your poor mother to distraction! May you be well, always well, and know I love you as well. May you be peaceful and at ease." :laugh: LOL! I rarely say those kinds of things out loud to my kids... but saying them in my head helps. :)

Anyways... just lots of sympathy and empathy for having to deal with PTSD while living with teenagers. :O_o:

@EverOnly358 Thank you again, and thanks for the chuckle. I say a lot of things in my head too! lol

Heartbroken

@Snowwhite gets us every time. I don't know how many time I've done that to my wife. Blessed she stuck be me for more than 25 years. A person that can hold on to us has the true meaning of forgiveness

I am feeling very good today, with a great sense of accomplishment. I am tackling a huge project and I can see the big difference already.

 

[franciemarnie]

I am pooped. Fundamentally all is well but exhausted from broken sleep and nightmare with a ghost! during nap today. Just very very tired. Looking forward to rest now.

Hey @therisa! Good to see you.

 

[Deleted member 19804]

@atthree thank you for saying that. I'm afraid the ptsd is not the reason for my heartbreak though. He doesn't even know that about me yet. Anyway your reply was still comforting to me, thank you.

Nervous for an appointment today. :nailbiting:

 

[roaminggnome]

I am so angry. Maybe down right furious describes it best.

The appointment was good, but left me feeling kind of exposed as it was interview-y.

Feeling accomplished, but tired... :sleep:
