What Did You Do For You Today???

[BlackbirdSinging]

I forced myself to go to the store with my parents. I've been having a very hard time today. I really didn't want to go but I knew staying home alone would probably have been a bad idea. I spent most of the day isolating so I knew I had to do something different.

The girls took down the cat tree since I do not have my cats anymore. I will take the girls out for fast food tonight.

I bought myself a lovely bouquet of flowers and a pint of Hagen Dass Chocolate with Peanut Butter ice cream. When I got home, I ate all the ice cream straight away then put the flowers in a vase with water :p

I did some shopping. I fixed up some stuff on the internet.

Saw people. Did things. Made some art.

Last night I had my husband pick up some Ben and Jerry's ice cream and had a nibble of it before bed. Only a nibble because it was really frozen! :D

I had a wonderful girlie shower complete with body scrub and lotion.

Went to a record shop in my lunch break. I've decided to start educating my (three-week old) daughter in music and thus picked up some decent heavy metal LPs. As a concession to my wife I also picked up some Holst and Dvorak.

I grabbed PTSD by the horns and decided if I have to have it then fine. But I don't have to let it run my life if I can help it. I reached out to a friend. I countered my distorted thoughts. I did a search on the internet of different kinds of distorted thinking. I made a list of which ones I struggle with. Then I searched how to stop doing them. I called my therapist. I went for as brisk of a walk that I could with my injured back. I took my therapists advice. I made lists of my distorted thoughts. I got takeout food for dinner. I bought a dry erase board to write positive things to myself on. And I bought myself a magazine. And you know what? I might be struggling all over again tomorrow but I'm showing myself I'm worth the fight.
