Ummm ... 2011 started with eye surgery to reduce eye pressure (glacoma) and contemplating life with significantly reduced vision, and life in general ... so what is important to me? First and foremost is to continue to learn to live better with ptsd ... this year that means adjusting to my wife's developing alztimers and her increasing dependence on me and being a caregiver ... staying involved as a mentor for inter city elementary children because success is measured in such small, basic steps though I will reduce the number of children I mentor to shift time to my wife's needs ... participating in golf leagues and shooting my first round in the sixties sometime this year ... and helping my grandchildren ... exercise ...

I think 2011 is going to be a rewarding year :)

Additional Goals of Mine for 2011 Are:

Persuade my H to regularly see a psychologist, encourage a series of Neuro-Psychol. eval's, testing to be done and/or a in-depth psychiatric eval. based upon any psycholigst's recommendations.

Set a deadline and disappear if obstacles for him doing so are invented, and this is not accomplished, committed to and followed through with by then!

I want to train some more horses in dressage.

Feel peace more consistently.

Do some more paintings. I sort of lost the urge recently.

My goal is to adjust to having ptsd, that this year is the end of the nightmare.

Another Goal for 2011:

To apply for a state sec. hlth ins. to perhaps pick up the costs of having dropped the catastrophic care on our present ins., due to trusting the woman in the office who told my husband that we didn't need the additional catastrophic part of our ins. due to it not covering much if anything more and only being there for if any one of us were to develop a catastrophic illness such as metasized cancer, etc.

Now we find out it pays 80%, opposed to 100% of even routine office visits, and many other differences.

I swear numbers of people now'a'days can't be trusted if there employed behind a desk and computer. She was probably playing solataire when she gave my husband such bogus information.

Anyhow my goal is: To apply for a state sec. hlth ins. and to not trust that anybody knows what there really advising and claiming to know.

To complete these 2 university units that I have enrolled in.. (Hopefully with outstanding marks.. but not beat myself up if I don't meet my expectations) And to at least complete the verbal presentation (hyperventilate).

To be in at least one other exhibition before the years end.

To maintain this behavioral roll I am on.. but not beat myself up if I fall.

Did anyone who posted meet their 2011 goals?

I graduated with my 2nd BS degree at the end of 2010, so a major goal for 2011 was to use my education and find some kind of philanthropy job using the skills I like doing (physical construction of some kind, helping people indirectly, and improving the environment).

I haven’t met that goal yet, but have taken some steps to get there.

I really want to:
(a) form a Eco-Friendly Union … bringing demolition and construction companies together to reclaim & reuse materials from structures scheduled to be knocked down.
(b) open aRestorationCenter… where I would bring in people with mental disabilities to do art projects using recycled/reclaimed materials … and twice a year turn the center into a gallery showing the most interesting pieces of art.

I might have an ‘Open Your Eyes’ column in my local paper soon. That is a working title; not sure what it will be called if I get the slot. I want to write about not letting the negativity of the media and reality shows cloud rational judgment, or thwart positive thinking.

Did anyone who posted meet their 2011 goals?

My goals for this year are

• To return to work. Either in my current role (I've been off sick since May, and they want to fire me), or to find myself a new job or training for a new job
• To take better care of my physical health (lose some weight and get physically fitter)
• Continue on my road to 'healing' and managing my PTSD.

• I returned to work (full time), in my current role as a Paramedic towards the end June 2011. So I have successfully been back working for 9 months. I think I've had 3 days off sick in that time, none of which were related to PTSD.
• I have lost about 3 stone in weight stone in weight (42lbs). I still have a lot more to lose, and still need to get 'fitter', but I'm pretty happy that I've made a significant start.
• My PTSD is pretty well 'managed'. I'm off most meds except for sleeping tablets. But I have now halved the dose, and only take about 2 nights per week, rather than the double dose every night. My alcohol consumption has dramatically decreased. Being that now I have a few drinks occasionally, rather than getting drunk frequently to 'forget'. I haven't self-harmed for at least 10 or 11 months. I'm back at work, full time, and managing, and even enjoying it! I'm getting 'out and about' much more these days. I joined a brass band last summer, which I love, and have just been invited onto the committee, as "band rep" at the AGM this week. I was the only new addition to the committee this year, and while it isn't a massively important role, it was quite a boost to be proposed, seconded and voted in. With comment such as "I think she'd be great", and "she has a very personable demeanour". I felt myself go very red with embarrassment, but it was a massive compliment at the same time.

So all in all, things are looking up, and I can look forward to the future, and look forward to every new day :D
