What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

I am feeling tastes of possibly returning strength. Not that kind of strength that will move me personally, forward anywhere in recovery, ...certainly not, but the type of strength that comes only from grace and will allow me to trust that I can through baby-steps, manage better what comes my way, together and while knowing that I am doing my best.

Also, today the phone rang unexpected and the news on the other end was nothing short of grace as well. ......Grace for my daughter whom I love very much. As I had been discouraged in first hoping to arrange for this, and then I did anyways, and like at the speed of light, V'roosh...grace may've just come through the telephone lines. I want to believe its constructive and not destructive. It's suppose to be. I have such a terrible problem with trust. I've ended up trusting untrustworthy people, places, as well as, things - ........while not trusting, trustworthy people, places, as well as, sometimes things.
 
Scared. I have had a week 'off' (with no calls no BS and no BS) but tomorrow I start the PTSD course and even though I am organised, have physical exercise scheduled in, an appointment I HAVE TO get to on the same day (to keep me grounded) ....as soon as I thought about the course, after 4 days of blessed SLEEP and 2 days of not shaking, and actually waking up happy today for the first time in months, as SOON as I got into the PTSD course frame of mine, I shook, I got heartburn, I lost my concentration, my brain flicked from one place to another, conversations, people and events flooded my mind :x3:and I am so PISSED OFF! :mad: Trying to hold onto 'determination' :O_o:but have lost my peace. :cry:
 
I'm feeling stable & happy.

To those of you who are struggling to make sense of all that is happening to you, life does get better. It takes someone to guide you, small steps & loads of patience with yourself but it will happen & one day you too will be in recovery & happy.
 
Naffed off with having no transport of my own and having to rely on crappy Sunday train timetables.

Looks like my own plans for today may have to be scrapped, and no connection to hubby's PTSD.
 
Hugs Lionheart777.

We had been net friends for about 15 years. We even conversed snail mail. He even sent me his CD of his songs he wrote, sang and played the guitar in.

The past few months he has backed away from me and so far has never given me a reason why. I have never crossed any lines, I don't do things like that.

I thought we had a good platonic friendship. But I guess not. :(
 
Sandra, I am sorry that this has happened to you.

I had a real good friend that I admired and looked up to growing up. She was the proverbial "girl next door". Her boyfriend was abusing me and at one point she found out about it. I wrote her several years later to ask her why she never said anything about the boyfriend abusing me and she just stopped writing to me. I haven't heard from her since.:(
I suppose she feels guilty or has her own issues but I refuse to believe that she turned away because of something I had done. This was all about her.

When I look back I wonder if I really lost a friend after all, if she would so easily turn her back on me. I think not!!!
 
(((Jo may))) Thinking of you. I hope you feel more secure soon.:)
Also, I do understand the feeling of being sick alot. I guess all we can do is look forward to the times when things aren't so bad.;)
