I am feeling a lot of pain in the hips today. Too much sitting at the computer working.

I feel happy I did a spot of bird watching this morning. But I am also feeling annoying for myself for poking my hips and making it worse whilst I was bird watching. I was pretty disassociated whilst bird watching. The main thing is I got there though. Even if I couldn't take much of the good stuff in. I need to learn how to take good stuff in. Being where there is good stuff is a start!

I have had a lovely day with my daughter and H, but don't know why I feel so disconnected and sad. I feel part of them but separate. It is hard to describe, I am loved, with people I love yet feel alone. Why?

I hate this.

 

[ms spock]

I so hate that too KP. If you ever work it out. Please let me know. I so want to understand that one.

I'm feeling pretty good, a bit tense though. I was supposed to talk to my ex yesterday but she never showed up. but otherwise I'm feeling good.

When we are confronted by such experiences that cause PTSD, we don't perceive the world and people the same way. I have an easier time connecting with people here on the forum then with my family and close friends. Contacts here have helped me improve my relationships, but I am still adjusting. The only ones I have an easier time to connect with are children, especially my grand-children. You are not the stranger in this situation, it is the PTSD that is creating that ``stranger`` feeling in you. How could anyone be the same after such a trauma ? It is sooooo difficult to explain this phenomena to be understood by those who have not lived through a trauma. Before having had PTSD, I had psychology courses to help me understand what PTSD is. It was well explained, but to live it, wow, now that is another thing as it really affects all spheres of our lives, it is so extensive that words cannot describe this.

I feel so stressed about my paper. I really want it to be over. I have been massively disassociating about it these last two days. I have a week's extension. I am so sick. But I need to get this done.

But I also need to regain physical health.

I'm procrastinating on my math homework because I got tons of things on my mind. I'm trying to force myself to do it.

Mondays are always difficult, I am not here yet, a bit adrift. However, I did get a text from my Son saying he loved me so there's a touch of an anchor and my sweet doggie (all 70lbs of her) is on the couch with me taking all the hugs and love available so I'm materializing somewhat. I have a beautiful old standing cast iron clock that loudly tick tocks which also helps with the grounding process, so I'm guessing that it's not so much "Rain Rain Go Away" this morning ;).

Peaceful and excited. Amazing mix.

To all those who are struggling with their school work, I'll be thinking of you. You are all amazing to me that you have the guts to accomplish such defeats (((Ms Spock))) & (((caliavitar)))

I'm feeling flat though my eyes are moist. Today would have been my grandfather's birthday.

I am thinking that it's okay to miss him and want to be with him.

I quiet today and that is okay.
