What Have You Accomplished Lately?

[ms spock]

Oh I have shifted from major avoidance and dissociation to being present in this now and doing work! Big change and shift for me.

I agreed to being admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Initially it felt like I was a failure because I haven't been in a mental hospital in at least 13 years and there I was in a very dangerous place and needing to be hospitalized. It meant that I had to leave my daughter to be taken care of by friends. It was so difficult to hear her cry and plead with me (on the phone and during one visit) to come back home. But while in the hospital I was completely honest with the doctors. I didn't try to "work the system" or just tell them what I needed to in order to get out more quickly. I spent 2½ weeks in the hospital. There were a lot of things there that I didn't like, but I don't regret going. Ultimately I got the help that I went there for and so desperately needed. There's still room for a little improvement but we have a solid, working plan and I'm feeling better than I have in a really long time. Everyone I've seen or talked to since getting out of the hospital has immediately noticed a difference. Most importantly, now that I'm feeling better it is a lot easier to be the best mom I can be and my daughter deserves that.

today i was a bit of a mess but managed to do some household chores. Cooked Some meals to put in the freezer. Cooked all of the family Meals and played with the kids. This is Just every day stuff but today it was an accomplishment to do anything.

I joined a weight loss group and lost about 30 pounds. I also got a plant, a living succulent, to keep me company. I repotted it and gave it a new home. I am hoping that it helps me to get accustomed to missing my service dog, that I had to give away due to her medical problems.

I am coming out of the dissociation, derealistion and depersonalisation.

I've pin pointed what triggered my ptsd symptoms to return. I've also become more self aware in general.

I decided to delete the mail address, I created especially for the newspaper notice where I wrote that I searched someone to spend time with.

I wrote two cards for postcrossing - and one mostly in Japanese.

I did my laundry.

Better emotional regulation.

I was able to focus on my tasks one after another without mixing up everything in my head.

I accomplished so much today and have all three girls cleaning the house for a change. That is a huge accomplishment. They are very quiet and very busy.

I have accomplished some emotional regulation and emotional boundaries.
