Trying desperately to hang onto the feelings from vacation. Don't want to loose the sense of peace and that things will be okay. Feelings of acceptance and not pretending. Huge burden was lifted while gone. Now I feel it settling in again. Damn it, I don't want it too. Feeling overwhelmed by emotions I can't seem to name.

Had a fantastic trip .... hanging onto that with all my strength.
 
Pottershand - try using visualization to go back into those memories. You can re-experience them just like you can bad memories and be effected in all the same ways.

Today, I'm thankful for benedryl and steroids - my allergic reaction is calming down and I no longer want to tear my skin off.
 
Grateful that my grandchildren showed me the film "How to train your dragon" Fell in love with Toothless (my avatar). In some ways, he reminds me of me and the PTSD that I deal with. I need my support (T, gp, Psy, meds, friends, family) just as he needs that tail prothesis to be able to be him. And yes, I have dentures too, so call me Toothless :p
 
I LOVED How to Train Your Dragon SOOOOOO much. Someone needs to buy me a copy. We rented it and I watched it three times before returning it. :D

I'm grateful for real people - who aren't afraid to work hard and get dirty, with strong backs, who are willing to pull you out of your metaphorical holes as often as you yank them out of theirs.
 
I am thankful for the knowledge I continue to gain about ptsd and the understanding and support of ptsd forum members. Being able to feel like I'm not alone and that other people understand what I'm going through is so powerful. Thanks to all of you for sharing your stories. I'm also thankful for the blessings I've recieved and for a higher power. I'm thankful for my "good" days, I'm thankful for making progress and not living in denial. I'm thankful for the wonderful people I've chosen to be my family and the support they give me.
 
I am thankful that my fiancee convinced me to eat food yesterday. Otherwise, honestly, it just was not going to happen. I had already planned a long day of self-inflicted pain and suffering.
